Revue Cinema

Rated this place:

400 Roncesvalles Ave, Toronto, ON, M6R2M9

Movie theatre: Really comfortable seats, not too loud, approachable film geeks at the counter, and people actually shut up during the movies. It's delightful.

Buddha's Vegetarian Foods

Rated this place:

666 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON, M5T1H9

Cheap eats: Have you seen the quantity of really good, fresh food they bring you? Bring your own tupperware because you're going to need it. Small soup, rice and one dish (~$13 total) will easily serve two with some to take home.

Centre Island

Rated this place:

Toronto Islands, Toronto, ON, M5J1A1

Place to play frisbee: They have a whole frisbee golf course running the length of the islands. Great way to keep the walk through the manicured park lively and interesting. Even better with a surreptitious flask.

High Park

Rated this place:

1873 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON, M5H 2N2

Zoo: They have a number of capybaras, the world's largest rodent, as well as groundhogs who live with the mouflon sheep. Oh and the peahens of course. No, I'm not forgetting the llamas. Okay, I just love them all.

SOMA Chocolatemaker

Rated this place:

55 Mill St. (Building #47), Toronto, Ontario, M5A3C4

Hot chocolate: Is this the only place to get that insanely rich hot chocolate in the city? I have to admit to a bit of an addiction. Plus, it's like a little laboratory and they'll answer whatever questions you have about chocolatemaking if they aren't too busy.

The Workroom

Rated this place:

1340 Queen Street West, Toronto, ON, M6K 1L4

Crafty classes: Karyn (proprietor and teacher) is awesome, and their classes actually produce things you might want (unlike the poncho from my knitting class - seriously, how many men wear knit ponchos?). Great fabrics, great advice, and a button maker to boot.
