5-10k run: I can alter the length of the run at several crossing points; the lack of cars; the cool breezes coming off of the lake; proximity to High Park in case I want to lengthen the run; a variety of running surfaces (concrete, asphalt, boardwalk, dirt path).

Rated this place:

296 Spadina Ave, Toronto, ON, M5T2E7

Soup: I went here for the first time last night, and WOW. #25 is an instant favourite: duck soup with massive, shrimp-stuffed wontons, bok choi and oodles of noodles. More please!

Pho 88 Vietnamese Restaurant

Rated this place:

270 Spadina Av, Toronto, ON, M5T2E5

Pho: The broth isnt too greasy, the meat is flavourful and tender. Plus the new renovation makes it my favourite place to eat lunch on Spadina. Also, you cant beat the price!

Pages Books & Magazines

Rated this place:

256 Queen St W, Toronto, ON, M5V1Z8

Bookstore: The best selection of Fiction and Non-fiction new releases in the city. Has a great feel to it, and oddly, this really bookish smell when you walk in the door. Love it!

The Roastery Coffee House

Rated this place:

401 Richmond Street West, Toronto, ON, M5V 3A8

Sandwiches spots: They have a fantastic selection of pre-made and to-order sandwhiches, all at a reasonable price. My favourites are the egg salad (with tons of veggies on it) and the turkey/avocado. Yumm! Plus, when it's nice out you can eat on the building's rooftop-patio -- the lushest in the city! http://www.401richmond.net/tenants/cafe.cfm
