they have great beers you can't get anywhere else. My favourite this summer was Paulaner, it had a citrucy lemonlike tartness to it, but was still all beer. Awesome on hot days.

Impressive selection of toys that you won't find elsewhere - all with an educational value. Free gift wrapping and fairly close to Lawrence subway station.

If you love oysters, Starfish is the place. Starfish varieties from all North America and around the world

they have super trendy pieces at unbelievabley cheap prices and now....drum roll please!....they are opening at Dundas & Yonge! Expected to open this June 2007, that means no more day trips to Buffalo!

while it's nice to get a free coffee at most nail spots, a free martini is always better.

Huge, delicious burritos stuffed with your choice of fillers. T vegetarian and meat filled alike are very tasty, and the combo is a pretty good deal - a lot of food for under $10. Right across the street from the ROM's new Cristal building, the decor is kitschy and cute and the guacamole is fantastic. A great place to grab lunch with friends or chill after an afternoon at the museum.

I lived in Paris for a year and never found a bowl of french onion soup as good as Le Papillon

Greasy is the goal with fish and chips, but it's a delicate balance. With most places, the grease overwhelms, here the fish and frites are crisp, salty and fresh! Yumlicious.

Mini kobe hamburgers and tempura shrimp in the same meal makes for a happy me.

for 12.99 you get all you can eat Brunch. (Sunday only!) The food is excellent, fresh and delicious. The chef cooks the omelette and waffle inside the open window.. very cool.
