DevonG — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 16:11:39 GMT

DevonG's fave Submarine Sandwich is at New York Subway because They're so huge and wonderful. It's a shame that you see so many people in the subway restaurant next door. Give it a chance, people, you'll never go back.

DevonG's fave Public swimming pool is at Christie Pits Park

DevonG — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 21:54:52 GMT

DevonG's fave Public swimming pool is at Christie Pits Park because On any given night there's around 10-20 people in 3-4 groups if it's hot enough. It's basically an afterhours party but you can swim and go in the hot tub. Sick, Sick Pool.

DevonG — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 18:07:55 GMT

DevonG's fave Haunted Location is at The Keg Mansion because Ok, I know maybe I've said this before, but this time it's for sure. There's ghosts in this place, they don't let you up to the 3rd floor because of the ghosts, and if you go to the bathrooms on the second floor, you'll totally understand. Welcome to spooksville, population: you.

DevonG's fave hot dog stand is at Queen and Spadina

DevonG — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 03:49:24 GMT

DevonG's fave hot dog stand is at Queen and Spadina because This corner houses the #1 hot dog stand in the city. Trust me, I read it on his sign.

DevonG — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 03:58:54 GMT

DevonG — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 05:26:32 GMT

DevonG's fave Ice cream is at Dutch Dreams Ltd because Picture this. Their milkshakes come in a 1L tub. It's not a cup, it's just a big 1L tub that they cut a little hole in the plastic lid of, and they give you that, and you can get said milkshake with pocket change (silvers and golds, but still... change). Everything is so fresh and huge. The CEO of baskin robbins has dutch nightmares.

DevonG — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 10:01:57 GMT

DevonG's fave LCBO is at Summerhill because There are so few vintages locations as-is. This one is that and more. Just properly massive, great looking building, and the best selection you could ever ask for.

DevonG's fave French Onion Soup is at Le Papillon French Restaurant

DevonG — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 09:57:49 GMT

DevonG's fave French Onion Soup is at Le Papillon French Restaurant because This soup really does eat like a meal. I could live through the winter on just one of their large french onion soups. The taste is unlike anything I've had in my entire life. It's really an insult to this soup, that we call other french onion soups "french onion soup".

DevonG's fave Crepes is at Le Papillon French Restaurant

DevonG — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 09:54:40 GMT

DevonG's fave Crepes is at Le Papillon French Restaurant because This place really surprises me everytime I go. The portions are big, the prices aren't too bad, the atmosphere is great, and the location causes it to be a bit of a cult thing, so even on a busy night, if you call ahead a few hours you shouldn't have a problem getting a reservation. Beyond all of this, AMAZING crepes of both the dinner and dessert variety. So many selections, and every one of them worthwhile.

DevonG's fave Vintage Clothing Store is at Vintage Depot

DevonG — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 09:49:24 GMT

DevonG's fave Vintage Clothing Store is at Vintage Depot because It's like someone went through every value village and brought all of the good stuff here. Every tee has the right balance of camp and style, there's really not that many shirts that I looked at and said "this is too tacky". Not to mention their huge selection of Hats, Leather Jackets, Windbreakers, Glasses... The list goes on and on.

DevonG's fave Music store is at Sonic Boom

DevonG — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 08:13:43 GMT

DevonG's fave Music store is at Sonic Boom because You know how big costco is? it's like that, but instead of 12 gallon jugs of pickles, it's cds and records. Shell out for rare and collectible finds or stuff your collection full of their HUGE selection of used cds/lps.

DevonG's fave after bar snack is at The Greek Corner

DevonG — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 08:00:37 GMT

DevonG's fave after bar snack is at The Greek Corner because They're open until 4am on fridays and saturdays, so it makes a great end to any big night out if you're in the area. Did I mention it's only 7.95 for a gyro, pop, and any side? No... I didn't... I left it for last because it was the most important part.

DevonG's fave Dive Bar is at Thymeless

DevonG — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 07:48:49 GMT

DevonG's fave Dive Bar is at Thymeless because Maybe somewhere to be avoided on a night on the weekend, because it gets a bit rough, but during the week it's got a perfect patio, and it's usually just the right balance between busy and empty. Also, a little bird told me you may or may not be able to smoke certain cigarette alternatives on the patio...

DevonG's fave Music Gear Store is at Moog Audio

DevonG — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 07:45:27 GMT

DevonG's fave Music Gear Store is at Moog Audio because Even if you're not a pro, or even a hobbyist, it's an adult toy store. Huge selection of everything that is synth/dj. The Extremely helpful staff and low pressure atmosphere make it perfect, because they seem to understand what a big decision choosing your equipment is... unlike some stores... coughstevescough.

DevonG's fave electronic surplus stores is at Active Surplus Electronics

DevonG — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 07:39:13 GMT

DevonG's fave electronic surplus stores is at Active Surplus Electronics because The guy shouting at you outside in an iron maiden Tshirt isn't nuts, he's just really enthusiastic about this place with due cause. Great for any DIY project, even if you're not a pro, they can usually help you along with the basics.

DevonG — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 07:36:00 GMT

DevonG's fave Greasy spoon for breakfast is at Mel's Montreal Delicatessen because The cure to a hangover, contrary to popular belief, is not to drink water and get rest. It's poutine. Mel's poutine.

DevonG's fave Dive Bar is at The Done Right Inn

DevonG — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 07:34:39 GMT

DevonG's fave Dive Bar is at The Done Right Inn because It was a hard time choosing this over the Daughter, but look, they take canadian tire money and x-rays as currency, so go break your arm, ask your grandpa for his CT stash, and get drunk. They have a hole in the bathroom that you can punch bigger, old school pinball, and a patio with solid tree coverage. Go here.

DevonG's fave cheese store is at Cheese Magic

DevonG — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 07:31:04 GMT

DevonG's fave cheese store is at Cheese Magic because This place is killer. Fast and Frinedly staff, Wide selections, and great quality. Free yourself from the confines of the A&P deli section, you don't live with your parents anymore, so stop eating your parents' boring cheese. I mean, come on already.

DevonG's fave Lounge is at Labyrinth Lounge

DevonG — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 07:26:31 GMT

DevonG's fave Lounge is at Labyrinth Lounge because I'm a student, and I don't work that much, so I rarely have enough to spend money getting drunk outside of my own home, but with decent DJ's (usually) and 2 brutally cheap drink nights (wednesday and thursday), it's a great spot to meet up with friends, pre-drink for the night ahead, or just go to get drunk mid-week.
