Dilly2's fave yoga studio is at The Yoga Sanctuary

Dilly2 — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 15:10:28 GMT

Dilly2's fave yoga studio is at The Yoga Sanctuary because The studio at Yonge and College has well-earned its "sanctuary" monicker. The hardwood floors and beaming natural light set the tone for some meaningful om-ing. Not only are the instructors reliable, but classes usually include an assistant who walks around to (respectfully) correct your downward dog.

Dilly2's fave crispy chicken sauteed with honey and black pepper sauce is at Pink Pearl Restaurant

Dilly2 — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 15:08:57 GMT

Dilly2's fave crispy chicken sauteed with honey and black pepper sauce is at Pink Pearl Restaurant because The flirtation between sweet and spicey heats up with every morsel of this Pink Pearl fave. This is a restaurant that knows me by name AND by order (think Sandra Bullock in 2 Weeks Notice). Don't skimp out on the spring rolls, either. Those willing to pick it up will save 15% on this upscale chinese indulgence.

Dilly2's fave cafe au lait is at Patachou Patisserie

Dilly2 — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 10:44:32 GMT

Dilly2's fave cafe au lait is at Patachou Patisserie because Not only is this frothy combination of beans (ground-to-perfection) and steamed milk memorable enough to keep you craving this treat all week long, you're also given an option to lap it up in a decadent bowl. Pair it with their "best in the city" butter croissants and you'll be loath to leave gai Paris.

Dilly2's fave Sushi is at Sushi On Bloor

Dilly2 — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 10:40:57 GMT

Dilly2's fave Sushi is at Sushi On Bloor because To be fair, I'd be biased toward any place that hands me miso soup the second after I'm seated. Still, the hype of sushi on bloor is definitely well-deserved. The service is fast, generally accurate, and you can order all that your heart desires while keeping the bill ridiculously cheap. The line-up can be frustrating given the lack of space to stand in, but all will be forgotten when you sink your teeth into a delish Casa Loma roll.

Dilly2's fave unique gift is at Propaganda Accessories Inc

Dilly2 — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 10:28:32 GMT

Dilly2's fave unique gift is at Propaganda Accessories Inc because Even when in a hurry, I can't walk past this adorable store without sneaking a peek. Propaganda is full of one-of-a-kind (local) designer jewellery, handbags, clothes, and random items you never thought you needed 'til you walked through the door. You'll hear yourself awwwing at the sheep and ice cream mittens while desperately trying to convince yourself that you really don't need another bag (good luck with that one)!

Dilly2's fave Sunday brunch is at Cafe la Gaffe

Dilly2 — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 18:25:07 GMT

Dilly2's fave Sunday brunch is at Cafe la Gaffe because If their banana french toast or creamy/savory eggs benedict aren't reason enough to get yourself dressed and out the door on a Sunday morning, I don't know what is. Grab the cozy front table for a view of this unique nook of a neighbourhood.

Dilly2's fave yam burrito is at Big Fat Burrito

Dilly2 — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 18:24:08 GMT

Dilly2's fave yam burrito is at Big Fat Burrito because Don't get me wrong, Burrito Boyz is a top priority for me, but when I'm closer to home or hungry after strolling around Kensington, nothing is more satiating than a yam burrito! Enjoy great tunes while chowing down on some seriously delicious mexican yumminess.

Dilly2's fave night out is at Andy Poolhall

Dilly2 — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 18:11:16 GMT

Dilly2's fave night out is at Andy Poolhall because Fulfilling the needs of friends with diverse interests, the modern-artsy Andy's offers up lounging, dancing and healthy pool-shooting competition. Get there before the lines, and you'll likely stay most of the night without getting bored. It's also strategically located next to some very tasty late-night street-meat. *I highly recommend the mellonball cocktail: dee-lish!*

Dilly2's fave Butter Chicken is at Rangoli Restaurant

Dilly2 — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 17:55:44 GMT

Dilly2's fave Butter Chicken is at Rangoli Restaurant because I'm a sucker for butter chicken, but the Rangoli experience doesn't end there. The service is incredible, and the atmosphere is cozy, quiet and neighbourly. The food here never disappoints.

Dilly2's fave gelato is at Hollywood Gelato

Dilly2 — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 17:37:58 GMT

Dilly2's fave gelato is at Hollywood Gelato because Ferrero Rocher flavoured gelato?! Talk about your jaw-dropping, mouth-watering summertime discovery! Devour your scoops with child-like glee as you stroll along what I like to call the "Eglinton and Babyview" neighbourhood.

Dilly2's fave flourless chocolate cake is at Scaramouche Restaurant

Dilly2 — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 17:35:26 GMT

Dilly2's fave flourless chocolate cake is at Scaramouche Restaurant because After all the time you've spent FINDING the well-hidden gem of Scaramouche, you owe it to yourself to stay for dessert! The rich flourless chocolate torte is served warm and gooey and melt-in-your-mouthy. The restaurant also offers a breath-taking view of downtown T.

Dilly2's fave Mussels is at Le Select Bistro

Dilly2 — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 14:06:42 GMT

Dilly2's fave Mussels is at Le Select Bistro because Atlantic mussels are served in a heavenly combo of quebec ale and bacon sauce that begs to be soaked up by Le Select's fresh-out-of-the-oven bread. I especially love the unpretentious bistro/saloon atmosphere where kinda-fancy meets very-authentic.
