Howie — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 10:56:59 GMT

Howie's fave food shopping is at food by frances because If you're like me and struggle to pack a lunch to work or simply looking for already prepared dishes that you can enjoy at home, then this is the place. Basically, it's gourmet take-out, so you just have to heat it up in the microwave when you bring it home/to the office. So instead of fast food, you get to enjoy restaurant dishes in the comfort of your home/office with minimal work!

Howie — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 13:07:46 GMT

Howie's fave Cool sunglasses is at Spectacle because They carry high end glasses by Tom Ford and Marc Jacob, and they do prescription lenses.

Howie — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 20:49:55 GMT

Howie's fave italian restaurants is at paisano's because The aroma alone awakens your taste buds as you enter this cosy, local restaurant in the Sheppard and Willowdale area.

Howie — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 14:39:19 GMT

Howie's fave Romantic Spot is at Centre Island because Watching the sunset on the Centre Island side by the shore (take the ferry over) during the summer offers a view like no other. The view is spectacular - so beautiful it looks like something out of a painting. Definitely a place to check out in the summertime!

Howie — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 23:22:24 GMT

Howie's fave Bakery is at Wanda's in the Kitchen with Dinah because They are famous for their homemade tasting baked pies. At this particular location, they also sell wholesome take home, homemade tasting dishes and soups.

Howie's fave pub is at 3 Monkeys

Howie — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 15:07:29 GMT

Howie's fave pub is at 3 Monkeys because A great local pub/bar where you can catch the game (Leafs, Raptors) or other sporting event (MMA or boxing fights). Great because it has more menu selections than your usual pub/bar and the prices are really cheap, especially their specials (eg. Sun. and Mon. nite wings special with a drink, 49 cents each, min. of 10) - and their wings are really tasty! There's a special each day of the week, and the place has a great casual atmosphere.

Howie's fave italian restaurants is at One Of A Kind Pasta & Grill

Howie — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 11:28:43 GMT

Howie's fave italian restaurants is at One Of A Kind Pasta & Grill because This place truly lives up to it's name. The pastas they serve are uniquely "one of a kind". For example, they have a pasta with Chicken, Duck, Shrimps, and Sweet Italian Sausage all in it. Hence, don't expect traditional italian pasta here. Rather, it's a place worthy of trying to taste out of the ordinary pasta dishes. Also, the small, intimate dining area makes the place warm and inviting (think rose colour brown wooden tables and chairs)

Howie's fave restuarant is at On The Curve Hot Stove & Wine Bar

Howie — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 15:05:17 GMT

Howie's fave restuarant is at On The Curve Hot Stove & Wine Bar because One of my favourite shrimp pasta is served here. On their old menu, it was called "Shrimps in Love". It is actually not on their new menu anymore, but you can still order it by asking your server. The rosay sauce in this pasta is full of flavour and captures both the juicy fresh tomatoes and shrimp flavour perfectly. The shrimps are also abundant and juicy as well. More of a lunch place during the work week.

Howie's fave Asian restaurants is at Indochine Thai Vietnamese Restaurant

Howie — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 14:08:22 GMT

Howie's fave Asian restaurants is at Indochine Thai Vietnamese Restaurant because What makes this place good is that there are just no Chinese/Viet/Thai restaurants that's an acceptable walking distance in this area Yonge & Davenport Intersection (next to Toronto Reference Library) in the winter time. The food is decent and is not very expensive at all. Hard press to find an Asian restaurant with comarable quality and prices in this area!!

Howie's fave Moroccan cuisine is at The Sultan's Tent

Howie — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 16:13:04 GMT

Howie's fave Moroccan cuisine is at The Sultan's Tent because There's not too many Moroccan restaurants where there's a live cultural belly dancing performance while you eat. The set meals to choose from have several courses, which besides the live performance is the main attraction to this place because you get to try several different Moroccan items. It is a bit pricey, but considering that you are getting a live performance & food, it's worth it to try.For the brave, they also ask for volunteers who they teach how to belly dance in front of everyo

Howie's fave Authentic Mexican food is at Jalapeno's Mexican Restaurant

Howie — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 15:21:17 GMT

Howie's fave Authentic Mexican food is at Jalapeno's Mexican Restaurant because Authentic Mexican food - our server was great in explaining to us all the different items on the menu from his home country (we asked a lot of questions!) I think the best part about this place is that they have some dishes distinct to specific regions in Mexico. Also, they had a wide variety of different meats for everyone to chose from, so there was something for everyone.

Howie's fave fabric store is at macFAB Fabrics

Howie — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 14:10:40 GMT

Howie's fave fabric store is at macFAB Fabrics because Great place to find and buy accessories & notions that you need to make your own clothing (like interfacing for shirt collars, fasteners for waistcoats/vests, etc.) or if you're looking for such items to repair your worn clothing. They have virtually every notion/accessary imaginable here.

Howie's fave Furniture Store is at Cooper's Office Furniture

Howie — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 13:24:16 GMT

Howie's fave Furniture Store is at Cooper's Office Furniture because Great place to get a comfortable Chair for your desk at home!! It took me a long while to find a place that sold comfortable comfortable desk chairs for my desk at home. - So I wanted to share with everyone this place & save everyone the time in searching, if you are looking for such furniture. They have ergonomic chairs that are much better than what the usual furniture "chain" stores offer, but yet are still affordable. The chairs they carry are also super durable.

Howie's fave burrito is at Bar Burrito

Howie — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 09:52:10 GMT

Howie's fave burrito is at Bar Burrito because Looking for a Fastfood burrito or quesadilla but want something more refined than taco bell or Burrito Boys? At this place, you can get such a burrito/quesadilla - Mostly take out, but there are seats for sit down as well. You can taste that the ingredients they use are more authentic in terms of mexican cuisine - so the main draw of this place is getting a higher quality burritos but still being able to get the quick service (as oppose to having to go to a sit down restuarant)

Howie's fave fish and chips is at Chippy's Fish and Chips

Howie — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 09:24:30 GMT

Howie's fave fish and chips is at Chippy's Fish and Chips because I've been to the Queen Street West Location between Bathurst and Ossington and it's great. It's not easy to find a good fish and chips place in Toronto and this place is great. It's more of a take out place because there's only 3 or 4 seats. It's pricey for a fish and chips stand, but they give you lots of fish and fries.

Howie's fave bath/beauty products is at Beauty Supply Outlet The

Howie — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 01:11:21 GMT

Howie's fave bath/beauty products is at Beauty Supply Outlet The because Honestly, there's no other place you want to consider shopping when it comes to hair products. This store (especially the one at Steeles and Yonge) in North York carries so many different hair products it's incredible. Because this is basically all they sell, they will always have more choices to select from than your salons. The staff is also very knowledgeable - just ask them what you are looking for and they will let you know all your choices -check out their no hassle guarantee on website
