amandaklaird's fave Burger is at The Yellow Griffin because Most of the things I put in my mouth are simply vehicles for cheese--crackers, scrambled eggs, toast, apples.

The Film Buff has slide in to home base to claim the penant. They have coconut ice cream that is twice as good, half the price and within relative walking distance of my place... I'm looking out my fat pants as we speak.

amandaklaird — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 10:42:50 GMT

amandaklaird's fave Friday Afternoon Patio is at The Done Right Inn because When it's 20c and brilliantly sunny it's easy to argue that a patio is a patio is a patio. But sometimes when the weather is beautiful and you've had a Friday that feels like a Friday you need that je nais sais quois. At times like this you head to the Done Right. The back patio is almost entirely shaded by a brilliant tree, young vines climb up the wooden fences and the shoddy furniture makes you feel like you're enjoying your tipple in the backyard. Regulars are friendly and welcoming.

amandaklaird — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 13:44:47 GMT

amandaklaird's fave Pizza is at Express Pizza because Some people think that pizza is all about the toppings--I think it's 50% toppings, 50% crust. This little dive of a pizza shop, located underneath the Stag Shop at 447 Church, knows how to do crust right. Giant slices are floppy, yet still crispy. A perfect late night snack when you've been cutting up the rug in the village.

amandaklaird — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 16:24:47 GMT

amandaklaird's fave Snooty Bar is at Ultra Supper Club because everything here is beautiful. The furniture, the view, the perfect shaken lime margaritas, the bar back. This is the kind of bar where people oft chose to see and be seen, and so the clientele can be a little snooty--but the staff is always friendly. A drink here feels like a drink in an R. Kelly video.

amandaklaird's fave Ridiculously Priced Gourmet Food Shop is at Max's Market because Every so often I can't help myself from splurging on some really delicious, ridiculously over-priced gourmet foods and I like to do it at Max's Market. I reccomend a nice wedge of Camembert, the chocolate French tart cookies and the cashew-stuffed dates. Also a great selection of salads and prepared foods when you're too lazy to make supper but want to eat something a little more shi-shi than ramen.

amandaklaird's fave Beach is at Sutra Lounge because The back patio at Sutra Lounge is covered in sand and it makes you feel like you should be somewhere in the tropics. You'll wait too long to get a drink--but when it comes in a coconut you really can't complain too much.
