bbowden's fave brewery is at Steam Whistle Brewing because You walk in a piece of Toronto history and a couple tickets for free beer! Cant beat that.

bbowden's fave Variety Store is at K & P Variety Store Gifts, Milk, and Things

bbowden — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 21:52:17 GMT

bbowden's fave Variety Store is at K & P Variety Store Gifts, Milk, and Things because it is run by incredibly friendly people who sell milk, veggies, fruit, flowers, and anything else you need conveniently at very honest prices. The fruits and veggies pretty much the same price as the big chains. I live a few doors down and do most of my shopping there partly because I'm lazy but mainly because I would much rather give my money to the owners than the corporate overpriced Dominion. Swing by if you're in the area and say hello.

bbowden's fave ice cream in Little Italy is at The Big Chill

bbowden — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 13:26:53 GMT

bbowden's fave ice cream in Little Italy is at The Big Chill because I walked past it so many times drawn to the set up of chairs outside it on Manning St just off College. Muskoka Chairs, kids chairs, benches, all multicoloured and fun looking. It took a laundry night to get me in to try it 2 weeks ago and I've been back 3 times since. Couples and families, and kids on bikes seems to be the crowd. It's Retro 70's feel, a tribute to true American style ice cream. I usually get the freshly made frozen yogourt but they've got it all.

bbowden's fave Karaoke Bar is at Gladstone Hotel

bbowden — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 13:25:20 GMT

bbowden's fave Karaoke Bar is at Gladstone Hotel because its a nice lounge bar with a great crowd. You better get there early to request a spot on stage. The host is a real pro and even has an 'applause' sign he puts up when someone deserves it. Last night's fav was "Welcome to the Jungle" by a serious Guns and Roses fan with great air guitar skills. The dude spun around on the ground of the stage. Classic.

bbowden — Mon, 28 May 2007 12:10:02 GMT

bbowden — Sun, 27 May 2007 15:39:00 GMT

bbowden — Sun, 27 May 2007 15:36:10 GMT

bbowden's fave dance bar is at The Social

bbowden — Sun, 27 May 2007 13:37:39 GMT

bbowden's fave dance bar is at The Social because I like the Social because the vibe is right. You feel like you've escaped the uptight yuppie Drake Hotel style Queen West and you've made it to a good time joint where you can leave your pretension at the door. The crowd is there to party, and possibly "socialize" with other people they don't know! In this day and age in the big city you cant always find that. I like The Social because of the vibe, the tunes, and the drinks are honestly priced.

bbowden's fave brunch is at Kalendar

bbowden — Sun, 27 May 2007 12:19:18 GMT

bbowden's fave brunch is at Kalendar because well, the food is great and the location is key (right across the street from my house). I would suggest you try the French Toast stuffed with mango, banana, and cream cheese. I order it almost everytime, but you might want to share because its quite filling. The side order of country sausage is the best i've ever had. Yummy

bbowden — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 13:48:11 GMT

bbowden's fave Tequila Corralejo is at found only in Mexico because It's the best tasting alcohol I may have ever tasted. My parents brought it back from Mexico for me. If you come across a bottle don't bother mixing it with anything. It's great straight up! My facial expression says it all, I had a little affection for that drink.
