lcd07 — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 17:27:38 GMT

lcd07's fave Pizza delivery is at Gino's Pizza because Nice crunchy crust. Lots of mozzarella cheese, you know, the kind that tastes even better with more flavour the next day when it's cold. I got the Hawaiian a lot.

lcd07's fave Beef patty on cocoa bun is at The Only Cafe because so damn good i dont know what they do but it tastes amazing!

lcd07's fave italian restaurant is at Pat&Mario's

lcd07 — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 01:14:41 GMT

lcd07's fave italian restaurant is at Pat&Mario's because I'm a pasta primavera nut, and although this pasta isn't fresh and comes out of a bag the ingredients and sauce make it delicious enough that I randomly crave it. If you're staying around the airport and stuck for places to eat I would definitely check this place out. I think it had its "hay day" in the 80's and kind of fell off after that, but the wood fire oven and fresh baked pizzas have kept it going this long.

lcd07's fave italian restaurant is at Rosa's Place

lcd07 — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 01:07:02 GMT

lcd07's fave italian restaurant is at Rosa's Place because Two words: Fusilli Primavera UNGH! Soooooo awesome. I love Rosa. And her place, but mostly her pasta. Penne alla Vodka is right up there too. My tastebuds couldn't believe what they were getting to experience.

lcd07's fave Martini is at Hey Lucy Cafe

lcd07 — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 00:56:50 GMT

lcd07's fave Martini is at Hey Lucy Cafe because The place is really narrow and has construction all outside, but the selection of martinis is extensive. So many to choose from. Lots of sweeter martinis for people who dont like to taste the alcohol (which I do), so definitely a good place for novice martini drinkers. Try to get a zebra-print booth in the front so you aren't crammed into the side or back area.

lcd07's fave Mouthwatering steak is at THE 561 Dining On Avenue

lcd07 — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 00:49:44 GMT

lcd07's fave Mouthwatering steak is at THE 561 Dining On Avenue because A weird name for a restaurant tucked away beneath an apartment building, but the food is phenomenal. I was there for a staff party and the salads, entrees and desserts were all perfectly prepared. The fusion of flavours was memorable. The steak in particular was like biting into a piece of orgasm. I worked with a bunch of (questionably) thin females and even they were wolfing down the food. The decoration was a little cheesy: fake ivy plants, Renaissance- like statues and Grecian columns.

lcd07's fave Mediterranean restaurant is at Mashu Mashu Mediterranean Grill

lcd07 — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 00:44:25 GMT

lcd07's fave Mediterranean restaurant is at Mashu Mashu Mediterranean Grill because The Mashu Mashu salad is the best ever, perfectly dressed with juicy, little cherry tomatoes. The place does a great job with catering large parties too. The location is kind of small but worth the squeeze because the food is something that you eat and want more of the next day. Everyone in the neighbourhood frequents the place so make a reservation on a Thurs-Sun night.

lcd07's fave Cute tops is at City Of Angels

lcd07 — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 00:27:47 GMT

lcd07's fave Cute tops is at City Of Angels because At first glance this store looks like a place for tacky bar sluts, but if you go in and look they do have some good brands and styles. Lots of sales as well. I dropped $98 and got 3 nice shirts. It has casual clothes and dressier clothes, as well as hand bags and jackets.

lcd07's fave Spicy Beef patties is at Albert's Real Jamaican

lcd07 — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 00:26:21 GMT

lcd07's fave Spicy Beef patties is at Albert's Real Jamaican because Close to where I live (Bathurst/St. Clair), fast service, tasty food. Sometimes not as spicy as I'd like though. Good selection of Carribean soft drinks. Once in a while new flyers for good reggae parties.

lcd07's fave Bellini is at Milestone's Grill & Bar

lcd07 — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 22:15:58 GMT

lcd07's fave Bellini is at Milestone's Grill & Bar because The bellini (with an extra shot of Raspberry Stoli) at Milestone's is so refreshing on a summer day. A good blend of sweet with a kick from the sangria and vodka. You can hang out on the John St. patio and order order some popcorn shrimp. Prime location and perfect place to bring the ladies for some cocktails.

lcd07's fave Shirts is at Spoof

lcd07 — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 21:57:32 GMT

lcd07's fave Shirts is at Spoof because You can find tons of sales at Spoof. Actually I don't think anything is ever full price. $20 will get you one of the nicer shirts. The simple designs definitely need to be dressed up with earrings or a necklace, but the material is flattering (all the same for each shirt) and comes in great colours. Don't put it in the washing machine though! Good for date clothes to make you look effortlessly adorable and stylish. They sell nice earrings too.

lcd07's fave Middle Eastern food is at By The Way Cafe

lcd07 — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 21:52:51 GMT

lcd07's fave Middle Eastern food is at By The Way Cafe because Lots of Australian and Californian wines from which to choose. Super cheap prices. I ordered a combination plate with lamb, Hummus, Babagough, Tabuleh, Israeli salad & amazing tasting falafels for $13! Just make sure if you go with your uncultured, meat-and-potato loving father that you don't let him order and mispronounce all the menu items. Gah! The restaurant is not much to look at nor is the patio but the prices and tastes make up for it!

lcd07's fave Eastern knick knacks is at Piya's Boutique

lcd07 — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 21:47:01 GMT

lcd07's fave Eastern knick knacks is at Piya's Boutique because A really cute boutique located between Spadina and St.George on Bloor. They have tons of pretty scarves, unique picture frames, incense holders, Hindi statues, wall hangings etc. You can bargain the prices down too. Lots of things to accessorize your home.

lcd07's fave Breakfast place is at Over Easy Restaurant

lcd07 — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 21:42:38 GMT

lcd07's fave Breakfast place is at Over Easy Restaurant because I know; how original. At least I didn't say Fran's. The only time I could be bothered to go out for breakfast is if Im doing something afterwards, so this place is a close walk to the ROM and cute shops along Bloor (Piya's Boutique!). I hate eggs and breakfast food in general, but the place is so chipper and homey. Good home fries and BLTs (without the bacon for me and a slice of cheddar instead). Really good caesars and mimosas.

lcd07's fave Mango smoothies is at Easy Restaurant

lcd07 — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 21:37:50 GMT

lcd07's fave Mango smoothies is at Easy Restaurant because I hate this end of town. The restaurant, which seats like 20 ppl tops, was packed full of hipster douches who kept their sunglasses on while eating. The waitress was a total bitch. I asked for a slight variation on my order and by her reaction you'd think I asked for her first born child. BUT, was worth it all once I put my lips around the straw and sucked back that thick, sweet mango smoothie! If you get a screwdriver there in the AM make sure you tell her to put it in a short glass.

lcd07's fave seafood pasta is at Pickle Barrel Restaurant & Catering

lcd07 — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 21:26:25 GMT

lcd07's fave seafood pasta is at Pickle Barrel Restaurant & Catering because The sauce is so creamy and flavourful, the seafood is fresh, the pasta's always cooked just right and the wine selection is really decent. The atmosphere is really relaxing at the Yonge/Eglinton location and it's a good pre or post-movie place to eat. The Yonge/Dundas location is kind of cramped up top but the lower level is nice and I love the seating.

lcd07's fave Sports Bar is at Armadillo Texas Grill

lcd07 — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 21:23:53 GMT

lcd07's fave Sports Bar is at Armadillo Texas Grill because You can watch any sport that's on, it's loud, filled with married men and happy sports lovers. The space is big and open with lots of TVs. With all the Christmas lights, it's a warm, inviting space to sip back their jumbo Margueritas after you've just watched a Jays game at the Dome. Or to drink a pitcher while you watch a Leafs game.

lcd07's fave Greek food is at Pappas Grill

lcd07 — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 21:20:08 GMT

lcd07's fave Greek food is at Pappas Grill because Heavy on the carbs with all the rice and potatoes but hey it's Greek! Decent salad, but really tender and finely-flavoured lamb. Shots of Ouzo are fun after the meal. Nice side-walk patio, although sometimes inhaling car fumes and being harassed by bums isn't appetizing, so indoors is a good option too.

lcd07's fave Inexpensive curry is at Ginger 2

lcd07 — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 21:17:27 GMT

lcd07's fave Inexpensive curry is at Ginger 2 because Cheap beer ($2.75 a can), lots of combos to choose from, extremely well-priced, great curry, diner-like set up with a good view of Yonge Street. Casual and low key, which if you've read my previous faves you know I love, plus I didnt have an upset stomach after eating it! Miraculous.

lcd07's fave Tequila is at Hernando's Hideaway

lcd07 — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 21:16:23 GMT

lcd07's fave Tequila is at Hernando's Hideaway because A great selection of tequila, kitschy Mexican decor and charming waiters who do shots with you. The one @ Yonge/ Wellesley is the location I'm talking about. I haven't tried the food but I've heard only good things.
