Great bento box options and lots of food that won't put a slice through your wallet.
Chicken BLT Salad or Mandarin Chicken. Both these salads mean one thing to me: summer. They are cheap, summer celebration salads. Plus, according to Fast Food Nation, Wendy's is one of the best choices when it comes to socially conscious fast food joints - if such a thing exists.
They have the only point system that actually equals some sort of reward. Trade in those points and get some awesome self-tanner or cellulite cream. In fact, you end up buying all these things you never really knew you needed. That's the power of the Shoppers Drug Mart.
Okay, so it's not in Toronto, but lots of Torontonians love to escape for the weekend! Can I get an amen?! Grand Bend is huge for tourists in the summer, but I went in the fall when the weather was still beautiful and the beaches were empty. Grab a slice of Grand Bend pizza and sit on the beach, or walk through the little burbs and check out the rental cottages.
The canadian destination for lovers. Cliche? Yes, but cliche because it's true. Niagara Falls is gorgeous. I love the bright lights and plastic signs on Clifton Hill. Indulge your inner child and play some Whack-a-Mole and buy candy with your prize tickets. And you can't beat all the amazing greasy spoon breakfast places that open at 6:00 AM. And it's the amateur photographer's dream location too. I heart Niagara Falls.
Right beside Casa Loma, this beautiful old house has gorgeous gardens in the back. When we went visited there, it was practically empty and we could stroll through the acreage and take as much time as we wanted. The flowers were as tall as me - not that that takes much, being under five feet tall but still... I love this location.
A 10 day festival that features some of the best (and possibly worst) theatre in the city! All the plays are chosen by lottery, so pay attention to the NOW and EYE Weekly reports on the festival to keep tabs on what's good. Some shows that have made a big splash over the last few years include The Drowsy Chaperone, Bash'd and Funny Business - The Musical.
I will always have a soft spot for the Canon, formerly the Pantages Theatre where I saw Phantom of the Opera no less than four times when I was younger.
Great atmosphere, always fun and never intimidating. If you're quick, you'll catch my classic rendition of "Hit Me With Your Best Shot".
Right in the condo district, this salon has great prices and is all about the client. The owners (who are also the sylists) are some of the nicest people you'll meet in this city. I went to a lot of places here in Toronto when I first moved here for hair colour and cut, and Capri is the only one I would recommend. I had box blonde highlights - they fixed it! I had fried black hair - fixed! Truly they are miracle workers :)
It's true what everyone says: the dipping sauce makes it worth it. But they sell it separately now! So... stay tuned for more exciting pizza stories.
They do offer a huge variety of makeup and perfume. I love that they carry a perfume line that smells like "clean wet laundry", "fresh cut grass" and even "bandaid". Weird, but awesome! I'm a huge fan of Smashbox. They have the best eyeliner. Strange thing to have a strong opinion on - eyeliner - but I'm a girl and girls have strong opinions on everything we put on our faces.
Called the "classier IKEA" :) EQ3 has really interested choices for furniture. I almost always have a wonderful conversation with one of the sales people there because they are so friendly. Could be because they're working on commission, but that's neither here nor there. My favourite? The 50% off section! I was able to decorate my entire kitchen from this section. I've got lots of compliments on the glassware I bought from EQ3.
A sweet little theatre you literally descend into via the huge staircase. Tuesdays are cheap night, meaning you can finally afford popcorn. YES!

Bring a blanket. Find your own spot. Maybe sneak in some wine. It's true - you do forget that you're in Toronto for a moment. Pure earthy escapism.
Okay, so you COULD eat your weight in waffles, pancakes and crepes. It's an option. But they also have really great fruit platters and cottage cheese plates. Be careful going on a weekend morning - there's a line-up that goes around the block!
This tiny little restaurant has hands-down the best Shanghai Noodles. It's completely addictive, which is why I ultimately had to move out of that area :)
Smoked Apple Cheddar with organic Granny Smith apples. Also, the best peameal bacon I've ever had is at the meat shoppe you see on the right side as soon as you walk in the front entrance.
Well, I'm a bit biased I suppose. Although it just closed on January 6 after a seven month run, I have a feeling that Canada has not seen the last of this show! Trust me :)
Get it mild with Ranch dressing and you'll be one happy little Torontonian. The Richmond Rogue is my favourite pub - and they serve Sterling, which is great for me cause I like my beer to be like water :) Don't judge me. Other great food there? The Vegetarian wrap and the Chicken Quesadillas.
They are the only car rental place in Toronto with the cheapest under 25 rental rate. Only $10 extra a day, compared to other big name car rental places that charge $20 - $30 extra. I get it, I'm young and my age makes me more likely to crash a rental car, but come on!
1) Rehab and retread shampoo and conditioner. They saved my poor chemically damaged hair. Why did I dye my hair black? WHY?! Thank you, Lush, for helping me see the light.
This fantastic heritage seed company is all family owned, with a really cool website that makes online ordering really easy and really fun. Plus, they are all certified organic! Their selection of heirloom vegetables is my favourite - purple carrots, multi-coloured lettuce, HUGE tomatoes. You won't believe the varieties they have and boy, do they make a salad look incredible. Honestly, if you're going green, go to the Cottage Gardener.
