raygirl60 — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:42:09 GMT

raygirl60's fave cheap salad is at Wendy's Restaurant because 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.

raygirl60 — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:37:39 GMT

raygirl60's fave drug store is at shoppers drug mart because 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.

raygirl60 — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 11:16:07 GMT

raygirl60's fave Beach is at Grand Bend because 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.

raygirl60's fave Niagara Falls is at Niagara Falls

raygirl60 — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 11:12:25 GMT

raygirl60's fave Niagara Falls is at Niagara Falls because 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.

raygirl60's fave Public Garden is at Spadina House

raygirl60 — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 10:51:44 GMT

raygirl60's fave Public Garden is at Spadina House because 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.

raygirl60 — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 16:50:20 GMT

raygirl60's fave summer festival is at The Toronto Fringe Festival because 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.

raygirl60 — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 16:46:41 GMT

raygirl60 — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 16:34:05 GMT

raygirl60's fave Hair Salon is at Capri

raygirl60 — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 16:25:13 GMT

raygirl60's fave Hair Salon is at Capri because 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 :)

raygirl60 — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 16:14:10 GMT

raygirl60's fave Pizza is at Pizza Pizza because 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.

raygirl60's fave Makeup is at Sephora

raygirl60 — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 16:11:01 GMT

raygirl60's fave Makeup is at Sephora because 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.

raygirl60's fave Furniture Store is at EQ3

raygirl60 — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 15:59:34 GMT

raygirl60's fave Furniture Store is at EQ3 because 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.

raygirl60 — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 13:11:59 GMT

raygirl60 — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 13:07:56 GMT

raygirl60's fave Breakfast for Two is at Cora's Breakfast & Lunch

raygirl60 — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 13:04:34 GMT

raygirl60's fave Breakfast for Two is at Cora's Breakfast & Lunch because 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!

raygirl60's fave Shanghai Noodles with Chicken is at Rice & Noodle

raygirl60 — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 13:01:04 GMT

raygirl60's fave Shanghai Noodles with Chicken is at Rice & Noodle because 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 :)

raygirl60's fave The St. Lawrence Market is at St. Lawrence Market

raygirl60 — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 13:00:29 GMT

raygirl60's fave The St. Lawrence Market is at St. Lawrence Market because 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.

raygirl60 — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 13:00:04 GMT

raygirl60's fave Funny Business - The Musical is at The Diesel Playhouse because 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 :)

raygirl60's fave Buffalo Chicken Salad is at The Richmond Rogue

raygirl60 — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 12:58:45 GMT

raygirl60's fave Buffalo Chicken Salad is at The Richmond Rogue because 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.
