"Brickworks Ciderhouse": one of the new hot restaurants to open on Queen St. East in Toronto. They offer a cider flight and my favorite Brickworks burger!

"GB Hand Pulled Noodles" Toronto is a small Lanzhou-style restaurant. The noodles here form the base of all the main dishes and are pulled in front of you.

"Irish Design House" is the coziest of finds for men & women! It's a fabulous place to buy authentic cable knit sweaters. They come straight from Ireland!

"The Half House" in Toronto is literally just a row house whose half was sold off and demolished. The other half has been left there in good condition...

"The Dakota Tavern" is a live folk/bluegrass venue in Toronto that doubles as a dive bar. The basement bar really takes me back & everyone is welcome here.

"Après Wine Bar" in Toronto is a fairly new addition to West Queen West that specializes in natural wines. Lovely space, chill vibe, amazing wines!
