The best Mexican food I've found in Toronto. People will tell you to go to Sneaky Dee's. They are lying to you and you should be mad at them. The pupusas are incredible. It's cash only but they have an ATM!

A Toronto staple, Vesta lunch has been serving people greasy spoon meals for years! It's a classic diner, with a counter-only dining experience.

THIS PLACE. YUM! It's a super cool vegan pizzeria run by an incredibly cool woman. Try the Big Mac pizza. It's vegan but you will not be disappointed. Grab a slice and go eat in the park!

This place has amazing food, and is open super late! I'm not above getting an order of hot, sweet and sour dumplings at 2am or noon! They're delicious any time!

YOU NEED TO EAT BRUNCH HERE. The potatoes will drive you wild. I don't know what they put in that sauce but I crave it constantly. They have lovely dinner and drinks as well, but the brunch is why I go! Those curry rice patties for the eggs benedict will leave you drooling.

Arts & Culture

This is my home away from home. If you love to laugh, or just want to grab a drink, this place has the nicest staff, and hilarious comedy shows most nights of the week. Half of my clothes have their logo on it - I love it that much! I work here sometimes too so I can try and hook you up with a deal!

If you want to see stand up or sketch comedy, this is the place to be! They often have celebrity guests show up and any night of the week you can guarantee to catch a fun show here. My recommendation: Fridays at 8pm is Catch 23. Some of the top talent in the city take the stage in an improv show down.

Parks & Nature

It's not super naturey, but it's a great place to sit on the grass, watch a baseball game or toss a frisbee around. There's ice cream right across the street and it's a lovely place to be on an any-time-but-winter day. In winter, grab a sled and slide down those hills!

Park! Beach! Rides! Water! The Islands are the perfect getaway from the city, just a small trip from the city. Take the ferry over to any of the docks and you'll find something to enjoy. Ward's Island has a bunch of small cottage-like homes and a few cafes, Center Island has it's own small amusement park - Centerville, and Hanlan's Point has Toronto's only clothing-optional beach!
