Baldwin Village a Toronto neighbourhood

Very happy to make space for our stroller!

Bar+ Karaoke is clean and stylish, the machines work, the drinks are reasonably priced and the machines work. Hooray! (They also sell munchies.) My new favourite karaoke spot.

I had a fantastic tortilla for lunch here. Say "yes" when asked if you want the special sauces. And be patient... all the food is cooked fresh, ad hoc, so this place is best if you're not in a rush. It's worth it.

This is a reasonable place to find shoes for kids. I had to do an exchange today and service was fast and friendly. They have a nice selection, too.

We were regulars here for years back when it was two crowded fluorescent rooms down a steep set of steps from streetlevel. It was cozy and could only be found by those who knew it was there. The dumplings are all handmade, steamed or boiled, with various meats or vegetarian. Handmade noodles with beef so homey I could cry with nostalgia. House-made kimchi and green onion pancakes also favourites. But since they moved to Spadina (s. of College), well, it just hasn't been the same. I'm sure the food tastes the same, but, well, the atmosphere is half the reason we went so frequently. Their dining room is much bigger, much airier, filled with far more students and tourists. C'est la vie. show more

First place I go if I need travel guides or travel reading. I've also been able to sell books, DVDs, and VHS tapes in the past. They don't take everything, but it's always worth a shot.

Favourite is the e-fu noodles with mushrooms and other veggies. The plate they give you is enough to feed four people, and it's only $7. Delicious and fast. Very stark and fluorescent ambiance which doesn't invite lingering.
