Garden District

Kindred Cafe

7 Breadalbane St

BMV Books

10 Edward St

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. show more

Senator Restaurant

249 Victoria St

Huevos rancheros at brunch with real corn bread. Fruit with yogurt and granola is enormous. At dinner time, come around 7:50pm and the place will clear out when everyone goes to a show or concert (Canon Theatre is across the street, Massey Hall is down the block). show more

TDSB Parenting and Family Literacy Centre

This Ain't the Rosedale Library

A great little bookstore with all kinds of interesting and alternative books. It reminds me a bit of pages - but this location in Kensington is much smaller. When your in the mood for browsing books I would highly recommend it. show more

Buddies In Bad Times Theatre

12 Alexander St

Hairy Tarantula Games & Comics

354 Yonge St

Hairy T is a gaming and comics landmark in the Yonge/Dundas area. The staff are knowledgeable, interesting, and helpful, the regular shoppers are pleasant, and the stock, from rare comics to the latest manga, is plentiful. This is the type of gaming & comic store worth visiting, even if it means hours and hours on GO and TTC. show more

Eliot's Bookshop

584 Yonge St

Guu

398 Church St

Guu Izakaya is a noisy, crazy, tons of fun experience! Why pay over a thousand dollars to fly to Japan when you can open the doors to Guu and enter another world? Be prepared for an experience like no other -- when the doors open, you'll be welcomed by Japanese voices welcoming you in a language you won't understand. It'll take about 10 minutes for your years to adjust to the noise, but then, you'll fall in love! Everything on the menu is delicious, the sushi is fresh, and the sake is the GOOD STUFF! I heart Guu. show more

Omi Japanese Restaurant

243 Carlton St

This place is so good it will make you fall out of your seat. It has to be the best / freshest sushi in town! The atmostphere rocks and it's a really great find!

Red Rocket Coffee

154 Wellesley St E

Nice enough place, but the staff have attitude. Tried to explain what a flat white should be and he got insulted when he made my coffee not to the way I liked it. I'm too old to tolerate bad service. I wouldn't recommend this place. show more
