Re: Fave jogging route at Greenbelt trail

So good to know about this! I'm training for the Boston Marathon now, and always running. The more areas/routes to explore the better!

Hey there! Great faves so far. Enjoy the site! I too have "faved" Banjara, but the one on Bloor. And Greg's is totally awesome to be sure (I once had a banana bread/walnut one there that was pretty stand-out, and I know that marshmallow is pretty one-of-a-kind), but seriously, try the Mapleton's Dairy ice cream they have at the Film Buff before you make your mind up. Hard to beat.

chocolate shop

Fave it!

Suite 88
3957 rue Saint-Denis, Montreal

Slick adorable design. They have lots of offer (truffles, bueatifully designed mosaics, gelato...) but the basic chocolate bars are outstanding! Simple, good chocolate and everything from plain old chocolate to bars infused with sea salt (the BEST!), ginger, earl grey tea, jalapeno, lemon... the list goes on. Yummers.

Scratch Gallery & Espresso Bar
1358 Bathurst Street, Toronto

Perfect little indepedent shop in an neighbourhood that is growing and begging for creativity! Opened in May 2008, Scratch makes great coffee and treats. Tea bags and coffee beans for sale, too. Cool stone banquet table with sun pouring in the front window in the morning. Friendly staff. And... The walls and cabinets are adorned with local arts and crafts... paintings, collages, jewellery, shirts, knits ... all for sale, too. Support this inspiring local shop!

Frangipane Patisserie

Tiny and adorable with a GORGEOUS display of treats to choose from. Grab an espresso and a croissant to go, or order your wedding cake or a beautiful tart for a dinner party. Yummy sweets (chocolates, tarts, cakes) and a few savory options, too. Pick up a single serving for you or full size tart or cake to share. Gluten-free options available. Check out the website for photos of their work.

Nella Cucina

I organised a great night out for a private corporate team building cooking experience. It was a really fun evening, the teacher and helpers were great, and the meal was amazing! They were really good sports and the atmosphere is really simple, but clean and inspiring. I would go again for a regular open class.

Sonic Boom
512 Bloor St. West, Toronto

At Sonic Boom it's about the thrill of the hunt! Vinyl, CDs, DVDs, cassettes,... plus video games, and (if they have any come in...) beta, laser discs... you name it. The used selection is HUGE (some organised, some not, so grab a coffee and spend an hour browsing!) and they also keep a great selection of new (i.e. un-used) classics and new releases in every medium. Watch for in-store mini-concerts, too!

Noon
1088 Bathurst Street, Toronto

UPDATE: Sadly, Noon is no longer open. / Simple charming homey decor, with big windows to allow the sun to pour in. More importantly, delicious food for breakfast OR lunch! Build your own omelettes and sandwiches are brilliant! My hubby LOVES the pulled pork n beans. Soups are always fresh and yummy. Organic ingredients and serving of products (bread, meats, desserts) from other local shops are a really smart and confidence-inducing choice on the part of the chef.

Taste of Thai House
62 Vaughan Road, Toronto

My hubby and I have been eating here for over two years. It's our "local" Thai place (not really down town), but we've not found another one in the whole city that we like as much. Yes - not even Salad King! Everything is fresh and flavourful, and the meats are good quality (not squeaky, or mushy or creepy, like some places). The Fried Garlic & Pepper tofu is to DIE for! We've had only one dish we didn't really love (the Pad Thai), everything else has been great.

Claire Reyes Calligraphy

Claire's attention to detail is outstanding! She has developed her own hand-written fonts and creates delicate, simple, classic pieces. Good for weddings (invitations, seating cards, etc.), or any occasion. Beautiful! check out her website: www.clairereyes.com

Natrel Rink at Harbourfront
235 Queens Quay W, Toronto

Best because: the size, the music, the open sky. My husband and I fell in love skating on this rink. The trip down to the waterfront carrying skates on the streetcar always gets me excited like a little kid. What I would change: a few less fast-skating dangerous jerks would be nice.

Massimo Pizza & Pasta
302 College, Toronto

The Margherita slice is to die for. My favourite late-night walking and eating slice... super greasy (and therefore super yummy), so get extra napkins.
