Your faves are so amazing. I love the rooftop at 401 - a real hidden gem in the city.

Re: Fave Veggie burger at Fresh By Juice For Life

Have you also tried Craft Burger - they make good gourmet veggie burgers too!

Bakery

Fave it!

COBS Bread
Multiple Locations, Toronto

Whenever I visit Cob's Bakery, I always leave in a good mood. The staff here are really friendly and seem to genuinely take pride in their products, making suggestions and offering samples all the time. And the baked goods are so tasty! The plain croissants, my favourite, are soft and buttery, and even a simple multigrain bun is surprisingly good -- I ate it with no butter or filling, and savoured every bite. I hope they open more locations, as there are only two in Toronto so far!

Caffe Demetre
Multiple Locations

This place has great modern decor, an extensive, witty menu that punsters would die for (try the 'Split Personality' banana split!), and the most indulgent desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth. Sundaes, smoothies, crepes and specialty coffees -- this only begins to describe the various choices this place has to offer! 'Indulgent' really is the key word here.

Fave it!

Adrenaline
239 Queen St. West, Toronto

Live lingerie models at Misbehav'n be damned - at the Adrenaline tattoo parlour, they put their customers in the windows instead. Passersby, feel free to watch as brave souls have their skin stained. Lingerie may come and go, but tattoos are forever (or at least really expensive and painful to cover up).

Silver Snail Comics
367 Queen St. West, Toronto

Whether it's Indiana Jones, Princess Leia or Hellboy, the Silver Snail always has the most impressive window displays with life-size statues and elaborate backgrounds. I hope they're paying a pretty penny to the guy who designs their displays!

Fresh By Juice For Life
Multiple Locations

The thai burger, my burger of choice, is made from tofu and veggies, and dressed with fresh lettuce, bean sprouts, various other veggies and a thai peanut sauce that is TO DIE FOR. You can also get the peanut sauce when you order a side of fries, which would probably be equally delicious. Be warned, though, Fresh is not for those on a budget... burgers go for $9.

Lettuce Eatery
Multiple Locations

This place has great, healthy, affordable options! Get a salad ($5.95) or a salad wrap ($4.95), and choose all of your options from a checklist on a handy-dandy little clipboard while you wait in line. My favourite is a custom salad wrap with iceberg lettuce, tofu, chick peas, diced tomatoes, mandarin oranges and raisins - and sundried tomato dressing! Just hold on tight, it can get messy!

Dub Linn Gate Irish Pub

This Irish pub has a beautiful, authentic-looking interior design, with wooden panelling, chandelier lighting and little touches to remind you of Ireland – not to mention the waitresses wear a kilt as part of their uniform! The brie and apple chicken sandwich is fantastic, and their tasty fries or Irishmen’s bread alone make it worth the visit. I’m reluctant to even fave this place, because I don’t want my favourite pub to become overrun! 50 Interchange Way, Vaughan (near the AMC theatre)

Eliot's Bookshop
584 Yonge, Toronto

Three floors packed with books, books, books at prices marked down so low I can hardly bear to leave without getting something. The old-fashioned wooden shelves and early editions of classic literature are an English major’s dream come true! (They have cheap popular novels too.) They even have those sliding ladders you can climb to reach the top shelves, like Audrey Hepburn does in Funny Face. Plus, the staff is always helpful, with a good sense of humour.

Buskerfest

Happening this year August 21-24 at St. Lawrence Market, Buskerfest will make you feel like you've fallen down the rabbit hole! All four days, Front St. from Jarvis to Yonge will be overrun by street musicians, contortionists, clowns, magicians and artists of all kinds. Plus, this year, proceeds from selected performances will go to Epilepsy Toronto.

daytrip

Toronto Islands
Toronto

A day spent walking or biking around the islands is a great mini-vacation! Enjoy the spectacular view of the cityscape during the short ferry ride there. Then, bring a homemade picnic to enjoy on the lush grass as ridiculously carefree people around you play ultimate frisbee. Alternately, enjoy a carefree game of ultimate frisbee while others enjoy a picnic on the lush grass! And don't forget to visit the donkey and geese at Centre Island.
