It’s National Sandwich Day, people, and to honour such an important event, it’s fitting to give shout-outs to some of the best places in the city to celebrate. And though I have yet to find a sandwich as good as the Assorted Cold Cut Sub from the DeRosa Bakery (549 Wilson St.) in Hamilton, Toronto…

hanoi 3 seasons – 1135 Queen St E – (416) 469-3010
This being the last day in May, it seems fitting to comment on my favourite dining experience (in Toronto) of the month. I didn’t really know that there was a distinction between Northern and Southern Vietnamese food until I visited hanoi 3 seasons. This place is the stuff of legend… past, present and future. I had been reading that hanoi…
Gale’s Snack Bar – 539 Eastern Ave – (416) 364-1300
I have been hearing a lot of buzz these days about the cheap-eats at Gale’s Snack Bar. Seeing that it’s walking distance from work, I decided to check it out recently. Living in the East End of the city for a good percentage of my life, I always saw this place but didn’t really give it much thought. I’m…
Leslie Jones – 1182 Queen St E – (416) 463-5663
Arriving to a great cocktail menu and a Neil Young album playing (there’s a painting of him above the bar), I liked Leslie Jones right off the hop. The fact that they could accommodate a group of 10 on a busy Saturday night made us all feel welcome. I get the feeling that this eclectic little place is busy all the…
Joy Bistro – 884 Queen Street East – (416) 465-8855
Lookout, Queen Street East bars with decent happy hours… Joy Bistro, with its 2 patios (one with a full menu and the other with a tapas lounge), has established itself as the after-work go-to for many an eastender. And for good reason… From 5pm until 7pm daily it’s only $2.50 for bar rail, domestic bottles…
Jim’s Restaurant – 897 Queen Street East – (416) 463-6535
In the ever-evolving landscape of Leslieville lies a greasy spoon that has been around forever. Jim’s Restaurant has the self-proclaimed “Best Westerns” in the city… one of the many reasons why this place is here to stay. Their Western Sandwich ($3.99) is indeed outstanding. Made with three eggs, it appears on about half of the patrons…
