Flowers and Furniture Meet in Parkdale
Despite a prior dislike of florists, my visit to Coriander Girl has got me thinking that they're not all bad. Well, maybe. I'm still not quite sure if it's accurate to label this store as a florist. Along with the flowers -- which I must say are anything but cliche -- owner Alison Westlake sells furniture and pretty much anything else she deems worthy.Read my review of Coriander Girl in the design store section.

A Late Night Indian Feast in Parkdale
Since Poutini's raised the game for late-night alcohol mopping on West Queen West earlier in the year, Parkdale has seemed like a desert of pizza to the stumbling pedestrian. Taste of Tandoree changes that with traditional Indian food, served canteen style and prices that have the right kind of inverse relationship to the portions. Plus, it's open until the subway starts up again.See my review of Taste of Tandooree in the restaurants section.
