I came to Yorkgate Mall two Saturdays ago to pick up dinner at China Wok Super Chinese Food. Due to…read morethe pandemic and my comfort level being in malls, I didn't walk the entire place. The mall is an older one. There is lots of construction happening outside, which can be a bit challenging when entering and exiting the parking lot. It was pretty busy traffic-wise along Finch Avenue West when I pulled in. This mall is at Jane and Finch. It has a bad rap for being a rough area. However, it felt pretty safe when I was here. Things seem to have changed. I entered from what I believe is one of the two mall entrances. This one was closest to Finch Avenue West. I walked up a flight of stairs to get to the food court. The chairs and tables have been removed, but the light coming through the glass was nice. Only Caribbean Cuisine and China Wok were open when I got there at 5:30 pm. The top floor across from the food court has Seneca College, Ziwa Cell Phone and Computers, and Shiv's Jewellery. When I entered the mall from the main level, Tim Hortons was buzzing with business. The York Woods public library is further down, but has been closed during this pandemic. This mall does have businesses that interest me. There's an LCBO, No Frills, Dollarama, Harvey's, and Bulk Food Mart. I'd like to return when I'm ready to shop and check them out. It's a good mall for my needs. If I were a local, I'd be content with the store selection at this mall. There was plenty of parking. (117)

York Lanes is a small shopping mall at York University. If you are living on campus and don't feel…read morelike heading off-campus, it's a decent walk over. It has been there for eons. It has changed quite a bit since I was an undergraduate student, but feels the same. Although shops have come and gone, the York University Bookstore remains a staple. It was unfortunately closed when I was there for CRAM learning sessions at night. I like that there is a decent Shoppers Drug Mart now. I often had to visit one off-campus to get munchies, cold medication, and frankly hang out because everything was closed after my night classes had ended. At 10:30 pm, Second Cup and a few eateries were still alive and kicking. After admiring all the York University-branded sweatshirts, t-shirts, water bottles, and more, I need to come back and get something. I don't have much gear as an alumna! There is a decent parking lot on Vanier Lane where you can park your car. It's $8 if you park after 6 pm on weeknights and is good until 6 am the following day. It's cheaper on weekend with flat rates. You pay at one of the most sophisticated parking machines I have ever used. It accepts coins, credit and debit cards, bank cards, and YU-Card if you are a student. Yes! I used my bank card and the transaction was seamless. There is a walkway between this parking lot and York Lanes. The parking lot ismonitored, which is positive and reassuring. I had no problems here, as I spent nearly four hours on campus. I will return to get my York U. gear. It felt the same being here, even with the change in stores and look. (123)

(This review was written on 2023-05-11 but couldn't be posted until Yelp approved "Union Market" on…read more2023-06-05!) Toronto's Union Station has expanded in the past 10 years. They now have zones called neighbourhoods. The newest neighbourhood is called Union Market, which opened 2023-05-09. This neighbourhood is made up of many stalls with many different vendors. Every stall is very modern. There are a few permanent vendors and 2 pop-ups on opening day. A few other vendors will open soon. There are a few lounging stalls with tables and chairs. There is even a sub-neighbourhood called Union Fresh Market! Union Market is not easy to find because it is tucked away when coming from the Union Station Subway Station. I had to ask some other vendors to point the way for me. There is "The PATH" that runs through the middle. The current stalls are south of The PATH. The stalls north of The PATH will open Sep 2023. It seems obvious to me I haven't explored Union Station since at least 2018 since I didn't know they extended The PATH into Union Station! The current vendors are: - The Alley - Patties Express - Chocollata Gourmet Brigadeiros - My Olive - Lena's Floral Design - Manotas Organics (not open yet) - Gemlet (pop-up) - Virtue Vintage (pop-up) I spoke to the staff/owners at each stall except for The Alley because they were constantly busy while I was there 16:15 to 19:30. I'm excited for Union Station. They made a modern Union Food Court many years ago, then they opened the Union Foodie Aisle in 2022, and now Union Market in.2023. The place is wheelchair accessible. There are washrooms nearby but not in Union Market. There is very little paid neighbourhood street parking, but there are paid parking lots. Review 2023-127

I wanted to see if the "Structube" at this location had better inventory, and shop at Dollarama, Canadian Tire, and HomeSense. The aisles are very wide, so plenty of room for social distancing!

There is also a Tim Horton's and Service Canada. Cute little plaza if you're in the area.

I stumbled across Eastgate Square by accident. My original goal was to visit a Shoppers Drug Mart…read moreto get a few essentials. I didn't realize until I got to the drug store that this closest one to my hotel was a part of a shopping mall. I don't visit malls all that often these days because they are a death trap as far as time and spending go. I am a shopper at heart and can spent hours at one. It was exactly what I did last weekend. From the outside, you can certainly tell which part was the original mall and which wing is relatively new. I looked at the new wing and it looked like it was detached from the mall. Nope, you can walk every part of it indoors without freezing outside in the wintertime. The store has a good selection of stores. It has many of my favourites, such as Winners, Kitchen Stuff Plus, Showcase, DAVIDs Tea, SoftMoc, Showcase, and Shoppers Drug Mart. There are plenty of places to sit down if you are too pooped to shop. The target shopper seems to be folks 60 years of age and higher, which could explain all the places for folks to sit down, chat with friends, and enjoy a beverage. Although I'm not in that demographic, it sounds pretty good to me! Signs are clearly displayed to help guide you around the mall. There is free wifi if you do need to connect online. There is a food court. I didn't eat there, but there are many options to choose from. And, yes, there's a Timmy's to get your double-double fix on. I had lunch at Sunset Grill on my final day in Hamilton. It was Family Day and this mall was closed. However, Sunset Grill has its own entrance at this mall, so I was happy to have lunch here. I used one of the women's washrooms at this mall last Saturday. It was clean and maintained frequently. It's a good mall if you want something smaller than Lime Ridge Mall, but has pretty much everything you need. I'd return to shop here again. (76)
