When I visit family in Toronto, I often find myself visiting the Bayview Village Shopping Centre…read morewhether it is meeting family for a coffee and snack and then walk around the centre, stopping by some of the retail spaces for shopping, or making a reservation for a sit-down restaurant. On my most recent visit to Toronto, my family and I visited the Bayview Village and had dinner at a restaurant where we made a reservation in advance. There's something for everyone and plenty to see and do, and I appreciate the renovations that have been done over the years. Bayview Village is known for some great restaurants and shops. In fact, there are many different options from upscale and casual restaurants to coffee and grocery stores. My favorites include Italian food at Il Fornello to shopping at Lindt and LCBO to casual like Aroma. You can find all 19 options at https://bayviewvillage.ca/shop/dine. There are also plenty of shops from upscale shops to more casual ones. You can find all 47 retail options at https://bayviewvillage.ca/shop/retail. Find exclusive offers from stores at https://bayviewvillage.ca/whats-on/?promotions. There are also fifteen different wellness options from dentists, hairstylists, spas, drug stores, and more (https://bayviewvillage.ca/shop/wellness) and thirteen different services from tailoring to financial planning to travel services, and more (https://bayviewvillage.ca/shop/services) There are also special events that take place (https://bayviewvillage.ca/whats-on/?events) at Bayview Village. While stores and restaurant hours may vary, the hours are typically weekdays from 10 AM to 8 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM, and Sunday from 12 Noon to 5 PM. There is plenty of free parking around the entire mall. You can read more about the Bayview Village at https://bayviewvillage.ca including a place you can sign up to be "in the know." I certainly plan to return again on my next Toronto visit!

I don't frequent it as much as I should. I first came here with a friend roughly two decades ago to eat at All Star Wings. It's still alive and kicking. I will always have a soft spot for this eatery and ordering way too many wing flavours. We often boxed everything we couldn't finish up. There have been many Hong Kong-style eateries next to this wing place that have come and gone over the years. Sadly, one of these eateries had silver needle noodles that you don't see often on the menu. They were so good! I don't frequent the T&T Supermarket these days. It was a madhouse the few times that I did. It's the perfect storm of crazy shoppers who can't park for beans. The supermarket itself is decent. I live closer to the two T&T stores on Warden and Kennedy. This one is the third-closest one to my home. There is a Wellwise Home Health & Wellness store. It used to be under the Shoppers Drug Mart brand, but it got acquired by Verillium Health Care. It has served my family well over the years. I have got everything from washable bed pads to a wrist brace. Staff are helpful, especially when I didn't know much about these products! I like the Chatime-Bakecode store. I get my bubble tea and croissant fixes all under one roof. It's probably my favourite store at this plaza. I just noticed a Mr Sub. I will need to check it out someday. Same goes with the original Hana Don. I have been to the one at CF Fairview Mall. I need to drop by this one. Yesterday, I visited SportChek for the first time. I liked the merchandise. Customer service was excellent. There's a Tim Hortons here, too. It's got a drive-thru. It's another reason why this plaza gets busy. I like Cachet Centre, minus the craziness in front of T&T. Every time I'm here, I notice a business that I need to check out, which shows a lot of growth here. (226)

It's been many years since we've been in the Promenade, and it probably wouldn't be a surprise that we barely recognized it as a lot has changed. We stopped by in the early afternoon on a Friday. My sister and I met my cousin at Tim Hortons in the food court. While my cousin and I both enjoyed a beverage and a donut at Tim Hortons, my sister instead opted for Yogenfruz. My sister later had lunch at Sushi-Q while I chose Feta & Olives. We were surprised a number of the food vendors were closed on a weekday afternoon. We then stopped in Roots, Dollarama, and Olive Branch. There were certainly a variety of different vendors, and it was fun to learn there was now a pickleball place in the Promenade. The Promenade has a Guest Services team that staff the counter located at the Bathurst Street Main Entrance. The mall also offers free Wi-Fi, complimentary wheel chairs, access to SmarteCarte Self-Serve strollers, and family parking options at each of their main entrances with parking options for expectant mothers and parents with young children. The hours at the mall are Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 8 PM and Saturday through Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM. There are holiday hours published for Black Friday, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. The Promenade also has special events like free treats on Halloween (this Friday), the Haunted Carnevil from Halloween for three days, and an Autism fundraising night at the St. Louis Bar & Grill throughout half of October and November.

Here's the question that I have been facing at work. We have a document with New in its title. Is it really new when this document has existed for a few years? I feel the same way about New Century Plaza. When you visit it, it's like the century look and feel dominate more than new. It is an older plaza. What I noticed is that there are a lot of stores selling Chinese herbs and medicine. I'd imagine that 80% of the stores that I had passed by were herbal ones. Besides the restaurant, across from it was a bookstore. It was a nice change. Before we left, we can across a chicken stand. The chicken looked weird and shredded. I made a comment about it, which made my friends laugh hard. It looked like mystery meat to me. Parking was a bit crazy on a Thursday at around 1 pm. I did manage to find a parking spot. It was much better when we left at 3 pm. I don't drop by this place often, but it's worth it for New Century Restaurant, which has fabulous dim sum. If you do need a herbal shop, you've got a ton of variety at this plaza. (114)

New Century Plaza is an older, dated mall that has been around since the 1980's.  The most vibrant…read moretenant here is the New Century restaurant in which we had a delightful dim sum.  The restaurant itself was vibrant but afterwards we putzed around in the smallish indoor mall here and it was pretty dead on a weekday morning.  The tenants and shoppers are naturally part of the older generation and there are numerous shops for items like ginseng and other dry goods. There was also one big florist and a bookstore.  The demographics makes sense as the youngsters have moved on to the shiny newer malls.   Something makes me think this place can still get busy on the weekends though because there are still a lot of Chinese up here that use these products and everything else for that matter!
