Everyone has a favourite city haunt, a little known gem theyd rather
keep a secret. But were a friendly lot, so well share a few. Just dont
tell anyone.

head a few doors down for retro cartoon screenings at the revamped Projection
Booth cinema. Tickets $8, 10 am Saturdays and Sundays, Projection

The leaves for the hand rolled cigars at Frank
Correnti Cigars Ltd. are imported directly from Cuba (exclusively).
The space is gorgeous, and clients can make custom blends. Simply the
sexiest table gift for weddings. Frank Correnti Cigars Ltd., 606 King
St. W., 416-504-4108, www.correnticigars.com

I love the random selection of sweet stationery and children’s exercise
books (think handwriting practice) at the Sun Wa Bookstore. Sun Wa
Bookstore, 280 Spadina Ave. (at Dundas). Julie Whelan
The Common is a cute coffee shop by day, and at night, the perfect
dimly-lit spot to indulge in prosecco and share a charcuterie plate.
Cash only. The Common, 1071 College St., 416-546-7789. Julie Whelan
Shes quite expensive, and doesnt always deliver on time, but the
alterations Christine Hartmann does are superb. No task is too daunting
for this trained couturier. Christine Hartmann Couturier, 221 Ave. Rd.,
