The Weekly Warm Up: April 11th – 20th

Heading into mid-April exam season and I am saddened to report that I will most likely be spending my week with sweatpants, books and extra large coffees. As such, exploring the host of great events on offer next week is something I expect you to do in my honour! Let me live vicariously through you and give some of these a try:

The Culinary Wizardry of Oz – Ossington Food Tour – April 12th & 20th – 3:30-7:30

Toronto’s Ossington strip is quickly becoming the city’s most epicure-friendly area, boasting over 26 restaurants in little over a quarter mile. From beer halls to fine restaurants, the Ossington food tour explores three different venues each week and serves up whatever wonderful and diverse experiences the trendy strip has to offer.

FKA Twigs @ Wrongbar – April 14th

Great music at a great venue. Need I say more? I will anyways. In the same vein of new wave R&B as the British artist Sampha (who can be heard crooning dulcet background vocals on Drake’s latest record), FKA Twigs is soulful, experimental and original and will be performing at Wrongbar this Monday.

Beerworking: Presented by Wellington Brewery- April 16th

An opportunity to meet new people and try great beer, Beerworking is a unique event that fuses a fun social atmosphere with an opportunity to learn more about the hoppy beverage we love. The ticket price covers your drinks and the cab you’ll take home (via the amazing and user-friendly Uber app), as well as a priceless opportunity to bond with fellow beer lovers.
