FAT kicked off the exciting week of alternative Fashion and Arts in Toronto at the Drake Lab with exhibitions by artists such as Andrew Owen. Drake Lab is a small cozy venue which quickly got packed with fans of FAT until the after party at the trendy, new bar, Church Apertivo.

Last night was the kick-off of the series of Friday Nights Live @ROM (The Royal Ontario Museum, of course) with a different theme each week featuring DJs, pop-up food and bars.
The opening event was as-advertised and as good as it sounded, with the most appealing aspect being the beautiful, unique venue for those who are tired of the same bar/clubbing/lounge scene. The only way it could be better is if it was open until 2am. However, closing the bars at 10:30pm means it’s not an alternative to the club scene, rather just an alternative to pre-drinking for those who are active in the club scene.
On the opening night we were glad to see our friends at Fidel Gastro and we were lucky enough to snag one of their last famous gourmet sandwiches before they sold out that night. The entertainment was solid as provided by Simon Jain featuring DJ Wayne Wunder.
Be sure to check out the upcoming Friday nights at the ROM. It’s definitely worth a visit! See you at the next one!
“Friday Night Live @ROM is an opportunity for Toronto’s young adults to experience the Museum in a way that speaks to them,” says Janet Carding, Director and CEO, Royal Ontario Museum. “Modeled after similar events in museums and galleries across the United States and Europe, we look forward to providing a new and exciting way to be a part of the ROM.”
Elle Canada and Intermix store at 130 Bloor Street West hosted a fun shopping event with Editor-in-Chief Noreen Flanagan. The large variety of desserts were deliciously decadent. The aromachology booth was really fun allowing you to create your own personalized scent to take home.
Thanks Elle and Intermix for hosting a fun shopping event!
On April 17th, we were treated to 2 choices of signature Perrier cocktails at the trendy, newish Bloke and 4th at King West. Cocktail No. 01 (Tangerine Mojito) was Bacardi rum-based and featured a whole, peeled tangerine dipped in liquid nitrogen. Cocktail No. 07 (Blood-Orange Vodka) a Grey Goose Vodka based drink with blood-orange juice and generous amounts of rosemary. The tangerine mojito was most refreshing especially with the thawing tangerine at the bottom.
The hors d’oeurves were plentiful and delicious. We were especially delighted with the seasoned rack of lamb and tiger shrimp treats. The amazing staff at Perrier and Bloke and 4th were friendly and courteous. With the food, drink, live music and atmosphere all on point, we were satisfied with this sleeper of an event.

Last week the Stirling Room in the Distillery District hosted an open house gala event to showcase their cocktails created by The Martini Club and a select few caterers featuring delicious treats such as gazpacho, oysters, fried chicken on waffles and cupcakes.
The Star Martini was our favourite cocktail of the night for the right amount of sweetness but some guests preferred the more bitter Blueberry Collins. Overall it was a fantastic night that met our expectations with entertainment from DJ Agile and Sahab Habibi of Bongo & B Entertainment.
