17 August 20265 Mins Read

It’s another thrilling week in the city, and there are tons of things to do in Toronto. We’re so stoked for all the fun that’s to come. That means more outdoor adventures, patio outings with friends, and an intoxicating city vibe.

Possibly one of the best Happy Hour deals in Toronto. Make your way to The Drake for $13 cocktails and 30 per cent off select menu items. You can enjoy this deal at its four spaces: the Sky Yard rooftop, the Cafe Patio, the Lounge, and the Modern Wing Lobby Bar.

See me there with a Hugo Spritz and $7 hand-cut fries.

A pink double-decker bus will be rolling through the streets of Toronto, bringing in Canada’s first afternoon tea experience served in motion.

Though we’ve seen our fair share of jaw-dropping, questionable, and even shocking scenes in the city, there’s nothing quite like High Sociétéa.

It’s huge, it’s pink, and it’s moving. This double-decker experience offers a curated city tour, live violin, and a theatrical onboard experience under a panoramic glass roof with 180-degree city views.

We’re talking Chotto Caesar Salad, Truffled Yuca Fries, Chotto Matte’s signature Dragon Roll, and the choice between three martini favourites: Dirty Nikkei Martini, Lychee Lover Martini, or classic Espresso Martini.

When: Thursdays to Saturdays
Time: 6 p.m. to late

The iconic One Piece pop-up store is back this summer at Mississauga’s Square One.

When: Until Sept. 13, 2026
