Official Launch of America Restaurant
Date: October 1th
Location: Trump Hotel, 31st Floor
Inspired by the opulence, luxury, and sex appeal of the five-star luxury Trump Hotel Toronto, the all-new America on the 31st floor officially opened its doors last night and you’re probably going to want to see what’s behind them. America doesn’t just offer elevated takes on regional American fare under the guidance of the culinary leadership at O&B and the Executive Chef at the Trump; they also provide the ultimate eatertainment experience as a stylish supper club on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, which includes live entertainment and the option for bottle service.

Russell Peters
Date: October 9th
Location: Air Canada Centre
“Somebody gonna get a hurt real bad.” With sales and attendance records under his belt in places like England and Australia, this Toronto boy is back to his hometown as part of his Almost Famous World Tour. And did you know that in 2007 he was the first stand-up comedian to ever sell out the ACC? Tickets are scarce, but if you can get your hands on them, you won’t be sorry. An amazing storyteller and perhaps the funniest accent impersonator out there, Russell Peters is one live comedy act you’ll never forget. Oh, and he likes to DJ in his spare time. So at the show’s after party at CUBE, he’s spinning a set. Might want to get tickets to that too.
Mill Street Brewery Presents Oktoberfest
Date: October 4th
Location: The Beer Hall
Hey, don’t say we didn’t warn you last week. The Oktoberfest parties are coming in hot and it’s barely even October. This week, the folks at Mill Street are throwing a great party at their spacious Beer Hall location in The Distillery. The evening kicks off at 6pm with a ceremonial tapping of the keg, and then for $25 bucks a head (or $200 for a table of 10) you’ll get live music, special Bavarian food stations, and your choice of over 20 beers on tap, including their seasonal Oktoberfest Ale. So pull up your lederhosen and get festin’. If for nothing else, it’s a great warm-up for Halloween.
