You flunked math? Cha, dude, way harsh. PSYCH! Summer school is the place to be this year thanks to The Drake Hotel!
Dining Roadshow: A pop-up Restaurant
Your high school cafeteria never tasted so good.
Not only does this new take on the Drake’s dining room involve a delicious cafeteria-inspired menu (foot-long veal cheese dogs, anyone?), but it takes dining experience to a new level, with announcements from the principal (BYOSpitballs), glee club performances, and wine served in beakers stolen from science class. (Damn, why did we never think of that?)
Lemonade Stand on the Sky Yard
Oh man, remember when you would babysit kids hosting a lemonade stand, which basically meant you got to tan all day while kind elderly neighbours chatted with your charges? The Drake’s version is equally appealing: Lavender lemonade, lemon beer, and pop rocks. MMMMM!
Band Practice
A collection of musicians will come together on the last Sunday of every month, drawing group names from a hat and staging a battle of the bands (sans the lime-green UNDERAGE bracelet of your youth). The winning band gets a cash prize of $500. 9 pm, free.
Summer School Speaker Series: June 30th, July 28th, and August 5th
Free lectures to stimulate your brain in between lying out and shitty Saturday morning cartoons. Stay tuned for speaker announcements.
It’s all going down at The Drake, 1150 Queen St. W.
