Attending the Toronto Film Festival? Visiting Toronto? Well if you want to know where the stars will dine and party while in town your in luck because I’ve got the low down.
There’s going to be some Festival soirees at these fabulous locations:
Sassafraz – 100 Cumberland st at Bellair. This fantastic restaurant burned to the ground in December, but it’s been rebuilt and is said to be better than ever – just in time for the Toronto Film Festival.
One- 118 Yorkville Ave, at Hazelton – There will be several private parties at this new hot spot. One is definitely a place to keep an eye on.
Brasserie – 162 Cumberland at Avenue Rd – a great place to sit on the patio. Apparently Brad Pitts been seen slipping over to the patio, perhaps for a smoke since it’s said to be the closest bar to the Four Seasons Hotel that permits smoking on it’s premises. Yes Toronto’s a tough town for smokers.
Other hot locations to attend or perhaps stand outside of as you watch for stars to come and go would be C5 at the top of the crystal in the ROM (100 Queen’s Park at Bloor), Jamie Kennedy – Gardiner Museum (111 Queen’s Park and Bloor) and of course the Spice Room & Chutney Bar located in the atrium of Hazelton Lanes (55 Hazelton and Yorkville).
If you want to party until Dawn drop into the Four Seasons Hotel (21 Avenue rd and Yorkville) or the Park Hyatt (4 Avenue Rd and Bloor). Both hotels will have festivities ongoing until at least 4 a.m. during the festival.
Other clubs with extended drinking hours that are also well known festival venues are the Rosewater Supper Club (19 Toronto at Adelaide), The Courthouse (57 Adelaide East at Toronto), The Drake Hotel (1150 Queen West at Beaconsfield) and the Century Room (580 King West at Portland). These places are sure to be rockin’ till dawn.
I’d heard the news some time on Monday about Owen Wilson’s suicide attempt, but I was waiting for an official confirmation before discussing it on this blog.
