Super Bowl Sunday on Ossington

Melinda M — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 17:15:00 +0000

Still trying to decide how to spend your Super Bowl Sunday? If you want to watch the big game or do something less sports-oriented, here are some choices in the Ossington/Dundas area.

The Painted Lady is hosting a SuperBowl party with large screen TVs and a special menu including varieties of hot dogs. They are even conducting a football pool so you can really have something to root for.

Reposado celebrates “Superbowl Stupor” at 5PM with free munchies and $5 tall boys.

The Dakota Tavern continues with their usual live music lineup starting with Lickin Good Fried at 7 and house band the Beauties at 10p.

Communist’s Daughter hosts their regular Sunday afternoon jazz starting 4:30ish.

The Garrison’s Wavelength series continues tonight with bands playing from 9p- late.

You can check out some art at AWOL open til 5 with a new exhibition this weekend.

There are likely more events happening, but this is a start. Have a great Superbowl Sunday!

The Ossington BlackOut Street Party

Ossington broke out into song and dance tonight with the Ossington Blackout Street Party. It was quiet to start, with bars turning off their lights and just having candles and acoustic music. We stopped in the Crooked Star for a pint, and while it was hot inside, the atmosphere was fun and people were enjoying themselves. Along the street, in parking spots there were games of musical chairs, foozball, and jugglers.

Then right around 10 the party broke out. Fire jugglers, samba drummers, and all sorts of musicians, including the organizer, Michael J. and Richard Underhill, of the shuffle demons.

Here’s a set of the pictures with music accompaniment:

If you have more, let me know and I’ll add them into the mix. Keep an eye on the facebook and yelp pages, for more pics.

Come to Ossington on Friday August 14th for the a fun night in the best neighbourhood in the city. Michael Johnson, the troubador of Communist’s Daughter, and advocate for less cars through his streets are for people campaign, is organizing a party in celebration of the 6th Anniversary of the Toronto blackout.

This should be a great night. There should be no lights, no mics, no amps, some good acoustic music.

There should be a lot of venues involved. While walking the street tonight I saw signs on Reposado, Painted Lady, Foxley Bistro and BQM.

They have a facebook page here.

And don’t forget about the Yelp Ossington Pub Crawl next week.
