O Canada: Thank You for the Free Luxurious Food, Massages and Drinks
Filed Under: Food and Drink Music Special Events
What do you think of when you think of Canada? Hockey. The flag with the leaf on it. The hockey team named after the leaves. Pamela Anderson. The L Magazine's editor-in-chief Jonny Diamond. Things that are clean.
But apparently someone, somewhere wants your mouth to water more, and for you to be drunker, when you think about Canada, so there's a promotional event tomorrow and Thursday with free food, free cocktails, free music, in a swanky location--to promote the natural gifts from our gentle, smarter northern neighbor. For the Ultimate Canadian Room-With-A-View, they've opened up an almost-never-open-to-the-public section of Rockefeller Center with crazy views, and you can just go there, check it out, and eat and drink and hang out to your heart's delight--for free. Almost perplexingly good, kind of like Canada itself. Here's what to expect:
-Cooking demonstrations from Ottawa’s Le Cordon Bleu, the North American hub of the prestigious international culinary arts network (with free dishes like stuffed tomatoes with Nova Scotia Lobster and Newfoundland Cod brandade)
-Spa treatments
-Interactive art from Toronto
-Musical performances by Montreal DJ Jérome Decis and the Chris Norman Duo
-An outdoor bar and lounge serving Canadian specialty drinks such as Montreal Gin & Sours (pictured) and Toronto bubble tea
It's at Rockefeller Center’s 620 Loft & Garden, 620 Fifth Avenue (entrance on 50th Street), from 6-9pm tomorrow, May 14th, and Thursday, May 15th. Put it on your calendars, this sounds really terrific. If you have any excuse to be near Rockefeller Center, drop in and eat some lobster. That's it. Too good to be true, but it is true.
