As a university student, keeping track of dates can be hectic. Markers on our calendars may consist only of depressing deadlines and meetings. However, the third Thursday of every month should definitely be marked off and here’s why.
Third Thursdays is an event that runs every month down at Dundas West. It’s advertised as an evening of food, art, music, and shopping. The event is hosted by the local businesses in the area with the intention of aquainting the general public with the neighbourhood. Offers like discounted menus and special deals pop up for the evening to celebrate this unique Thursday.
One of my favourite spots, The Unlovable, offers karaoke. The hipster vibe bar also offers nostalgic pinball machines and great music played by local DJs. Another great spot to look at this Thursday is Cygnet Coffee. Look no further because if you’re looking for a classy little coffee shop to post some new selfies on Instagram, this is your place. They will be offering $2 pastries, which by the way are absolutely delicious, with any drink order.
The area itself may seem a little underrated but Third Thursdays are definitely not to be missed. The discounts are one thing, but the experiences are to die for. Who knows? Maybe you’ll get a new favourite spot to hit up on a night of spontaneity!
