Daniel’s Dish | America Restaurant

The premise of the column is simple; work with restaurants of all kinds to explore what they have to offer and what makes them unique. In a city like Toronto, the choices are sometimes daunting and the food reviews and critics can be snotty and too complicated for their own good. So why not keep this easy? Drinks. Appetizer. Main Course. Dessert. All along with a bit of information about what makes them my choice for Daniel’s Dish and why you should try them right away!

Health & Nutrition | Soul 7 | OMG how are your chakras?

Review by Catherine’s Cabinet

There was a time in my life when I thought that people who spoke of “energies” and “chakras” were absolutely coo-coo banana crackers. I remember feeling uncomfortable when anyone around me talked about spirituality or connecting themselves to the earth. But, there’s also something that I was taught at a very a young age – if it makes you uncomfortable, pursue it, face it head on and then grow from the experience, whether good or bad.

Events | Evil Dead – The Musical is THE best way to celebrate Halloween!

This week marks the beginning of some pretty amazing Halloween events and themed posts coming to DoTheDaniel.com. But when asked what the #DoTheDaniel & #FASHIONIGHTS team were up to on Halloween I was at a loss for quite some time. How would we celebrate one of my favourite holidays in the best way possible? Luckily for us, Evil Dead – The Musical is on its first-ever North American Tour and has landed right here in Toronto. With lots of laughter, some gory splatter for those of us sitting in the “splatter zone” and a great time to be had… come and see why this Halloween season you should join us at The Randolph Theatre (736 Bathurst St.) for a strictly limited engagement, from Oct. 31 to Nov. 9.

Toronto | Shangri-La Hotel Toronto X Luca Cinalli of Nightjar London create the best cocktails in Toronto

With the autumn well under way and beauty all around us, I am left switching my mentality to more indoor activities and entertainment. I love to spend as much time outdoors exploring the city I love, and I would always recommend you do the same. As the colder weather begins to creep over Canadian cities from coast to coast, I am of course drawn to the idea of getting on a plane with Julio and going away. I got to thinking where in the world I would take him and the answer became evident. London is my favourite city in the world and I have seen the globe twice over. From the culture to the class found in every corner.. It’s hard to explain but it just feels like the city I am supposed to end up in.

So when Shangri-La Hotel Toronto contacted me to speak of a visit from award winning mixologist Luca Cinalli of The Nighthjar in London, I was intrigued to say the least. His visit coincides with the launch of a brand new cocktail list at one of my favourite places to escape the cold in Toronto. Be it for a stay in the hotel or a delicious meal at bosk, the fact remains that the following four cocktails are the best in Toronto. THAT is a bold statement, but once you read about them and Luca’s masterful art, I have no doubt you’ll be heading to Shangri-La Hotel Toronto to try them all for yourself. Don’t forget to drink responsibly, but I do guess that some young adults may want to join in on the fun and some of the best fake ID sites out there will be inundated with requests!
