Every month, Avenue’s A-List membership offers members exclusive access to the city’s best events. March is proving to be a busy month with a variety of exciting experiences for A-Listers, each of which is promised to come with VIP treatment. A-Listers don’t have to worry about a thing when they’re out on the town, and it’s as easy as signing up, browsing upcoming events and using their A-Dollars towards experiences of their choice.
Expect a special wow factor at every event. Whether it’s an intimate evening with exclusive wines, where the bill and tip are taken care of, or a culinary class where you bring home a treat and a special item, there’s something for everyone.
Here are a few of March’s events.
Enjoy high tea while making a difference
On March 7, join Inn From the Cold at The Brownstone for their International Women’s Day M-Power Brunch. The event supports Emma House, Inn From the Cold’s housing program for expectant mothers experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness. The M-Power Brunch offers an elegant high tea experience with gourmet bites, a live harpist and inspiring stories from those whose lives have been impacted by Emma House.
Cook some meat and savour some beer
The Cookbook Co. hosts a hands-on culinary class for all things meat and beer, called Meat Meets Beer, on March 10. Chef Craig Westhaver — also the resident beer expert at Metrovino — will host the class, where A-Listers will learn all about meat-forward dishes and the perfect brew to go with.
Learn to make crêpes
On March 14, A-Listers can learn to make the perfect crêpe with a chef-led cooking class by The Cookbook Co. A-Listers will discover whether they love the French delicacy sweet, with caramelized bananas, or savoury, with mushroom, prosciutto and Swiss cheese or lamb and ricotta. Plus, they’ll get to bring home their own crêpe pan.
