The Weeknd is coming to Ottawa on Friday Janaury 20th and will be performing at Barrymores (323 Bank Street  Ottawa, ON K2P 1X9)

My favorite track featuring him, is of course “Crew Love”

Listen to it Here: Crew Love

The Weeknd first came out with the House of  Balloon mixtape which has people scratching their heads…There was an intentional mystery around this artist…And still is full of intrigue.

The 21 year old Toronto artist really made a great first, second and third impression…Let’s see what he’ll come out with next.

The second date is Saturday January 28th… ASAP ROCKY will be performing at Ottawa’s number #1 underground spot “Ritual Nightclub” (137 Besserer St  Ottawa, Ontario K1N 9J9 )

ASAP came on the scene not too long ago, but his incorporation of chop and screw as well as his smooth New York flow reminds me of a “new” version of old school rappers. Call me crazy but I hear a bit of  Tupac, a bit of Biggie and even a bit of Bone Thugs N Harmony at times. This kid really stands out to me because he is unlike many of today’s young rappers.
Check out my favorite tracks from ASAP: Purple Swag, Peso, Trilla

I just saw this randomly on Twitter and it really peaked my interest. It’s the ByWard Market Food Tour…Why haven’t I heard of this before? Not sure, but now that I have…I’m interested!

What an awesome way to spend an afternoon! I read on the WHISK blog that the 2.5 hour tour costs $45.00 per person, and is done on Thursdays and Saturdays beginning at 10:30am. Check out the blog – it features really great photos of the tour and a few tour facts that are pretty neat.

I need some feedback – who’s been on this tour? Is it a good time? Does each resto give you taste of their best dish?

Let me know & Bon Appetit!

Drop It Like It's Hot

Who said Thursdays were dead? Hump day aint the only day you can get it on and poppin!

Ottawa has a wicked Thursday night party at RITUAL Nightclub that has really taken off in the last year.

Finally – a casually-dope  hip hop/dubstep/oldschool night is BACK in the capital!

I really like this spot because you can come dressed up, you can come dressed down and you can come dressed in a garbage bag and rain boots. There’s nothing pretentious about this place. It’s a place where ALL are welcome…fear not dress code rejects and bearded leprechauns!  (For the record, I’d still come dressed up either way, cuz that’s how I do).

Stay Fly XoXoX

I’ve been at this spot enough times now that I can confidently say that they {more than} deserve an honorable mention. Trella has apparently been in little Italy for quite some time, but it took them moving to a relatively new building for me to notice. I’ll be honest – I’m really weary of Italian spots…I’ll tell you why: in my experience many of these Italian restaurants can be outdated, the food quality can be poor and the price you pay sometimes just aint worth it. HOWEVER…Trella Bar & Grill is none of the above.

This is such a modern, chic, affordable place, that I just CANNOT stand by and not say anything. I LOVE this spot and I can’t get enough. The food there is FANTASTIC and the prices are surprising! Their menu is quite eclectic – with an Italian spin of course, they combine modern cuisine and traditional elements. The selection is quite rich as well:

They feature classically delicious appetizers like crab cakes, bruschetta, anti pasto, mussels etc

And have a huge range of main dishes: from meal sized hearty salads, grilled meats, fresh fish,  pastas, pizzas, sandwiches etc.

Their dessert menu changes daily as they receive their cakes and pastries fresh daily.

I really like this place also because of their conscious use of local ingredients.

Trella also has a full bar as well, as it turns into a “supper club” on Friday and Saturday nights (10pm -2:30am) – hosted by my good friends at Ebony&Ivory. You can expect really great music all night – hip hop, R&B, Dancehall, Reggae, old school and last time I was there, there was an amazing African drum group drumming to the beat of the dj’s music. The atmosphere was great!

Check out their website for all the details!

Meet me at Trella!

Stay Fly and Bon Appetite!
