All Day Events Toronto

Dine side by side with other solo diners — every Thursday in Toronto (#dine)

# Dine side by side with other solo diners. **Every Thursday. Everyone comes on their own.** We find and hold the city's most social seats for solo diners — you reserve yours and show up. ## The seats do the introductions. * **Conversation starts itself** You sit down with a hello, and talk starts on its own — side by side, there's no face-to-face interview, nobody performs, nobody's on a date. Counter seats have worked this way forever. * **The numbers agree** Nine in ten Gen Z diners say they enjoy dining alongside strangers, and one in three has made a real friend that way. People want an experience as much as a meal — and the city's restaurants have quietly had the perfect seats for it all along. We make them accessible: one held seat, every Thursday. Dinner can be a full meal or just a drink. The company costs nothing. * **You're part of the room** Alone at a table for one, you watch the room. Seated side by side, you *are* the room — a bartender pouring or a kitchen at work in front of you, good company beside you. That's the whole difference. ## How it works 1. Reserve a seat One tap, and we show you this Thursday's spot. A few details hold your seat. 2. You're expected Reminders arrive on WhatsApp before dinner. Walk in, show your reservation at the door, take your seat. 3. The counter does the rest Good food, side-by-side seats, and conversation that happens effortlessly. ## Nothing about Thursday is random. Every spot on our list is somewhere we'd happily spend an evening ourselves. We look for rooms where conversation already exists — lively counters, chefs at work, bartenders who know the city, places where coming on your own has always felt natural. Whether it's another #dine guest, the person beside you, or a conversation that starts on its own, you're part of the room from the moment you sit down. ## Good to know * ✓ Not dating, not networking — just good company * ✓ You only pay for what you order * ✓ Full dinner or just a drink — order what suits you * ✓ English-speaking company * ✓ Free to cancel until 4 hours before your reservation Coming on your own shouldn't mean being on your own — and the best seat in the house isn't always a table. Sometimes it's front row at the counter. **IMPORTANT** Seat confirmations happen through #dine: https://www.hashtagdine.com/

Mississauga Event on Wednesday 6:30pm (Bring your paddle and balls)

Hello everyone, We're starting our outdoor pickleball meetups in **Mississauga** area! Please keep in mind that even though we gather at public courts, **we may not always be able to play together as a group**. Every court has its own rules. Most often, players line up their paddles in a designated area and wait for their turn. A game must begin within 3 minutes, and after each game, **all four players must exit the court** and line up their paddles again for the next round. Please bring your **paddle, court shoes, towel, and water**. Also, don’t forget **sunscreen or a hat** to protect yourself from the sun. See you on the court! **Friendly Reminder: Open Play for All Levels** This is a loosely organized event designed for everyone to enjoy. Beginners are more than welcome! * **No Fixed Groups:** You don't need a team of four to participate. * **Mix & Mingle:** You’re free to play with anyone at the courts. Just check in with other Meetup members and say hello! * **Drills & Practice:** If we're short on numbers for a game, it's a great chance to practice dinking or rallying. Just come out, meet new people, and have fun!

Morning in the Pocket (4.5km)

This one is for the early risers. The Pocket is a pocket-shaped neighbourhood centred around Phin Park. There are not many entry points and the bottom is hemmed off by railway tracks. So, we'll leave through one of two exits on the east. The Pocket has no food options. We have to continue on to the border of Leslieville, where one can find bakeries and one of the best hot chocolates in the city. The hike ends at a legendary Egyptian brunch restaurant that doesn't take reservations. Come early (that's the point of the hike) to avoid 1-hour queues. Additional breakfast options are further east at Little India. **Highlights** 1. Pape/Danforth Library (depart 8:15am) 2. Cranfield House 3. Jones Avenue Adult Centre 4. Greenwood Yard 5. Soul Chocolate (depart 9:10am) 6. Greenwood Park 7. The Redwood / Conci 8. Maha's Brunch (arrive 9:30am) **Neighbourhoods** Blake - Jones > The Pocket > Leslieville **Map** [https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1TWY5OSIYaAywFG-fSF42x8XRz4xKzxQ&usp=sharing](https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1TWY5OSIYaAywFG-fSF42x8XRz4xKzxQ&usp=sharing) **How it works** Hike starts punctually. Late or can't do the whole route? Meet us at scheduled checkpoints. See our [About section](https://www.meetup.com/hike-to-eat/) for more info.

Join us for a relaxed afternoon exploring Toronto's largest and most beloved park. High Park has a little bit of everything—peaceful forest trails, beautiful gardens, Grenadier Pond, wildlife, open green spaces, and even its own free zoo. It's one of those places where you can forget you're in Canada's largest city. This isn't about racing from one landmark to another. It's about slowing down, getting outside, meeting new people, and enjoying a few hours together in one of Toronto's best parks. 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:**[ Click here to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DRFTkxRlHS4B3IL1lMleUd) *** ## 🚶‍♂️ What We'll Do We'll spend approximately **3 hours** exploring many of High Park's most beautiful areas at a relaxed social pace.
