# 🐣🌷 Easter Sunday Brunch (Buffet) @ HOTHOUSE! 🌷🐣 # If you know… you know. This brunch sells out every single year — and for good reason. It is hands-down one of the BEST brunch buffets in Toronto (and honestly, the GTA). When people ask me where to go for a truly memorable brunch experience, I always say **HotHouse**. The food is fresh. The selection is generous. The price point is fantastic for what you get. And the desserts? Unreal. 🍰 If you love cake, this is your moment. Add in a live jazz band, Easter energy, and a room full of great people — and you have what I truly believe is the **must-eat brunch of the season**. This isn’t just brunch. It’s an event. *** ## 🥂 Brunch Details 📍 **Location:** HotHouse Restaurant (35 Church St, Toronto) 🕐 **Meetup Time:** 12:45 PM (I’ll wait 5 minutes before we head in together!) 💲 **Buffet Cost:** $35 + tax + tip (paid directly to the restaurant) 🎶 Live Jazz Band 📜 **Menu:** 🐰 Click here to see what’s on the Easter buffet! 🐣 Please don’t call the restaurant — they won’t know about this private Meetup.

Send your e-transfer to: 📧 **[mathewmaclean@hotmail.com](mailto:mathewmaclean@hotmail.com)** Only 25 spots available. When you arrive at brunch, you will receive **$20 back**.

Thank you for respecting the structure. It’s what allows events like this to run smoothly every year. 🌷 *** ## 🐰 How to Find Me I’ll be waiting outside the front doors wearing my famous Moose Hat 🫎 Please don’t go in without me — we’ll head in together as one fabulous Easter crew. 🌼 *** ## 🌼 About This Group Whether you’re single, partnered, new to the city, or just looking to meet great people — you’re welcome here. Many members attend solo. No cliques. No pressure. Just good conversation, shared tables, and genuine connection.

Linger over coffee. Go back for another slice of cake. Enjoy the jazz. Soak in the Easter atmosphere. Note: Occasionally things happen and the event may need to be adjusted — please keep an eye out for updates. *** ✨ Come hungry. Come festive. Come ready to celebrate Easter in the most delicious way possible. ✨ This is one of the best brunch experiences in the city at an incredible price point — and it will sell out.

...and speaking of breakthrough roles: who can forget the first time we saw Tom Cruise singing Bob Seeger in his underwear? Often considered an updated 1983 version of The Graduate, the movie sparkles with memorable lines and original music. I only regret that I was never told that "Princeton could use someone like Bob..." See the movie first and join us for some "Cruisin'"

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s?

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
