🍀🥂 ST. PATRICK’S DAY WEEKEND BRUNCH 🥂🍀
🍀🥂 **ST. PATRICK’S DAY WEEKEND BRUNCH** 🥂🍀
Green Vibes, Irish History & A Proper Pub Gathering
Yes, St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Tuesday this year…
But who honestly wants to party on a Tuesday unless it involves a movie night?
So we’re doing this properly — weekend style.
Join us for a festive St. Patrick’s Day brunch celebration at **Stout Irish Pub!,** right in Toronto’s Cabbage Town. Expect warm wood interiors, classic Irish pub energy, hearty brunch plates, and yes… possibly something green in your glass. 🍻
But this isn’t just about beer and brunch.
St. Patrick’s Day holds real historical weight in Toronto. When Irish immigrants first arrived in Canada, many faced discrimination and hardship. Over time, the Irish community played a profound role in shaping the city — from infrastructure to politics to culture. In fact, some of the earliest large-scale St. Patrick’s Day celebrations began in North America before the holiday became as widely celebrated in Ireland itself.
So this weekend, we’re raising a glass not just for fun — but for legacy.
And also… for brunch.

Brunch @The Senator Restaurant on Saturday, March 14th, 2026 at 11 AM
Hi Amazing Ladies,
Come join us for Brunch on **Saturday**, March 14th, 2026 at 11:00 AM at The Senator, an iconic Toronto restaurant. The menu boasts a great selection of timeless classics and current favourites, thoughtfully crafted using the freshest ingredients sourced from some of the finest local purveyors. Come and enjoy a wonderful brunch where nostalgia meets the contemporary. Click [here](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/63deb4d9d3ba8f71b9f77160/t/689ec13b7cb61e6b5f9066a3/1755234619952/Brunch+Menu+July+2.pdf) for a link to the menu. Meet friends and make some new ones while enjoying a lovely Brunch. Each participant will cover their own food and drink costs.
**There is a non-refundable / non-transferable $5.00 cover fee** to attend this group event. This charge will reserve your spot, help with group costs and hopefully minimize no shows. **Payment of the $5 cover charge is due by FRIDAY, MARCH 6th, 2026.** After this date, non payment of the cover fee will result in the Member's name being moved to the "not going" list so that those "waitlisted" have an opportunity to attend the Brunch.
In consideration of others, if you are not able to attend, please advise 48 hours prior to the event to allow other people on the waitlist to have your spot. No shows and less than 48 hours notice of non-attendance will be noted. 2 or more such occurrences will unfortunately lead to removal from the group. Thank you all for your understanding and consideration. Looking forward to connecting soon!
Here are the details for the $5.00 e-transfer - E-mail - [weekendbrunchover50@hotmail.com](http://weekendbrunchover50@hotmail.com/), Security Question - What is the time of the event? **Eleven**
Hope to see you there!

Dining at Cafe Istanbul
Join me at 3 for dining, at Cafe Istanbul, on Easton.
Cafe Istanbul in Easton, Columbus, Ohio, is a Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant known for its authentic cuisine, including various kebabs (lamb, chicken, beef), falafel, and appetizers like Sigara Borek, served in a uniquely decorated setting reminiscent of old Istanbul. It offers a full bar, takeout, and reservations, with popular dishes like lamb shish kebab, doner kebab, and vegetarian options like moussaka.
One thing this group doesn't seem to do a lot of is dine out. This is an opportunity for those that like to eat over a meal and connect to do so.
Please RSVP by Saturday 4pm
