What/Why:
I've had this place bookmarked for far too long and I just found out about their drink specials on Wednesday nights:

$4 for select pints like Muskoka Cream, $4 Caesars, and $3 mimosas

They also have diner food like all-day breakfast, burgers, and sandwiches.

So let's drink, eat and stay cool this Hump Day.

Susan, were you not on the Ossington pub crawl?  This was our food stop.

Hopefully Tom Cruise will be there mixing the cocktails.

No, I missed the pub crawl last year. Oh, gawd, I hope Tom Cruise is NOT there. Cant' stand that smug bastard.

7/6/2010 Nox "Bacon Is A Vitamin" D. says:

This looks so tempting. I'm trying the week of no booze thing too, but cheap drinks and what looks like great company is pretty alluring.

7/6/2010 Stephanie "Let the choir sing!" C. says:

I'm going to try to make it there for 7pm, the latest 7:30pm. But I will be there for the boozing.

7/6/2010 Payam "Gene splicer, Leucine unzipper" Z. says:

Isn't Humpday an NYC only concept?! In my experience, Torontonians don't really go out on Wed. nights!

7/6/2010 Avitania "I Hunger, Coward" B. says:

Could this be my very first UYE in Toronto? :) As long as it's air-conditioned inside this joint, I'm in!

@Avitania: I just called to confirm, and yes! THEY HAVE A/C!
So see you tonight :)

7/7/2010 Eric "it's not hipster, you're just boring." M. says:

I'm confused, is she sad that she isn't humping on hump day or is she just dissappointed that she has to go to these lengths to point out to her husband that there is to be no humping on hump day?

I don't think I can make it for 6:30 but I can be there by 7:30.

@Erin M: She's saying Please Do Not Hump just because it's Hump Day.

@Payam Z: I never took Hump Day to mean one has to go out but Thursday has already become the new Friday in Toronto, and now that everyone is heading off to their cottages on Thursday nights, I think Wednesday has become the new Thursday.

7/7/2010 Eric "it's not hipster, you're just boring." M. says:

Don't hump just because it's hump day? What's wrong with these people? I've had sex for far more frivolous reasons than just because it's a Wednesday.

Prudes.

7/7/2010 Kelly "Swagger Coach" O. says:

@Eric LOLZ!  I would love to know what some of those reasons would be!

I'm definitely in tonight guys, but Ill be a bit late...say 730 or 8.

Looking forward to it!!!

Since everyone's going to be late, I'm changing the start time to 7:30.

7/7/2010 Payam "Gene splicer, Leucine unzipper" Z. says:

Wed was a serious night to go out! I'm sure you remember Fri, Sat, and even Thurs got too packed/ugly for a lot of Manhattan residents

7/7/2010 Payam "Gene splicer, Leucine unzipper" Z. says:

anyways, I will hopefully make it out to one of these hump days. Not this one unfortunately since I'm gettin outta town tomorrow

7/7/2010 Avitania "I Hunger, Coward" B. says:

I'll be there!

7/7/2010 Eric "it's not hipster, you're just boring." M. says:

@Kelly - Down. We can discuss at the lakeview.

7/7/2010 Kat "the way you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed" F. says:

Dammit - can someone Skype me into this UYE so I don't miss out on the conversation??

Nice, the extra hour means I have more time to talk myself into putting on pants and stepping outside my air conditioned sanctuary. Pretty sure I'll be there, looking forward to meeting you guys (and hearing Eric's list of whimsical reasons to have sex).

@Nox D: Just look for the table of shocked people with our jaws dropped to the floor.

This sounds awesome! I'm going to deff try and make it.

Anybody else? I'm going to head out soon (and won't have access to Yelp).
The Lakeview doesn't take reservations but "guaranteed" a table for 8 (this includes the 5 who are in, Avitania's +1, Nox, and Roma).

Speak now or risk missing out on Eric M's Frivolous Reasons for Having Sex!

7/7/2010 Eric "it's not hipster, you're just boring." M. says:

Suddenly I feel like I have to prepare notes for a lecture.

Dear Men,

RSVP now as I am feeling out numbered.

Cheers,
Eric.

I suck at TTC, what's the best way to get there from the subway?

7/7/2010 Eric "it's not hipster, you're just boring." M. says:

Where are you coming from Nox? You could take the subway to Ossington and then bus south to Dundas or head for Dundas and take a street car across to Ossington.

7/7/2010 Nox "Bacon Is A Vitamin" D. says:

I live a block from Lawrence station, so probably west from Dundas unless south down Ossington would be way faster (which I think it may be).

7/7/2010 Eric "it's not hipster, you're just boring." M. says:

Much faster. Traffic down Ossington shouldn't be bad at all.

7/7/2010 Avitania "I Hunger, Coward" B. says:

@Eric - my husband is my +1, so you're saved from an Estro-Fest. ;)

7/7/2010 Stephanie "Let the choir sing!" C. says:

Thank you for the time change! I'll be there for 7:30pm.

7/7/2010 Roma M. says:

It's not working out for me, but I shall live vicariously through your mimosa-fest. Alas, I was looking forward to cheap drinks and an insight on Eric's gratuitous sex life!

7/7/2010 Lauren "Lo-BAL" M. says:

I was going to come, but I just got home from the gym and the couch feels soooooooooooooooo good :)

Was tons of fun!  Great to meet Nox, Avitania and Scott!!  And of course, hearing all of Eric's stories!  WOW!

7/7/2010 Avitania "I Hunger, Coward" B. says:

Thanks to Susan for putting on this UYE! I had a fab time, and so did my husband. Good times!

7/8/2010 Eric "it's not hipster, you're just boring." M. says:

I had a wonderful time and I blame you all for getting home so late. Good call on the Lakeview Susan and thank you for putting it together.

It was great meeting Nox, Tania (do you prefer Tania or Avitania?) and Chad. I hope to see you guys again soon.

7/8/2010 Stephanie "Let the choir sing!" C. says:

Thanks again to Susan who organized this. I love the Lakeview and $3 mimosas so any excuse to revisit one of my favourite restos is good with me.

It was nice meeting Nox, Tania and Chad, and of course Eric's wonderful stories!
