ICYMI drag brunches are popping up all over Toronto and we are living for it! Whether a one-time thing for pride or an ongoing series—we’ve found ‘em all! Don’t walk, or run…cuz brunching with queens is the next best thing since sliced bread. You’re welcome b!tc#, as a true queen would say. 😉
#ProTips: Bring cash (most restaurants don’t have enough change to go around because everyone will be looking for it)–ICYMI, TD and RBC bank machines let you actually let you choose your denominations when doing a withdrawal–and tip your queens. Don’t drive…walk, skip, Uber, Lyft, or take a taxi, you name it, but don’t drive… because we all deserve to drink for charity, or a good cause, right?! Last, but not least, bring your friends and family. Drag brunch is meant to be celebrated and surrounded by those you love and want to have a good time!
