Remember the heat of August, (constant threat of rain) and Drake One Fifty's Twilight Tuesdays night markets with neighbours Momofuku, Richmond Station, The Gabardine, Tundra, and sponsors Grolsch and DREAM? Here you thought you were eating your way through the York St. parkette, but in fact, you were helping us raise funds for the Out of the Cold program at nearby St. Andrew's Church. All that eating paid off, because we raised $9000 to help provide warm meals for those who need them most during the coldest fall and winter months. http://www.thedrake.ca/blog/2014/11/drake-one-fiftys-twilight-tuesdays/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=AKE&utm_campaign=one-night-only-whats-in-the-box-fundraising-in-the-parkette Banish Winter Blues at #DrakeDev DRAKE DEVONSHIRE WINTER IS BETTER HERE We're going to come out and say it: at the Drake Devonshire, we do winter better.
