The Laurentian Room welcomes Halloween with burlesque, beats and brushed prawns

TORONTO - October 12, 2006

The Laurentian Room invites you for 'tricks and treats' at the special Halloween event on Saturday, October 28th, 2006. The holiday bash features a live performance by Tigerlily's Erotic Cabaret and offers a new autumn menu, created by executive chef Mathew Worman, to celebrate the season's flavours.

This season, SHE Visions returns with the daring contemporary burlesque and performance art troupe, Tigerlily's Erotic Cabaret, which guarantees to tease and tantalize. The provocative review will appeal to those with an appetite for a bit of sass and scandal - definitely not for the faint at heart. Immediately following the Cabaret, Toronto's most celebrated classic house and old skool DJ's take up residence to deliver the soundtrack to your night.

Friday nights showcase DJ Alvaro C and Boris "Kid Congo" with special guests, spinning a sexy mix of house music and Latin beats interwoven with live performances. Not to be missed, this unique and special groove puts the sizzle back into your Friday nights.

"The Room" kicks off an exciting season by launching a mouth-watering new fall menu by executive chef Mathew Worman. Keeping with the tradition of simple, fresh, market-inspired, urban cuisine, Worman's creations are designed for an autumn evening's pleasure. Selected features from the fall menu include fresh ricotta gnocchi, rosemary brushed giant tiger prawns and duck confit.

The Laurentian Room remains dedicated to offering the very finest quality dining experience, exquisite service and entertainment for outstanding value. If you haven't yet savoured the delectable cuisine, the dreamy art deco ambiance, the signature cocktails and the friendly, intimate atmosphere, there is no better time to experience all that "The Room" has to offer.

The Laurentian Room is a beautifully appointed art deco style salon, located on the second floor of the historic Winchester Hotel, in the heart of Cabbagetown. The restaurant and lounge offers contemporary cuisine and wine, live entertainment, and a venue for special events and private functions. The Laurentian Room is open Wednesday to Saturday from 6pm to 2am.
