Here are new ways to entertain, feed, and treat summer associates and interns.
1. Fun for a Good Cause
As part of the Bonding for a Cause program it launched in March 2009, Teambonders can assist groups with creating hands-on events that enable companies to support a charity or cause of their choice. Teams can opt to build bikes, go-carts, teddy bears, or children’s toys. Workshops, held on location, cost about $110 per person.
2. Dinner and Drinks
A new restaurant from chef Paul Boehmer (with an accented spelling of his name), Böhmer Inc. opened in February on the Ossington strip, beside the chef’s new gourmet food shop. The 4,000-square-foot space is filled with custom furnishings designed by the Brothers Dressler; it seats 90 for dinner and holds as many as 150 for cocktails. A private dining room can accommodate 18. The menu focuses on local and seasonal fare.
3. In-Office Treats
Opened by Lesley Mattina in October, OMG Baked Goodness can provide a selection of sweets for in-office or off-site meetings. The bakery offers items like pumpkin-cranberry sticky toffee puddings ($2.95 each), vegan chocolate mini cupcakes ($1.25 each), and a range of mini cakes in flavours like banana chocolate chip (2.50 each). Delivery is available.
