Make more memories.
I go where real life is happening — and I bring you with me as I spotlight the best food, hospitality, and local experiences in Toronto and beyond.
MY MISSION
Real life is the best thing happening right now. I'm here to make sure you don't miss it.
Most people are living in the waiting room — waiting for the right time, the right occasion, the right reason to say yes. Meanwhile, this city is full of local gems, beautiful gatherings, immersive spaces, and experiences that make people feel completely alive, happening whether you show up or not.
I'm Palak Dave — media personality, author of Beautiful Everydays, and creator of In The Room, a series dedicated to discovering Toronto's best real-life places, experiences and the visionaries behind them. After curating hundreds of experiences myself, I know what makes something unforgettable. That's what I look for.
I find the rooms worth being in, and make sure you know exactly where to go and why it can't wait.
If you're a restaurant, brand, hotel, or an experience worth discovering — I don't cover everything. I share what moves me. And when I'm in the room, my community of thousands of people pay attention.
Your real life is not on hold. Get in the room and start living.
