Okay TK's Halifax

Okay TK·DJ & Entrepreneur & Event Producer7 picksRecently
One of the city's top DJs, Okay TK has been holding it down in the local music scene for over 20 years — with guaranteed sell-out events like Bump & Grind and High School Mixtape. He's also the brains behind Buddy's Deli and Golden Service, one of Halifax's go-to mobile bar and catering companies. Oh — and he might be the funniest person on your feed. Meme king, community builder, all-around good guy. We love TK. Here's what he loves about Halifax.
“I've already decided I'm naming my firstborn mozza sticks or garlic knots — the paperwork is pending.”
Bird's Nest Cafe
Bird's Nest Cafe
I've recently been calling The Birds Nest Cafe on Barrington Street my second office. My actual workspace is just around the corner, but there's something about this cozy little spot that keeps pulling me back. Perfect for those 'I need caffeine and inspiration' moments.

Dilly Dally Coffee Cafe
IF you can find a seat, I highly recommend Dilly Dally on Quinpool Road. The food is outstanding and the staff are super nice.

BASYL
BASYL

What really draws me in to certain artists is watching genuine artistic growth — both in their music content and live performances. I've known BASYL for a couple years now, and he's been consistently elevating his music, showmanship, and work ethic.

High School Mixtape

I may be a bit biased, but High School Mixtape tops my list this month. It's one of those feel good events that I'm lucky to throw together. Collaborating with some of our talented local artists and musicians makes this event something special.
Event

Summer

Also, is Summer technically an event? Because if it is, I'm pretty stoked for that to come and hang out for a bit.

Freemans Quinpool Rd
Freemans Quinpool Rd
I would be committing a disservice to myself if I didn't mention Freemans on Quinpool. It's my goto sanctuary when I need a quiet booth to work on my laptop. I've already decided I'm naming my firstborn mozza sticks or garlic knots — the paperwork is pending.

CHKN CHOP
When I'm absolutely ravenous, Chkn Chop is my goto. Everything they serve is top-notch. Your classic comfort food done really, really well. Everyone is great there!
