Robbie Burns, Chinese New Year and Bin 942

Jan 22, 2004

By Catherine Barr

 

Whether you're Scottish, Chinese or just love to eat, this was a week to remember. Let's start with the folks at Bin 942 who celebrated last Wednesday with the "Tongue Twisters" book launch from chef/owner Gord Martin. Then it was off to Doolin's pub on Thursday for an all-out Robert Burns feast complete with Haggis and whiskey. The week wouldn't be complete without Gung Hay Fat Choy, the Chinese New Year, which the good folks at Skybar celebrated with a gourmet six-course celebration meal for guests of all descents.


Vancouver's best events and celebrity functions are all archived here. Vancouver pubs, clubs, nightclubs, gala events and fundraisers are included. Thanks for viewing.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
