The Corner Saloon Comes to the Corner

Delighted by the success of food carts on Vancouver streets, city councillors have expanded the program to include wheeled cocktail lounges, wine bars and beer gardens. Here are a few recommended by our Fine Dining and Fast Loans correspondent, Hartley O. Gratin:

* The Martini Express, at Howe and Dunsmuir

* Rum for Your Money, at Seymour and Davie

* Cognac Corner, Georgia and Denman

* Gin and Ginseng, Abbott and Keefer

* Vant Vodka? Helmcken and Richards

If, as councillors expect, these curbside saloons prove successful, watch for more street corner services. Among them: Orthodontia on the Go, Full Body Asphalt Massage, and Honk for Psychoanalysis.
