thing romantic and a little daring? Go

back to the Century Grill, or anywhere
with an oyster bar, and try oysters with
a glass of fine white wine. Most oyster

shuckers will pick out the freshest oys-

ters for you and shuck them right there.

If you go to the Century Grill, ask
Dan and the crew their view on oysters
being an aphrodisiac. “It’s all in the
texture,’ Dan, head oyster shucker and
joker, says.

If you're a faithful beer drinker then
there is no hope for you. It’s always on
special, it’s always served in a big mug
to match your big beer belly and it
makes you feel Canadian. It also makes
you feel bloated, it’s famously watered
down when on tap, but you dont care,
it’s beer. Try your beer a little different
this summer. Try dropping an
Ammaretto shot into your beer to
make it a Canadian invented Dr.
Pepper, or try dropping some Clamato
juice into it and make it a Red Eye. A
pale ale from England served in a tall
can actually has a little spinner at the
bottom of the can, and when you open
it the spinner spins creating an atom
bomb effect—the beer starts with a
“B” so start searching. Fogg ’N’ Suds is
the best placé to try exotic beers; the
Bainbridge and Lougheed location in
Burnaby has the best patio for summer
gatherings.

None of this means you have to
drink alcohol, in fact I inquired about

the best non-alcoholic drink as well.

 

Mike, the bartender from Yaletown
Brewing Company, put it the best.
“The iced tea is the best choice of the
summer if you don't feel like alcohol.
Iced tea is like the classic black dress.”
Non-alcoholic Margaritas, Caesars, or
Daiquiris as well as the newly famous
summer Frappaccinos make a nice
alternative.

I think the biggest point I’m trying
to make is that you should get out

 

there and socialize beneath the warm
sun. Put your busy life on hold, sit on;
some of the best patios offered in all
of the world, and sip on a classy drink.
Live the life of the rich a couple nights
a month. This summer is one of the
finest I can remember so take advantage
as much as you can, I know I am.
