.. Did a train just stop beside Yaletown Park?
What is happening?
The Yaletown BIA has located an authentic, decommissioned railway caboose near Mainland and Nelson, alongside Yaletown Park. This is part of a “heritage street furnishings” program undertaken by the Yaletown BIA to commemorate Vancouver’s 125th Anniversary in 2011.
What is it for ?
This caboose is an icon and a landmark, recalling the railway history of Yaletown and the connection that Vancouver has long had with rail transportation. The caboose will initially serve as an event centre for community events such as Christmas Toy Drive, Halloween and some celebrations of Vancouver’s 125th Anniversary in 2011.
The Yaletown BIA has launched a new program to make the Taste of Yaletown even tastier! All participating Taste of Yaletown restaurants will receive taxi vouchers from the Yaletown BIA that they can hand out to their guests who have enjoyed some wine or cocktails along with their meals.
The 2010 Taste of Yaletown menus are now available and the restaurants will begin taking reservations on September 30th. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to sample some of Yaletown’s best restaurants and enjoy three-course menus for $25, $35 or $45. A portion of the proceeds raised will be donated to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.
New in the 6th Annual Taste of Yaletown is a fashion menu thrown into the mix.
When you dine at participating Taste of Yaletown restaurants, get a chance to pick up your $25 gift certificate from Fine Finds. You can use it to purchase a new Olisa Handbag for Fall or Mackage Diana Coat.
The gift certificates are valid for use from October 13- November 1, 2010.
View the fashion menu here.
On Saturday October 23rd 4-7pm, Art Works Gallery will join forces with Taylorwood Wines to create a unique Taste of Yaletown experience! Before your dinner reservation at one of Yaletown’s delicious restaurants, enjoy award-winning wines while meeting award-winning artist James C. Leonard, one of California’s leading abstract expressionist painters.
