Society Dining Lounge – now open in Yaletown
Earlier this month, the Glowbal Group’s newest initiative “Society” (1257 Hamilton Street) opened in Yaletown. With the tagline of “Opposites Attract. The Unexpected Reigns”, Society most definitely has unique, unexpected menu offerings!! Described as a “union of opposites”, the menu offers comfort food – but with a twist.
So for example, classic tomato soup accompanied by mini grilled cheese sandwiches (hmm, following the “tapas” trend?), Mac & Cheese balls (think crabcake style), apple pie with vanilla ice cream and a Nutella milkshake (spiked with Baileys). As for prices, Society’s express lunch menu is a pretty good deal. Less than $10 for sandwich-y types of food. Also, several of their menu items contain cotton candy as an ingredient, including on their drinks menu, the “Candy Collins” which is probably the most creative drink I’ve ever had. It came with a generous fluff of cotton candy on top, and I was advised by the bartender that I could either eat it plain, or melt it into my gin to sweeten as desired.
Apple – one day shopping event (Friday November 27)
Apple’s one-day shopping event is happening this Friday November 27th. No word on exactly how good the discounts will be though … but if you were thinking of buying something before anyway, this Friday would be a good time to take that initiative. Stock up now on products, their sales are few and far in between… I’m eyeing the Macbook Pro to replace my current first-generation black Macbook, now I just need to decide on whether I want another 13 inch or upgrade to 15 inch.
