A new, Eastern European-themed sportsbar called Sorry Babushka opens this week in the former Me & Julio location at 2095 Commercial Drive. There will be 90 seats inside and another 44 outside on the people-watching patio. They aim to show plenty of soccer, hockey, live music and comedy on their new stage.
A new Italian eatery called Pronto is opening this week in the old Arts Flowers & Gifts address at 3473 Cambie. The good-looking 37-seater is designed by the same aesthetes that brought us Les Faux Bourgeois. Expect a limited menu of simple soups and sandwiches (theyre concentrating on porchetta) with wine and beer.
Hawksworth, the long-anticipated (try three years) restaurant by star chef David Hawksworth, has finally opened in the Hotel Georgia. Check it out at 801 West Georgia. Reserve by calling 604-673-7000. Browse the menu at HawksworthRestaurant.com.
