Commercial Drive Brunch Crawl 2015

On February 1, 2015 we presented the sixth crawl in a series of neighborhood brunch crawls in this 2nd year of our brunch crawl series we produced and presented with the Commercial Drive BIA and Tourism Vancouver for their Dine Out Festival. This event was a super success for all who attended. Participants had a chance to visit several restaurants through-out the Commercial Drive neighborhood and taste all sorts of dishes on this unique food crawl.

Our registration spot was at Famoso Pizzeria where guests lined-up outside and once inside, Parallel 49 Brewing was serving up tasters of their beer for everyone to start the brunch tour.
