BRUNCH BUNCH

FEBRUARY 29TH, 2008 BRUNCH BUNCH Antidotes to a drizzly Sunday morning:

The New York Times Style Section.

A crazy Saturday night to rehash over Americanos.

A stylish new brunch spot.

Give the greasy spoon a miss and hit Gastown's Social at Le Magasin, where we discovered white tablecloth service, a gorgeous heritage room, a complimentary basket of warm mini scones upon seating and ever-changing selections of bennies, omelettes and salads, featuring spot prawns, Dungeness crab, crispy pork bacon and poached
