The Tipper Restaurant & Review Room, 2066 Kingsway (at Victoria), continues its Saturday Night Concert Series with live music by Highrise Lonesome tonight. If you come for a bite of dinner first, come early, as the restaurant is small and can be busy. Or a personal favourite that is close by and within walking distance is the Green Lettuce Restaurant, 1949 Kingsway. The food is a mix of Asian cuisines (Indian and Chinese) and pretty delicious from personal experience and reports by others.  Doors open at 7:00 p.m. at the Tipper Restaurant & Review Room and the show gets going at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $10.

South Hill Neighbours invite you to a Community Dance at the Moberly Arts & Cultural Centre February 1st from 6:30 – 9:30 pm. Moberly Arts & Cultural Centre, if you don’t know it, is a great little community hall located in SE Vancouver at Prince Albert Street & 60th. It has been recently renovated and will soon see the return of the Baker’s Market. This is a great facility that hosts live theatre, dance groups, culinary artists, painters, orchestras and more.  Outdoors they are growing herbs and are starting a food garden with native edible plants in the Spring.

This weekend though it is all about the dance. You, your family, neighbours and friends are invited to come out and dance. Or if you aren’t that great at dancing, come out and learn to dance. Dancing will be led by Basil Houtman who we’ve learnt has experience leading community dances.   He will be sure to get everyone up dancing.  No dance partner required, just show up and get ready to have some fun. This is a free event that gets under this Saturday at 6:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided.

Each of the evenings, music begins at 8:00 p.m., but doors open at 7:15 p.m. Reservations are not available, so either come early for dinner and grab your seat, or come and have a drink while you watch the show.  Cost of show is $10 at the door or pay what you can.  The Tipper Restaurant and Review Room is located at 2066 Kingsway at Victoria Drive.
