The folks at De Dutch Pannekoek House in New West are certainly in the Halloween spirit.
The restaurant, located in Columbia Square, is continuing a tradition of decorating for the holidays.
“We put up a bunch of stuff – spiders and ghosts and. It looks really good,” said Kaan Bulubay, who works at the restaurant. “Before a really big holiday, we like to decorate. It’s fun.”
Bulubay said customers enjoy the holiday décor.
“We do this for Halloween, Easter, Christmas,” he said. “They love it. A lot of them take pictures in front of things.”
Landmark cinemas gives back
The New West Film Fest is pleased with the support it’s receiving from Landmark Cinemas.
This year’s festival is taking place at Landmark 10 New Westminster from Oct. 19 to 21.
“They have been a fantastic resource, very supportive of the community in trying to promote arts and festivals. They have been behind the festival every step of the way. I have been very impressed with that,” said Karen Smecher, a director with the film festival. “They have been very proactive, they really help us out. They go above and beyond.”
Food service expands to New West
A food-prep business is expanding its meal-kit delivery service into New Westminster.
Fresh Prep, a Vancouver-based meal kit service founded in 2014, is now available in 16 municipalities across Metro Vancouver. The service has been available to some New West residents for the past couple of months, but is now available citywide.
“We know first-hand that when life gets busy, the last thing people want to do is head to the grocery store and gather ingredients for a home-cooked meal,” said Fresh Prep co-founder Husein Rahemtulla in a press release. “Fresh Prep is excited to bring hardworking people delicious meals right to their door, helping them maintain healthy lifestyles amongst life’s daily demands.”
Fresh Prep’s chef- and nutritionist-designed meals are created so they can be ready in under 30 minutes. A variety of plans are available.
“Being able to bring Fresh Prep to a broader customer base showcases that people are benefiting and enjoying the service we offer,” said co-founder Dhruv Sood. “We designed our service to fit your lifestyle – from quick cook times to convenient delivery schedules we easily integrate into your daily routine.”
