Chicha To Launch Brunch Menu; English Bay Cactus Club Concession Stand Finally Open

WEST END — It's official: summer is definitely here as the last of the seasonal outlets finally flings its windows open. Cactus Club's English Bay concession opens today in the West End. Alas, no longer serving Rob Feenie's beach burger or the ling cod taco; now just three tacos are on offer (beef, bean, chicken) for $5 along with sides of salsa, guacamole and chips. [EW]

MAIN STREET —Food, drinks, DJs - you know the score. The Hawkers Market is back on June 28 for its biggest party yet. In a change of venue they are heading up to Maker Labs on Main for a "Main STREAT Food Party" (sic). Tickets are $10 plus fee. [EW]
