Perched in the centre of the Esplanade Riel, the recently opened Chez Sophie sur le Pont offers traditional French cuisine including long-time favourites like boeuf bourguignon, moules et frites and their tartiflette casserole with Trappist cheese. The restaurant and its small attached boutique will remain open all winter long. chezsophie.ca Pop Up Restaurant Mandel Hitzer (Deer + Almond) and Joe Kalturnyk (RAW: Gallery) have taken the idea of pop-up to the next level – by bringing local restaurants to the Red and Assiniboine rivers. Each day of the 21-day event, from breakfast to dinner, was sold out. This year, the duo will be turning it up a notch with a new space with a dining hall and lounge with more seating. The event will also feature award winning chefs from across North America along with their star-studded line up of local chefs. Ticket sales will be available shortly and RAW: Gallery members will receive two weeks advanced notice on ticket sales. www.theforks.com/market dtw | fall/winter 2013 3 memo | news news | memo Taste The Mediterranean Credit: The Forks Warming Huts Stuck in the Middle Since its start in 2010, the international warming hut design contest at The Forks has grown to attract architects from around the globe - including renowned architect Frank Gehry’s firm, who designed a hut back in 2012. This year’s competition winners will once again craft their one-of-a-kind warming huts on The Forks river trail to warm the hands and hearts of Winnipeggers during the city’s cold winter season. warminghuts.com Photographer Bryan Scott of the blog Winnipeg Love Hate and journalist Bartley Kives have come together to publish a new book exploring the geography, design and reputation of the city we sometimes all love to hate. Winnipeg inspires intense and contradictory emotions from residents, visitors and people who have never even ventured within wading distance of the Manitoba capital. The city at the centre of North America inspires a profound sense of ambivalence, stuck as it is between a colourful and triumphant early history, a long period of 20th-Century decline and an uncertain if optimistic future. With vicious honesty and intense affection, Scott and Kives expose Winnipeg’s beautiful and conflicted soul for the rest of the world to admire and detest and ultimately ignore. Renovating a Classic Even a classic Irish pub likes to freshen up once and a while. This past August, Shannon’s Irish Pub & Eatery went through renovation that kept the same great pub feel, but renewed their aesthetics. The pub installed new hickory hard wood flooring, repurposed Church pews have been put in as seating against the main floor walls, and five new pieces of art from 4 Ireland have been installed. You can still choose from over 20 beers on tap to partner up with lunch and dinner favourites such as their Guinness Battered Halibut and Chips and the essential Bangers and Mash. shannonsirishpub.ca Over $200,000 Raised At the 3rd annual CEO Sleepout on September 26, over 100 Winnipeg CEOs, community leaders, and members of the media helped raised over $200,000 for Change for the Better. These funds go toward employment programs to help people who are homeless get into housing and transition into permanent employment. Participants spent the night outdoors at Portage and Main to raise awareness as well as funds to address issues of homelessness and poverty in our city. “The CEO Sleepout was an energizing experience and a tremendous opportunity to make a real difference in our community,” said Marilyn McLaren, President & CEO, Manitoba Public Insurance. “By working together towards a common goal, even the largest challenges can be overcome.” Donations will continue to be accepted for Change for the Better at changeforthebetter.org. Those in search of a quick bite for lunch downtown have a whole range of flavours to choose from - East Indian, Ethiopian, Asian, Italian and many more – and the Taste of Mediterranean has now joined in with Greek and Middle Eastern food. Taste of Mediterranean offers a bright and casual eat-in or takeout experience that allows guest to see their meals prepared right in front of them. Quick service and generous portions of popular platters like gyros, shawarma, falafel and souvlaki make them a welcome addition to the downtown lunch lineup. tasteofthemediterranean.com Selfish Roll your way into SelFISH on Broadway to satisfy those sushi cravings.

Their new website, timetolivehere. ca, details not just a full list of the amenities you’d be moving closer to, but also features links to some of the finest housing options that Winnipeg’s most dynamic area has to offer. Downtown’s selection of condos, condo rentals and apartments is as varied and exciting as the area itself – whether you picture yourself entertaining friends in a loft in one of the Exchange District’s historic buildings, or looking out over the city from the LUCAS TILL What was the strangest place you shot a scene? We shot a club scene that was supposed to be a massive underground New York club, and we shot it in a warehouse that was actually an old sugar beet factory, that was cool. balcony of a new highrise, there are options for almost every need and budget, whether you want to buy or rent. Think about it – no more shovelling. No more yard work. Because your back yard is now the thriving hub of the city’s business community by day, and the centre of one of Canada’s best arts scenes at night. Leave your car in the parkade and walk five minutes to the Winnipeg Art Gallery, the MTS Centre, or any one of the city’s hottest clubs or pubs. It’s time to get out of your car and into your city. It’s time to live here. Visit timetolivehere.ca for more information about living downtown. Credit: Rejean Brandt Let’s be frank: the inside of your car isn’t that interesting. So why do you spend so much time there? Think about it, you’re battling traffic to get to the office. You’re doing the same thing to get home. You have to drive to get to Jets games, concerts, art openings, to check out the city’s best restaurants and to take part in any of Winnipeg’s renowned festivals. Maybe it’s time for a change. Maybe it’s time to try living somewhere where you can leave your car parked, since almost everything you need is in walking distance. Maybe it’s time to consider downtown. This summer, Winnipeg was the backdrop for the upcoming movie Strings, starring Josh Duhamel, Lucas Till of the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past, and Kherington Payne of So You Think You Can Dance and Fame. We caught up with Kherington and Lucas to find out about their time filming in the city: Which would you pick - Winnipeg summer or Winnipeg winter? I wasn’t here for the winter, but I’ve heard things so I’ll take the summer! What was your favourite place to go for dinner or a drink? I didn’t hit Rudy’s until recently, but I really like it – I think it’s my favourite – love the food and the atmosphere. And Hermano’s! What’s something you’ll miss? The nice people! KHERINGTON PAYNE Tea, coffee or cocktails? Cocktails! Gin & tonic is my go-to. For caffeine, I’ve grown fond of Tim Horton’s! We don’t have that in LA. Favourite place to go for a drink in the city? We’ve been liking Fox & Fiddle, BOA, and Whiskey Dix – those are my top 3! What was your favourite purchase in the city? A little black dress I got in the Exchange at a cute little boutique! On the sale rack, one left, in my size! It was meant to be. What was the earliest you had to get up? 7AM call was the earliest – but then we moved to night shoots. And at a certain point, late kind of becomes early! We’d do a 14-hour shoot, so you’d only get a little sleep. So that call might be 10AM, but you’d only get to bed at 3AM. What’s something you’ll miss: The people. The people are incredibly nice here, you don’t run into people like that in LA! I’ll miss that and the vibe – I got to know my way around even though I’ve only been here for a little while. Credit: Rejean Brandt downtown living ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN METRO q & a | memo Check out Kherington on page 42 as part of our Dance Downtown fall fashion section dtw | fall/winter 2013 7 menu | revolving revolving | menu Restauranteur Noel Bernier is fully aware of the lofty expectations as he reopens the city’s iconic revolving restaurant as Prairie 360 after a closure of five years. A NEW SPIN ON A FAMILIAR VIEW 8 dtw | fall/winter 2013 “It’s almost a civic responsibility to do this right,” he acknowledges. So great care and thought went into the process of transforming the restaurant. Renovations started only this summer, but Bernier started pursuing the space almost four years ago. “There was a story about us in the newspaper the day we opened our first restaurant, Hermanos, and it also mentioned the closing of the revolving restaurant. So it was really the day we opened Hermanos that we started to think about it.” To Bernier, Prairie 360 is about celebrating who we are and where we hail from. “Prairie 360 is about us. There’s a real tendency in Winnipeg and in human nature to celebrate elsewhere. We wanted to build a restaurant that was a reflection of Winnipeg and the people of this city and of this province. So we asked ourselves how we could communicate that.” dtw | fall/winter 2013 9 revolving | mode The task started with the menu. Chef Alfonso Maury was asked to take diners on a food journey that reflected who Manitobans are. Maury’s interpretation of that theme takes diners back through local history as they move through their meal. Appetizers are riffs on traditional cultural dishes that reflect the multiculturalism of Manitoba today. That means a Portuguese dish, an East Indian dish, and a Filipino dish, among others, make the menu. Entrees are intended to evoke the era of the hunter-farmer in the early 20th and late 19th century. “This place was at its heart a pioneer town,” says Bernier. “So there’s a lot of wild game, and dishes with a hearty rustic nature.” That includes venison, stews and a range of elk, beef, and Cornish game hen from the grill. Bernier is looking forward in particular to seeing people try the Bison Prosciutto Perogies, done in a style almost akin to a large ravioli. Renovations are meant to convey that sense of place as well, striving for a feel that is elevated, but not pretentious. That means no white linen tablecloths or elaborate chandeliers (save one left up for nostalgia in the lounge), but instead solid wood furniture with simple lines, and floors and walls in blues and golds that reflect the prairie sun, sky, fields and rivers. Bars and walls are set with blocks of limestone from the same quarry north of the city that supplied the stone for the building’s exterior. And little touches of prairie are everywhere – from waving grasses on the glass of the light fixtures to the names of Manitoba towns like Dauphin and Steinbach etched on dividers. The second, smaller upper revolving level has been similarly refreshed, but plans are much different for it. The space will not be reopened as a regular dining area, but rather kept as an intimate event space available for private bookings. The space also has a future as part of some unique dining experiences Prairie 360 plans to offer – including a romantic package of dinner for two with a single table set up, a 5-course meal, wine selection, and private butler to serve you. A level below the revolving dining rooms, two lounges with two different atmospheres are housed. The whiskey lounge is hunter inspired, featuring leather walls adorned with Manitoba game like deer and antelope, wingback chairs and a granite bar. “We wanted a bit of a frontier feel to it,” says Bernier. But the real draw to the room sits behind the granite-topped bar – a selection of 150 whiskies. “We’re trying to include as much local as possible. We don’t make wine here, but we do make whiskey. We have a whiskey past. The feel of it goes hand-in-hand with that pioneer spirit.” Extensive as the list of 150 whiskies is, it’s just the start – over time, they hope to grow their offerings to 250 or 300 varieties. Across the lobby is a second lounge called the recital room, where with a touch of nostalgia, the design has remained closest to the original revolving restaurant. Below an original chandelier sits a grand piano where live music will be played, creating a comfortable, softer atmosphere for drinks before or after dinner. Come summer, a third space will form part of the lounge level – a spacious rooftop patio where diners can take in the spectacular views of the city with no glass in their way. “The lighting changes minute by minute. When people are here during the day, they say ‘It must be so spectacular at night,’ and when they’re here at night they can’t wait to come back and see it during the day!” says Bernier. And a lot has changed in the view since this space was last open, Bernier points out. “The Hydro building was built, the Museum for Human Rights – you can even see the lights of the stadium jumbotron from here on game nights! It’s hugely significant what’s happened.” And they can’t wait to open their doors and become a part of it again. “We’re ready, we think the city’s ready for it, and we can’t wait to show it off.” prairie360.ca LiquorMarts.ca dtw | fall/winter 2013 11 Credit: Leif Norman 2 F U L L D AY S 2013 RESOLUTIONS 2 FUN NIGHTS s n o i t a r inspi By Shayna Wiwierski Where in the world did 2013 go?

A wall of windows frosted on the lower half allows privacy while letting ample natural light in to the openplan kitchen, living and dining areas. The larger of two bedrooms is used as the master suite, while the second has been converted to a bright and welcoming office with access to a small deck outside. Kosowan and her husband fell for the space in its original state, and kept their renovations to a minimum – changing a door here, a window there – and instead focused their attention on furnishings and decor that would bring their personalities to the space. “When you walk in, what you see and feel is a collection of our life experience,” says Kosowan, a statement that holds true from the largest piece of furniture to the smallest accessory. And that includes many pieces that have their own Winnipeg history. 18 dtw | fall/winter 2013 dtw | fall/winter 2013 21 19 mode | condo condo | mode Visitors who want to sit and take off their shoes can do so on a 90-year-old pew in the entryway that comes from Kosowan’s family church. “It was one of the original pews from the church where my parents were married and where my brother and I were baptized – they had some in storage and I made a donation to them and was able to acquire one.” The sofa – a purchase from The Bay downtown – is faced by two retrochic chairs in a style known as the Winnipeg chairs. “The story goes that there was a prof at the University of Manitoba architecture faculty named A.J. Donahue. Around 1950, he had his students help design these chairs out of molded wood, and over time they 363 Broadway An exclusive opportunity to brand one of Winnipeg’s most prominent properties on Broadway. suites 1500 & 1600 26,054 sf of contiguous top floor office space Panoramic views of winnipeg’s business district CONTACT: Opposite: Sofa from The Bay downtown Chris vodrey director, leasing 204-632-9500 [email protected] Karen lund regional general Manager 204-632-9500 [email protected] Above: One of two rare Winnipeg chairs Top left: Decorative daschunds Wilfred and Laurier (Laurier in pearls) keep watch by the sofa Bottom left: Entryway pew, acquired from the family church Morguard iNvestMeNts liMited Photography by: Ian McCausland 1400– 363 Broadway, winnipeg, Manitoba r3C 3N9 MORGUARD.COM dtw | fall/winter 2013 21 got nicknamed the Donahue chairs or the Winnipeg chairs.” Originally sold at The Bay for $35, the chairs are now considered collector’s items. “My understanding is there’s not a lot of them left – somewhere between 200 and 2,000,” says Kosowan, who acquired the chairs several years apart and had the upholstery redone (the original chairs were designed in colours like mustard, lime green, and orange). The sleek white dining chairs also have their own local history. “These were actually cafeteria chairs from Winnipeg’s Mint – and they also happen to be from the same company that made the chairs used in the original pilot of Star Trek.” Every piece is chosen with the same care that they chose their location with. What Kosowan loves about the home they’ve built is being in the heart of it all. “What I like is that it is rare for me to start the car during the week – I can walk to work, go to my drugstore, go to my fitness or yoga class, I can take in some live music, meet somebody for a drink, all those things without having to move the car. And eventually will see a day where I might not have to do it at all. With a little more critical mass, even more amenities will come to the downtown core. Looking for your own place downtown?

The restaurant also offers a flavourful menu with favourites such as California blackened chicken 36 dtw | fall/winter 2013 sandwich and their house-made Shark burger fully loaded with bacon, mushroom, cheeses and more. Drink options include a selection of beer from some of the best breweries around the world to delicious cocktails, martinis and daily specials. The bar also televises all Jets games, CFL and NFL games, and pay-per-view events. “A lot more people are coming out and finding out who we are,” says DaCunha. “It’s a nice entertainment spot and we see a lot of foot traffic especially when concerts or Jets games are on.” The Shark Club has 140 slot machines, some with a chance to win big jackpots, plus Blackjack tables and Roulette, which see full houses of players daily with crowds hovering around them to see if anyone has hit it big. Customers can also use their player cards and gain points and rewards while they play. Located in the heart of the Sports, Hospitality, and Entertainment district (SHED), the Shark Club is helping the revitalization efforts of downtown Winnipeg. “Downtown is so vital and critical to the well-being of our city,” says DaCunha. “When you talk about going to the next level, and being top of mind for a night out, we’re bringing people downtown and giving them a really unique experience here.” With seating for 500 people in both the restaurant and gaming room, the Shark Club is helping create that experience with an energetic atmosphere, a bevy of drink and food, and a chance to win big. DANCERS DOWNTOWN Inspired by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s annual outdoor dance downtown, we asked dancers living in and visiting Winnipeg to take fall fashion out for a spin on the streets. Photography by Rejean Brandt “I’m quite passionate about what we are and what we are doing,” says DaCunha. “We are giving a great option in this city to come out and experience something new in entertainment.” Shark Club is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. sharkclubs.com dtw | fall/winter 2013 37 BUILD market | dancers dancers | market THE TUK TUK DRIVER L.

Using Winnipeg’s prairie winter as the backdrop, Big Fun showcases the wealth of Manitoba’s artists alongside our historic downtown. Incorporating various genres of music, Big Fun takes the shows out of overused bars and clubs, occupying galleries, lofts, and warehouse spaces instead to create an entirely new event experience. bigfunfestival.com Now – January 5 Winnipeg Art Gallery A Prairie Christmas Celebration November 30 Centennial Concert Hall Christmas Story December 20 – January 5 Prairie Theatre Exchange Jane Eyre January 9 – February 1 Manitoba Theatre Centre Pink January 14 MTS Centre Wonderful Wedding Show January 18 – 19 Winnipeg Convention Centre 44 February 4 Kum Koon Garden Romeo & Juliet, RWB November 30 – April 27 Winnipeg Art Gallery Portage & Munsch – 50 Below Chinese New Year February 9 Centennial Concert Hall The Mathematics of Art Dec 13 Burton Cummings Theatre January 23 – February 9 Prairie Theatre Exchange Larry the Cable Guy November 21 – December 14 Manitoba Theatre Centre JP Hoe Hoe Hoe Holiday Show Chelsea Hotel: The songs of Leonard Cohen February 12 – 16 Centennial Concert Hall Festival Of Trees And Lights November 26 – December 8, 2013 Mardi Gras February 14 – 15 Winnipeg Convention Centre This festival fills the gallery of Manitoba Hydro Place with exquisitely decorated Christmas trees, wreaths, and gingerbread houses.
