Canadians: Now taking over happy hour, too
Our neighbors to the north forge ahead in their relentless imperialist pursuits.
Canadians: Now taking over happy hour, too
Last week, in conversation with Scott Schroeder, newly-minted Southwark exec/hot-wife-haver Nick Macri confirmed what we've all long suspected: even though they can't even properly protect their own syrup supply, Canadians think they're better than us.
Now, their relentless imperialist pursuit apparently threatens happy hour as we know it: starting today, the (Canadian) chef at Noir (1909 E. Passyunk Ave.) is busting out a new and "improved" (read: Canada-themed) happy hour from 5 to 7 p.m. that replaces our sacred citywide special with a version that's distinctly un-American. You guessed it: $5 for a Molson and a shot of Canadian Club. And they're calling it the O'Canada, which looks Irish to us, but let's not confuse the issue.
Oh, and apps are half-price during those hours, too. What's that you say? There's nothing Canadian about appetizers? Tell that to your price-slashed poutine. And maybe start training yourself to sleep with one eye open, eh?
