It appears I may have found a new hang out. Okay, so I didn’t really find it since The New Bohemian is the creation of Ivo Staiano and Paul Gibbons whom I had the pleasure of knowing from the Balthazar’s days.
When Paul and Ivo invited me to attend their grand opening I could not in good conscience decline 
The New Bohemian is located in the hip and young Kitsilano area of Vancouver, better known for its beaches that are populated by yoga practicing fitness enthusiasts than its fine dining. This restaurant and lounge manages to capture the spirit of Kitsilano’s inhabitants by offering only oceanwise seafood and organic meats.
The decor is lush, with unique wall murals enhanced by warm mood lighting. The New Bohemian features a live DJ performing every Thursday to Sunday evening. Mondays and Tuesdays offer wine connoisseurs a treat with 25% off each bottle and a select food menu to pair with the the red or white of your choice.
I sampled the Organic Beef Burger with Yam Fries ($13) and the Grilled Wild Salmon Sandwich ($14). Both selections were fresh, delicious and moist, the yam fries were a tasty alternative to the average spud variety. For the grand opening, the servers were also floating around with platters containing various complimentary h’ors douerves and a chocolate fondue fountain was set up for the party.
The highlight of the evening was the live entertaining, which consisted of a bongo drummer, fire swallower and a belly dancer, performed by the stunning Arzu. Here’s a video of the main performance that took place outside the patio, the drunk, white chick that can’t dance was not part of the show. As is apparent by our heckling, we were trying to get her out of the way so that we could enjoy Arzu perform.

“You’re not supposed to be in there!”
That’s hilarious. I sure hope she was hammered out of her mind…because it would be way more sad if she was sober.
I am pretty sure she is hammered lol.
At least she’ll have this video to remind herself what an idiot she was while drunk.
It annoys me beyond belief to see that “drunk white chick” as you brilliantly put it, making an absolute pain in the arse of herself with that pathetic bogan shuffle … if it was a guy doing it, he would have had his arse kicked well before then!
“She’s ruining it” nicely said.
Nice attraction…The man did it great although he had sweet disturbance.
