the restaurant is accessible
often takes no more than a
phone call to ask if the estab-

enhance the pleasure of the
event,

Not only have more restau-
rants become more accessible
but getting to the restaurant
of your choice has also

become easier. Public trans:
port in the form of level
entrance buses, buses with
lifts, and taxis with ramps have
made it easier to dine out
beyond one’s own neighbor:
hood, For many the car is still
the best means of getting
around. Small scooters and

a ee

lightweight wheelchairs which
can casily be folded and lifted
into the « car by a dining com-
panion have — contributed
greatly to our abilities to get
out and enjoy all that life has
to offer,

If you are stil in doubt

dining pleasure, the BC
Coalition of People with
Disabilities (875-0188) can
provide you with a listing of
accessible restaurants, among
other sites and accommoda-
tion, from their book
“Accessible Vancouver.”
Unfortunately, it doesn’t list
restaurants Outside Vancouver.

And if you find you're faced
with dliticulty i in accessing a
restaurant, call and let the
owner know, It may not have
been brought to their atten-
tion and they may be able to
provide alternatives for you or
you may help introduce a
change for the benefit of many
athers, Bon Appetite!

requiring a second probing
question, “Gee,” he respond-
ed, “I think so, | mean, why
wouldn't it be?” Asking B if
there are stairs to get into the
restaurant or to get to the din-
ing area may elicit a more con-
crete response,

Getting in to the restaurant
is not the only condition
which may influence the
enjoyment of dining out.
There is a general rule I have
heard which suggests you can’
tell which restaurant will go
out of their way by the flourish
with which they hold open
doors. Being provided with a
suitable position in the restau-
rant is also a consideration.
While arriving at a restaurant
with your own seat seems to
be offering the utmost in con-
venience to the owner, not all
view it that way. Don’t let an
insecure maitre d” place you by”
the kitchen but quietly insist
