trying to help daughter pick travel destination with new boyfriend, i’m thinking canada but which city is best
daughter is 26 has traveled europe and most major us cities, looking for fun, certainly but culturally stimulating too. Love canadians, would that be a cool destination late summer?
depends on what she likes best. Vancouver has a lot of nature so if she is outdoorsy then thats the best place for her. It has beaches, lots of parks, and mountains that have snow in winter so she can ski or snowboard. Also has a large asian population so theres great sushi and dim sum etc..
Toronto is nice, more culturally diverse than vancouver and a bigger city….kinda a smaller version of new york.Better shopping, good food. Not as much nature tho.
Montreal is cool cos you have the whole french vibe as well..its more european so if she enjoyed europe she would like it here. There’s mont tremblant nearby for skiing in the winter
Halifax is nice but smaller than all those cities ive mentioned. Its got a lot of students with the uni so theres a lot of young people. Nova Scotia is very beautiful, so its a good base to explore that area further.
Theres also calgary , which is about an hr or 2 from the rockies. But apart from the close proximity to there, i didnt like the city too much…but maybe thats just me.
My personal fave was vancouver…its laid back, the weather isnt as extreme as the other parts of canada and i like the nature. People are friendly too and i always felt safe there.
Tell her to have fun

I would guess that is the maximum number of people that can be seated at the particular table. Some square tables that are usually set for four people have leaves or flaps folded under the edge of the table that will make a round table and then the table could seat 6 or 8 people.
So when you make a reservation and tell them there will be 4 people, possibly 5 for dinner they know to seat you at a table that can accommodate more than 4 people. If you make the reservation for 2 and tell them there may be one more joining you they know that you can be seated at a table that does not need to be expanded.
