Montreal seems to have something for everyone - this is your city if you're into drinking, smoking, partying, women, men, anything really - but it holds a special place in its heart for Jazz. Personally, I love Jazz, and I can think of not much more thrilling then enjoying world-class Jazz licks on a hot summery night. Thankfully, Montreal has the same idea - the Festival International De Jazz De ...
If you were to imagine the atmosphere of a place called 'Kafein' based solely on it's name, the mental picture you paint would probably not be so far off from the reality of the so-named lounge here in Montreal.

Hot on the heels of my little Grand Prix preview, here's a quick note on Montreal's "wackiest" festival. I'm talking, of course, about the St Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival .

Tsatziki ...
Wow - it's upon us already. The weekend where tourists flood Crescent Street bars and locals get as far away from downtown as possible. Okay, that makes the whole thing sound bad, doesn't it? Not so, but it's certainly not a week for the faint-of-heart.
Once a year, the F1 and its entourage come to Montreal for the Grand Prix du Canada. This entourage consists ...
When I first moved to Montreal, I remember gazing at the skyline at night from a distance away on the highway. There were four strong spotlights sweeping across the sky in four directions from on top of the tallest I could see. I thought it was amazing. I soon found out that those spotlights were directly above of Altitude 737, known to Montrealers as one of the swankiest clubs ...
