Well, here we are again. My first posts on this site were about places to go have a bite to eat and watch hockey on TV. Now, I thought I'd start a whole thread on the new edition of "les Glorieux"! It's a major attraction in this city, and a passionate topic of conversation for fans.
As training camp starts (I went to a rookie camp practice yesterday!), ...
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 ...

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 .
About 100 different shows, varying from modern dance to standup comedy, stopping off at the undescribably bizarre along the way. This festival is "un-curated". This means that rather than proposing a show ...
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 ...
This is another great perks living in Montreal, every year the city's museums are open house and free of admission!

Be warned that there is a current transportation strike from the STM (Montreal's ...
One thing about Montreal I've always marvelled at is the prevalence of Arab culture in pockets of the city, a culture which manages to be self-sustaining while still avoiding any cultural disconnect from the larger city and culture. If you've been around the Concordia University ghetto area, you know what I'm talking about.
The Arab tradition of smoking a 'Shisha' (water-pipe) has been successfuly implanted into the cultural make-up of Montreal, ...
Starting early May, there is a summer long gathering at the foot of Mount-Royal which attracts thousands each year. Musicians gather in groups to beat on their drums in an event that promotes freedom of artistic expression, mostly in form of music, dance and unique merchandise. The event always takes place on Sundays from noon to early evening.
Mount-Royal park and adjacent Jeanne-Mance park are filled with hundreds of locals and ...
You'll never find a better place who will serve orange juice like the Julep does. We don't really know what's in the famous mix, but you know that orange juice like this is only found here in Montreal.
Located just off the Decarie highway, the Orange Julep is hard to miss. Like a beacon in the Montreal sky, the gigantic, three story "orange ball" will draw you in whether you know ...
Saint Sulpice is a fabulous bar for its atmosphere, particularly thanks to its grande terrace; it actually has the biggest terrace in Montreal. It has become like a second home to many francophones since it is in such close proximity to french universities; the bar is typically filled with a young crowd of students. You can feel a fun, casual aura as you walk in.
Beer isn't super expensive, but it's ...
