Tourism videos about
a 48-hour
culinary tour and also local ethnic
restaurants.
SINCE THERE ARE MORE RESTAURANTS PER
CAPITA in Montreal than in ANY OTHER North American city, the
choices seem unlimited. Don't miss this Montreal Tourism video
about the city's restaurant diversity, architecture, shopping and
festivals. You can also learn a lot about the
local food scene at the Montreal Chowhound
website. Exciting evelopments include
eateries opened by two of Montreal's best restauranteurs: Brasserie
t and F
Bar. They are next door to each other in the Quartier
des spectacles, the new heart of cultural Montreal. Also, we have discovered the joys of
the amazing Bixi bike
sharing system. Don't miss this Montreal Tourism video
about Bixi. Another discovery is the American Women's Club
of Montreal (nearly 100 years old) and also a new (2010) MeetUp group
American
Women in Montreal.
FOR A CHANGE OF PACE we go to the Latin
Quarter, which, like in Paris, is jammed with students. Drinking beer in
the huge terrace at St.Sulpice
is required, as is tea at Camellia
Sinensis. Some say the best
hamburger in town is at the tiny La Paryse in the Latin Quarter.
In November 2011 this
marvelous homage to Montreal was published by Chantelle Grady with
wonderful content and photography. I love the information from locals on
what they love most about the city. Wow!
SO WHEREVER YOUR ITINERARY TAKES YOU. Montreal
will not disappoint. In the summer this is a city of festivals
including International
Jazz Fest, Just for Laughs,
& Montreal World
Film Fest.
There are too many others to list, but you can find them here.
Other great summer outdoor activities include Montreal
Bike Fest and Tour la Nuit, Montreal
Grand Prix, and International
Fireworks Festival to name a few. What more can I say? This is an
absolutely marvelous city! Come see for yourself. We can rendezvous if
the time is right.
BUT DON'T STOP HERE. Keep going to see more photos of the
province of Quebec. In 2008 Quebec City celebrated its 400th
year.
