  • THE MACM GETS NOCTURNAL

    TAG : 5-a-7 art macm museum music Night Life
    Posted by : Brendan Murphy in What to Do

    In a city like Montreal that gives residents and visitors alike more nightlife options than there are darkly lit hours in the day, it often takes a unique idea to grab people’s attention. The MACM’s “Vendredi Nocturne” is managing to do exactly that… … More

  • Nuit Blanche = All-nighter.

    TAG : art Nuit Blanche
    Posted by : Tamy Emma Pepin in What to See

    In life, there are two types of nuit blanche:

    1) The ones spent at McGill University, playing the “how much last-minute information can I cram in my brain” game – scarcely fun.

    2) The ones spent gallivanting between countless exhibitions, parties, shows and free bus rides during Montreal’s now famous High Lights Festival – abundantly fun.

    Now technically, I could think of a third type of all-nighter, but a girl tries to keep her amazing job when she’s got one. All you need remembering is that in terms of awesome, nuit blanche #2 is comparable to nuit blanche #3.

  • Sexy Theater: The Mid-Life Crisis of Dionysys

    TAG : art plateau theatre
    Posted by : Daniel Baylis in What to Do

    Last week I was wandering the streets of Montréal and my eyes fell upon the poster for “The Mid-Life Crisis of Dionysus.” As you can see, the graphic for this unique theatrical experience features a bunch of nude hotties touching each other. Naturally, my interest peeked.

    Check out how you can get some of this smorgasborgiastic extraspectaculaganza theater action while you are in Montréal…

  • TIFFANY LIGHTS UP MONTRÉAL’S MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS

    TAG : design exhibition Fine Arts
    Posted by : Tamy Emma Pepin in What to Do

    Aaah, Tiffany. Most of us became acquainted with Louis C. Tiffany around the same time we could read. Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating a little, but you know what I mean. Audrey Hepburn, the diamonds, the pearls, playing in your mom’s closet….common knowledge.

    But perhaps you aren’t that familiar with Tiffany’s groundbreaking contribution to glass design, technique and technology. No? Neither am I. Hey, no shame in my game.

    Comes in the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to take care of my lustrous education with their brand new exhibit, Tiffany Glass: A Passion for Colour. … More

    If you’ve ever had a gay bone in your body, or if you’ve ever wanted one, then you’ll most definitely want to get yourself to Montreal on February 27.  Madonna’s Jailbait, Jesus Luz, will be spinning all sorts of delicious gay anthems at Montreal’s largest gay club, Unity. It is bound to be a dance-a-licious gay fest. … More

  • FESTIVAL MONTRÉAL EN LUMIÈRE: GET YOUR WINTER GROOVE ON

    TAG :
    Posted by : Daniel Baylis in What to Do

    I’m not going to lie to you – Montréal often lives up to its reputation for a chilly winter. But Montréalers are resilient people, and refuse to be cooped up in their homes for the frosty months. There are certain events that help us get outdoors, and Festival Montréal en Lumière (‘Montréal Highlights Festival’ in English) is one of the biggest.

    Set to heat up the city from February 18 – 28, the annual event links gastronomy, culture and creative ways to party!

  • DRINKS AT THE HOTEL LE ST-JAMES

    TAG : 5-a-7 cocktails old montreal
    Posted by : Brendan Murphy in What to Do

    Located in Old Montreal, the Hotel Le St-James is certainly in the running for this city’s nicest hotel. At the very least, it’s where Madonna and The Rolling Stones stay when they’re in town (the Stones, apparently, rent the entire hotel when they do). When meeting up with several of my fellow Montreal Tourism Insiders, only a place with this degree of swankitude would do… … More

    Posted by : Daniel Baylis

    Montréal is fairly well known throughout the homoverse as being a pretty gay place. But not everything in the city is so cut and dry. Some things are clearly gay, like the gay village, but other things exist in sexual ambiguity.

    Here are 10 Montréal things that gravitate towards the gay end of the pool. … More

  • MONTRÉAL HIGH LIGHTS FESTIVAL AND FERREIRA CAFÉ

    Posted by : k_rollet in Where to Eat

    Montreal is known for hosting a lot of festivals — there are over 85 different ones throughout the year! My personal favourite is the Montreal High Lights Festival, which showcases live performances, outdoor activities and fine dining. The featured country this year is Portugal, the city is New Orleans and the region is the Eastern Townships — all amazing places for high quality food and talented chefs. … More
