    TAG : 5-a-7 drinks food Night Life st-laurent
    Posted by : Brendan Murphy in What to Do

    People flock to St-Laurent, aka The Main, because it’s non-stop nightlife. But there are times that even the most committed party people need to take a quick detour to recalibrate their evening. Reservoir is the perfect place for that… … More

  • THE MACM GETS NOCTURNAL

    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

  • MOVIE NIGHT AT A MONTRÉAL CINEMA

    TAG : Cinema downtown plateau mont-royal restaurants things to do
    Posted by : Tamy Emma Pepin in What to Do

    Last Sunday, in the middle of being hit by a bus of awkward during Music by Prudence’s Oscar acceptance speech , I realized….I have never talked to you about cinema theatres in Montreal!

    I have never mentioned film in this blog. *gasp*

    I wish I could tell you I’m pulling an Oprah and giving you all free ticks to see Alice in Wonderland to forgive me, but that’s not happening. For now.

    What I can do however, is provide you with a very useful list of places where you can watch a movie in Montreal. Aaaaaand, I’m also adding a bunch of personal suggestions of things to do near every cinema, so you can have the perfect movie date in Montreal! … More

  • WHERE TO BUY JEANS... À LA MONTRÉAL

    TAG : boutique fashion mile end shopping style
    Posted by : Daniel Baylis in What to Do

    If you are anything like me, the thought of shopping for new blue jeans is about appealing as licking a flagpole in the Montréal winter.

    This retail resistance changed last week when I had a soul-shaking-denim-fashion-epiphany at a Blue Jean shop in my neighborhood.

    Here’s how you can have your own transcendental experience… … More

  • SMOKE A STOGIE: 4 CIGAR LOUNGES IN MONTRÉAL

    TAG : drink list lounge
    Posted by : Daniel Baylis in What to Do

    “Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal and a good woman – or a bad woman; it depends on how much happiness you can handle.”

    - George Burns

    Despite the shift towards “healthier living,” Montréal has retained its affection for smoking.  It is not uncommon for a local to have a brisk afternoon jog on Mount Royal, and then, come evening, light up a cigarette on a breezy summer terrace. It’s all part of our joie de vivre.

    A cigar can make you feel like a million bucks – a fella can quickly appear to be a stoic political hero, while a woman takes on the essence of a gold medal champ. So it’s only natural to kick up your heels when you are on a getaway, and savor the sweet taste of leisure and success.

    Here are four options where you can light up a stogie in Montréal… … 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
