Oh that's actually not too bad. If you can get to a Metro station easily then you're a short ride to downtown. And there's always Uber. Definitely check out Old Montreal! I went to Notre Dame basilica for the first time when I was there a couple weeks ago, what a sight!

Yeah looks like I'm a couple blocks from two orange line stations. Definitely doing some exploring Saturday.

Heck I could probably walk to Notre Dame basilica from where I am staying, it looks about a mile or so. Not sure how pedestrian-friendly that part of the city is.

Yeah you could walk there for sure, based on your vague description of where you're staying lol.


edit: all the shopping and more touristy stuff is on and around Rue St. Catherine. Old Montreal (which is also touristy) is a couple short blocks south of that.

Make sure to enjoy the crumbling infrastructure and Quebecois that make people from Alabama seem progressive.

Pro tip: Forget the "tourist" stuff, and just indulge in Quebec's most famous export. Loose women that take it in the A.

You're a pedestrian at your own risk in this city bud.

Taxis, buses and cyclists don't give a fuck. Actually it really is the cyclists to watch for because they don't obey the rules of the road or those of the people on the sidewalk

If you like Beer you should go to Le Saint-Bock:

or "Dieu Du Ciel":

Dieu du ciel is on Laurier so you can also find a cool restaurant in those parts called "El Zaziummm":

Obviously for house music go to Stereo.

Other good eats are Joe Beef (sometimes hard to get in though because they are somewhat famous) and of course smoked meat joints!

Have a good time here and try to avoid hitting a pot-hole so big your insurance wont cover the damage to your car!

Damn, missing you by a few weeks or else I'd invite you for a beer. Have fun!

Yeah. My friend made the reso. She works for a consulting firm and they've had client dinners there, etc. Everything we ordered was fucking bomb. The foie gras holy shit.

"Bagels Etc" is also a cool place for breakfast after a night of boozing and general ridiculous behavior.
