1. Les Deux Gamins
"this neighborhood looks a bit sketchy, Mike."
"meh, I've been working out. plus I have a knife on me."

2. Upstairs Jazz Bar & Grill
10:54 PM - "gentlemen, there's a $5 cover charge."
"I thought it was free after 11 PM?"
"oh, yeah, but there's six minutes left. if you want to not pay the cover charge, you could just wait outside for a few minutes then come back in."
"sure thing,…More »
3. Eggspectations Dejeuner & Cafe
I detest puns. You have no idea how much I do. I wanted to hate this place when I heard the name and saw the menu. However, our hotel staff recommended it (also, it was one of the few places open on New Year's Day).
I was wrong.
The food was…More »

we weren't expecting a ton of fun, but it was surprisingly well-put together. a lot of fun and inexpensive - if you carry your student ID card. yes, I may have gradumacated but hey, it's a rough economy out there.

8. Crepes Oh Folie
"geez, Mike, you're still writing reviews for Montreal?"

9. Madhatter Pub
when we first went to Montreal two years ago, we were thinking of going in here for their New Year's Eve. buuuuut...$20 cover charge my ass, so we trudged on and found a place with no cover and $10 pitchers. oh well...
however, on the return tour, we…More »
