Ice cream!!!

This bright little shop is a walk-in walk-out situation and when I went there on a Saturday afternoon was MOBBED with eager kids and their parents.

The proprietors, dressed in cute striped uniforms, had the patience of saints while the…More »

Arriving at the Fonderie Darling, I passed through the end of the historical Vieux Montreal and into a factory-converted-to gallery enclave.

Although the FD was closed to accept and set up a new exhibit, I spoke with two very helpful and friendly…More »

I forgot this is in the anglophone part of Montreal. So when I ordered in French (like I had been trained to do over the past few days) the very weird server kept replying in English -- the opposite of how things were in the rest of town. Ah, the…More »

"clearly you can see she is going to masturbate her after she has already done so herself!"

Despite these overzealous art fans freaking out the guard with their finger pointing at soft places depicted in the painting, it was a very cool layout to the…More »

"This would be good, nay amazing, if I were drunk."

Got the warning/rec from Ad and she was spot on. It's a perfectly fine, heavy dish and you shouldn't get anything else. A thin gravy covers cheese curds over browned fries (should we call them…More »

These were my notes, and honestly, I think it's all you need to know:

Divey student tourist bar.
Outdoor seating.
Fine well drinks.
Washroom surprisingly clean.
Gotta love Canadians.

This place is ridiculous and awesome. It's Christmas ALL. THE. TIME!

The staff wear kicky green vests over red shirts and are as happy as anyone you can think of who is obsessed with Christmas.

I have to say, in attempting to buy my dad an (inside joke…More »

It's been a while, but I'm going to just say it: foie gras is better than sex.

And this foie gras was a world apart. Transcendent. The last time I had it this good was at my 23 birthday at Georges in Paris. Take that how you will.

They brought it out…More »

I tweeted this from the platform : The #Montréal #métro reminds me of the #Paris métro: no litter to be seen, just the smell of trains and their rubber tires, underground

I like the recycle bins; I liked the three day card, although they screwed me…More »

Come, drink with Claire F (Queens) (9)

Here's where I like to come alive after five! [does anyone remember that juice, Five Alive?] oh, right, this is edited for Queens only.

Love letters to Yelp! {2012} (5)

grams said always say "please" and "thank you" ... And if we didn't we got swatted upside the head, but that's beside the point.

Mangez-vouz Français ? (10)

French restos in NYC

Sweet teeth : cupcakes, macarons & sugar fixes, oh my! (28)

Brrrrunch! (25)

A NYC way of life -- it's just how we do. Here are some of my favorite places for the essential weekend catch-up/meetings of the minds that take place over eggs/coffee.

San Francisco (10)

I can't think of anything clever that isn't a dirty double entendre... "San Francisco treats" is a little too-too, no?

Eat here. (64)

Some of my favorite dining destinations in the city.

It Ain't Easy Being Green (25)

+1s for places practicing green behavior: sourcing locally; encouraging patrons to reduce, re-use/recycle; and using local/green products
