    I'll be on a short first time trip here June 18th-21st.

    What's good? I'll be staying in Old Montreal.

      Tate & Yoko?
      Walk around Old Montreal  (rue Stanley) is nice. 
      Montreal Science center is kinda neat.

        Thanks. Def will try to stop in Tateyoko. Also, I think I'll be about 2 blocks from Rooney. Honestly I just want to eat the whole time. Lobster poutine motherfuckers!

          If you want the best 'authentic' poutine in Montreal, go to La Banquise on Rachel (a few blocks east of St. Denis).

          It's open 24 hours and saved me from many a hangover from all the drinking I used to do at the Tap Room (pub on Rachel, just west of La Banquise).

          Since you're in the neighbourhood, you might try to get into Pied Du Cochon on Duluth.

            Alex the co-owner of Rooney, is such a personable person. Every time I'm in there I try to spend some money just so that I can support his efforts. I have no doubt you'll find the shopping experience enjoyable. (Depending on the weather–things are supposed to be looking excellent over the next week--your stroll through Old Montreal will no doubt be leaving a lasting impression.) Boutique U & I has two shops in Montreal and, I believe, are our only distributers of EG, if you're interested in checking them out. They frequently have 20% off sales, as the brand doesn't appear to be particularly popular out here.

            Tate + Yoko is a bit out of your way and, no offence to the gent who runs it--yet another Alex--you'll likely be a bit underwhelmed with the layout. They're making great strides forward, though.

            If you're looking for a nice, homely pub-- without the raucousness that seems to be attracted to other fine establishments in the area-- with the freshest pint of Guiness our lovely city has to offer, then Hurly's is your place. You can't go wrong with Ye Old Orchard or Irish Embassy, either.

            As for dining in Old Montreal, it's not hipster cool or what one would consider fine dining, but The Keg is a decent steak house. ( Check out La Queue de Cheval on Rene-Levesque  if you're looking for something with a bit more class.)

                    I’ve not had much experience with Montreal and none with Quebec City. I will ask around and see what I can find out for you.

                    January will be cold with temps around -10 to -20c. Layers will be needed. It could be colder…

                    I’ll type more when I get home as we’re checking out now and off to the airport.

                      I used to live in Burlington Vermont(2001-2008). It’s like hr n half to Montreal. Few car loads of the homies would mob up alot skate the city all day and go out partying all night. Lots of fun times there, so many sick skate spots, crazy after hours clubs and of course the strip clubs on Saint Catherine st.

                        may be a bit late but chiming in here as someone who used to live in mtrl.

                        Montreal and Quebec City are very cold in Jan. -20C avg and with wind chill it can be -30C some nights. Windchill is a big factor cause you get alot of this wet wind from the St lawrence river that cuts through clothes. I would recco wearing something overtop that is windproof and have a down/thinsulate liner and if you have nice boots i wouldnt reccomend it as alot of side streets in Mtrl dont get plowed often so chances of you stepping in half melted slush with road salt is likely and can ruin leather boots. Wear shoes with Grip!

                        In terms of reccos, what you looking to do? Eat? Drink? arts? shopping?

                        Let me know and I can help ya!
