Montreal

[Chairman Wood]

Anyone ever been there? I am considering planning a trip there with 4 of my friends this weekend. Friday until Monday. What things are the must sees? What other things would you advise and why? My friends and I are interested in anything that we wouldn't normally see in the midwestern United States. In addition, we like to drink. Please advise along those lines. Thank you

I'm pretty sure there's a big beer festival going on in Montreal from June 1-5. If you can hold out for another week or so, that seems like it'd be cool to check out

I've only been to Montreal once but I didn't like it that much (I'm from Ontario and don't have the highest opinion of Quebecers), but all my New England friends have great times getting drunk. Montreal has the (AFIK) the biggest jazz festival and the biggest comedy festival as well which are supposed to be awesome. Both are in July I think.

Do you or any of your friends know any French? It would certainly be helpful. Montreal is an awesome place. I live in Seattle, so I've been to Canada many times -- and going to Montreal was the only time I truly felt like I was in a foreign country.

(You can get by without speaking French up there, but some of the restaurants we went to had French-only menus and the staff didn't even speak English.)

i was pleased with the fact that they use mayo for their french fries. it's like going to europe without crossing the ocean.

i really like montreal.
