downtown MONTREAL

[showbiz00ditc]

hey i just found out im goin to montreal for march break. i know theres a goodfoot there that needs to be dealt with... anyone else have any other places to check out, whether it be shopping, food, clubs, I'm looking for the whole rundown. any help is appreciated.

[Good]

There's far too many places to list... stick to St. Laurent around Pine and you'll do fine. If for some reason you don't know what to do with your night, Blue Dog, Le Swimming, Bif Tek and Saphire are all good spots (and are all within a couple blocks of St Laurent and Pine).

For shopping, start at Goodfoot (which also happens to be at St Laurent and Pine) and walk down the street... that strip has some of the best shopping in the city.

[aDj]

Shop:

Turf Gallery - Old Montreal

Alena Skate

Dine:

Swartz's - tourist spot for smoked meat sandwichs on St. Laurent N. of Ave. de Pins.

L'Academie on St. Denis

Beauty's- all day breakfast on Mont Royal

Cafeteria - St. Laurent

La Belle Province - Poutine

[youreit]

alena has been outta business for some time dude, also turf is weak

[notit]

Turf is one of the worst "boutiques" in Canada. sorry to say it.

[aDj]

dude asked for options and I listed some. If you have some better places to checkout then post them. I haven't been in a year.

[sr20det]

is turf the place with the transparent ceiling where there's kicks sprawled on top?

I was a target cause I'm a fashion misfit

and the outfit that I'm wearing brothers dissing it

[showbiz00ditc]

yea thats the one... even though they're setups real low budget... i like it alot... very appealing to me

[fatal_femme]

food wise:

l'express on st. denis. yum steak frites. le chilenita for the empanadas. i forgot where that place is though.

shopping:

depends on what you look for. it's not overly earth shattering over there.

but there's a lot of great food in montreal so enjoy yourself in that respect.

im just waiting for some asshole to try and school me because i am probably wrong. oh wait....no i'm not.

[UPnorth]

check out RISEMTL

nice shoes, nice tees, all hand screened, and a gallery too

close to U&I

[fatal_femme]

don't laugh. there's a spot called patati patata on st. laurent some where. i loved that place for greasy breakfast and l'orange pressee

im just waiting for some asshole to try and school me because i am probably wrong. oh wait....no i'm not.

www.thehundreds.com

[UPnorth]

off the hook

great people, good product, nice vibe

and they know whats up in the city

and they bring alot of shit to the city

[fatal_femme]

i'm sure they are nice peoples...but how can you take yourself seriously with a name like off the hook? it's like having a store called it's so rad! or this is the shit! haha. what other stuff do they carry? i'd get into GF if i were you. ace is great.

i miss beauty's on mont royal for my bagel and cafe au lait. but i do not miss the cold ass winters. what's up with general tso's chicken and montreal. no where else is that obsessed with chicken like that.

im just waiting for some asshole to try and school me because i am probably wrong. oh wait....no i'm not.

[poobrowne]

is that the same cat that made flux?

[Good]

same dude

[UPnorth]

hey FF

your so right, that name sounds even worst on the sign outdoors "les vetements off the hook"

ouch....................

yeah and about putting "the hundreds in mtl, diffenently put it in GDFT, "off the hooK" isnt suited for that line, especially if you have it in stores like LIVESTOCK, HUF, and COLETTE,

thats a whole other ball game son

[UPnorth]

oh and about WARREN and TURF

he sell shit thats two years old, and trying to pass it off as "last season"

fuck that............

people do know whats up Warren, you ain't on top of your game

went there for the first time alittle while ago and it will be the last time

[frogeyes]

Word on the street is that he owes a lot of people a lot of money for advertising fees from issues of flux that never got printed. The shop is in a nice area of Montreal, but the interior is like some stoner fort gone horribly wrong from the 70's.

[poobrowne]

i thought stoner fort chic was so hot right now?

"issues" that didn't get printed? like, plural? goddamn people are stupid.
