I need writers, will pay 3cents per word, must be montreal or nightlife related.
So here I am sitting in a posh cafe on the corner of McGill and Notre-Dame wondering where to begin explaining to people what makes Montreal what it is and why this is one of the greatest cities in the world. Sure we have been in the media recently due to our crazy student protests or those pesky political problems we have to live with day to day but once you break this city down, you quickly realize it is one of the greatest places to live.
What the heck made this place so great? If you have lived here long enough youll quickly see the city is riddled with tradition. Bagels? Ours were started in 1957. Smoke meat? 1928! Breakfast? 1942. We are a city riddled with culture and a past we cant soon forget. The world stage was set in 1967 when we were home to Expo '67. We were also home to the 1976 Olympics that drew massive crowds and once again reminded the world of our "joie de vivre; a common term montrealers use to denote our love of working to live rather than the opposite. All of these monumental moments in history have helped shape us.
So what is it like today you must wonder. To sum it up, its everything and nothing. You can be the hardest working capitalist in America and find yourself having coffee next to some unemployed hipster and find it totally normal. Thats what Montreal is all about. There isnt really a sense of anything here. Everything is unique and no one steps on each other's toes too much. Education is cheap, rent is fair and the food will embarass any chef in to feeling they were lied to about their skill (try clams on a radio at Joe Beef if you want to understand that statement). Then theres that other little part Montreal is known for; women and partying.
I have been all over the world and although Montreal is not the best, we can hang with some well respected party joints around the world. Pick your night of the week and there is something going on. Oh what about days you ask? Try picnik, tam tams or any of the other unemployed generation Y hangouts and youll be hard pressed to get bored here. Women? Dont worry we got you covered.
So why write all this and not finish of with actual reccomendations? Well to me I have read too many boring blog posts that just outline a bunch of places to go out, eat, drink and stare at stuff. Montreal Nightlife is about more than that, we work hard to deliver not just a spot but an experience to you. So get to reading, we have plenty of parties ready for you to checkout and a few good 6 am breakfast reccomendations to nurse that hangover.
