Montreal 40 years Later, EVERYTHING Old is New Again...

Montreal in the Fall... Its been nearly 40 years since I last visited Montreal, and I found the City much more beautiful than I remembered. This is were my Mother was born and lived from 1930 to 1948. After the war, the family moved to Hollywood, California, but her roots in Montreal are still present.
Clark Street where she lived from age 5 to 12, the neighborhood called Plateau-Mont-Royal. Its reminded me of the Brooklyn of Montreal. Trendy, Hip Shops and Restaurants and renovated apartments and townhouse. It is also the Jewish Quarter with many delicious Bagel Shops here for over 80 years. We had to do a "Bagel Challenge", St. Viateur Bagel Shop vs. Fairmount Bagels. Agreed that right out of the oven wins everytime!!!

The Marche Atwater is a collection of food stalls and shops selling everything from Cheese, Pastry, Meats, Flowers and so much more. One of 3 major markets in the City.  
And a visit to Montreal would not be complete without a stop at Schwartz's on Blvd. St. Laurent, 80 years of tradition, A Montreal Classic. The oldest deli in Canada. www.schwartzsdeli.com

And to keep the scales balanced, there is Damas, voted the best choice for Vegan and Vegetarians in Montreal. Tried the sampler menu with both Vegan and Meat Dishes for those who cared to indulge... and we did. Yum!

And a blog could not be complete without a blurb on Art. Sadly this trip did not allow time to visit the many wonderful museums and galleries in the City. However, during the 2 days and nearly 20 miles of walking... not to mention the blisters on my feet, we did see lots of colorful street art. It is a very colorful city, with lots of projection mapping and street festivals throughout the City.
