BRUNCH The Sofitel Hotel (sofitel.com) Sofitel has a special place in our heart, because that's where we held our wedding reception. For brunch, the kitchen there makes some of the best pastries and omelets around. LUNCH Schwartz Delhi (schwartzsdeli.com) There are a few things that actually contribute to Montreal's definition: its bilingual character, geography, personal style of its citizens, and smoked meat. Americans have their pastrami; we have smoked meat, briny gift from God, and no one does it better than the people at Schwartz. The restaurant is cramped, they don't accept reservations, and the decor definitely functions over the shape, but when you in a sandwich with Schwartz's smoked meat, it's like still on this earth. Gibeau Orange Julep (7700 Decari Boulevard, Montreal, 514-738-7486) Is such a tasteless structure that you can really define it as you fly into the city. It's just a big giant orange in the middle of the parking lot off the highway. But what is done inside is pure pleasure. Indigenous in Montreal is the orange drink Julep, a creamy, frosty drink that we order with a simple but perfect hot dog on a toasted bun known as toast. On a hot summer day there is nothing better than to drive to Julep, order a box full of toast, and enjoy them in the sun... or while feeding a hangover. DINNER L'Orignal (restaurantlorignal.com) Hidden on a tiny cobblestone street in the heart of Old Montreal, L'Orignal is a cozy restaurant that serves dishes from local products of quebec. Venison and wild boar are delicious, but for any oyster lover, this is the place! We love to dine and spend the rest of the night enjoying the fantastic cocktails and the crowd to the end. Sometimes it's too late! L'express (3927 Saint-Denis Street, Montreal, 514-845-5333) If you're a foodie, it's a must-try. Anyone who visits should stop by for some fantastic French fare. We love that the kitchen is open until at least 1am! One of the best steak tartares I've ever had as well as the best price wine list in town! Dominion Square Tavern (tavernedominion.com) A beautifully restored tavern in the city centre with upscale pub food and a great list of old-school cocktails. We especially love their homemade tonic and royal gin fizzes. All the details of the decor really make it special. It's also a short walk from downtown Bella, so it's a fantastic place after a concert or hockey game!! Gard Manger (garde-manger.com) Restaurant is the equivalent of a zipper in a bottle: Despite various attempts, no one was able to replicate the amazing mood, atmosphere, location and menu here. DRINK Terrasse Nelligan at the Nelligan Hotel (hotelnelligan.com) Montreal has three months of beautiful weather and we enjoy this time more than any city in the world. This is one of my favorite summer places on the roof. Overlooking the St. Lawrence River, the Old Port of Montreal and the Basilica of Notre Dame, Nelligan's terrace is breathtaking. There is often a jazz trio playing, and sangria is delicious yet deadly! STAY Hotel Gault (hotelgault.com) Tucked away in the heart of Old Montreal - this tiny boutique hotel. It features 30 minimalist loft-style rooms. The hotel's small lobby bar has a library of designer books. Take one and warm up by the campfire-calm now!

Located in a hip neighborhood in the heart of Laurier Avenue, this boutique is ultra glamorous, with lovely lingerie, amazing and clothing from European designers.

The group, founded in 1968, was a breakaway organization from the group Students for a Democratic Society. The title comes from American rock/folk singer Bob Dylan's song, Underground Homesick Blues, which contains a line: You don't need a forecaster to know which way the wind is blowing. According to the Declaration of War against the United States in 1970, its purpose was to bring white children to an armed revolution. According to the group, revolutionary violence was necessary to combat what they perceived as a war against African Americans, and military actions abroad, such as the Vietnam War and the invasion of Cambodia. May 19, 1972: The group detonated a bomb at the Pentagon.March 1, 1971: The bombing of the U.S. Capitol was designed to protest the U.S. invasion of Laos, according to a communique released at the time. The damage to the property amounted to several hundred thousand dollars, but no one was injured. March 6, 1970: Three members of the Church were killed while making bombs at a house in Greenwich Village. The incident brought the group completely underground. October 8, 1969: Violent Days of Rage Riot was organized by forecasters in Chicago to protest the Vietnam War. Weather Underground was created in 1968, during a turbulent moment in American and world history. It seems to many that national liberation movements and left-wing revolutionary or guerrilla movements are harbingers of a different world than the one that prevailed in the 1950s. This new world, according to its proponents, will revolution divide the political and social hierarchy between developed and less developed countries, between races and between men and women. In the United States, the student movement, loosely organized around these new left ideas, grew during the 1960s, becoming increasingly loud and radical in its ideas and activities, especially in response to the Vietnam War and the belief that the United States was imperialists Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was the most prominent symbol of this movement. The University's student group, founded in 1960 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, had a broad platform of purpose related to their criticism of U.S. military interventions abroad and their accusations of racism and inequality in the United States. Weather Underground came out of that spirit, but added a bellicose spin, believing that violent action was necessary to effect change. Other student groups in other parts of the world were also of this kind in the late 1960s. That's all you can and can't do in the city, and how to protect yourself, how we track when Montreal will reopen.
