| Montreal has a big city feel (1.65 million residents), but isn't overwhelming. |
 |
| Like Toronto, they have bikeshare. But, Bixi Montreal has over 5,000 bikes, more than Toronto and DC combined. |
 |
| Excellent bike infrastructure. Many miles of protected, separated bike lanes. |
 |
| Subway stations indicate where to stand on the platform. Daytime: trains arrived every 2-4 minutes; late-night: 5-6. |
 |
| Aging Olympic structures are getting an overhaul, but still look like 1970s time capsules. |
 |
| Olympic Stadium (where the Nationals played as the Expos) has a cool tower, though. |
 |
| The MLS team has a soccer specific stadium. |
 |
| I'm not a Habs fan, but RESPECT. |
 |
| Atwater Market is one of many neighborhood markets for wholesale and retail food, flowers, gifts, etc. |
 |
| I've never been to Europe, but I imagine parts of it look like this; Old Montreal. |
 |
| Pop-up restaurants made of shipping containers. Very cool. |
 |
| Lots of good coffee! Pikolo, Myriad, Tunnel Espresso, Resonance, more. |
 |
| Vegan food everywhere. Aux Vivres, Invitation V, Yuan Vegetarien, Resonance Cafe, Resto Vego, Lola Rosa, and more. |
 |
| What's a great vegan meal without dessert? This was one of the many great small businesses. |
