I'm headed up to Mont Tremblant with a snowboarder friend for one day next Friday, but in case the conditions stink, my backup plan is to bop around Montreal a bit. I normally go and just wander around Rue Ste Catherine and Old Montreal.
After Mont Tremblant, we'll stay in downtown Montreal over night before driving back to Vermont. We have dinner reservations at an izakaya in Old Montreal and plan to have breakfast at Allo Mon Coco (a fun Canadian breakfast chain with lots of fruit on all their dishes - I wish we had this in the US!) But aside from that, I feel kind of clueless. I've never been able to really get a feel for the city.
What else should I be doing? Does Jean Talon Marche have any ready-made foods to taste, or is it all produce? I heard Mile End and Mile Ex are cool, mostly vintage shopping and music stores and that sort of thing but I've never been. What other fun places in the city should I go to?
