Three Ideal Days in Montreal

Where to eat, drink, shop, and wander in one of the coolest cities in the Americas.

If I had to rank North American cities by coolness, the first two would be pretty obvious–New York and Mexico City. But for third place, I’d argue it’s Montreal.

It’s a little naughty, boasts fashion cred, and mixes high and low better than almost any city worldwide.

For those who prefer stuff in map form, I’ve put everything listed into Google Maps:
