Comments on: Canada, the final frontier http://www.j5live.com/2008/05/15/canada-the-final-frontier/ Where the urethane hits the pavement Mon, 10 Oct 2011 13:34:18 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: J5 http://www.j5live.com/2008/05/15/canada-the-final-frontier/comment-page-1/#comment-19171 J5 Fri, 16 May 2008 13:58:41 +0000 http://www.j5live.com/2008/05/15/canada-the-final-frontier/#comment-19171 Haha, you guys are great. Thanks for the advice. As long as there is beer I won't insult it. As for the Quebecoises your going to have to keep their hands off me or I might not be able to resist - I love it when a girl speaks French to me (I have a gorgeous Swedish friend who lived in Brussels and would make me melt when she spoke French. I had to remind myself she was just a friend ;))!!! As for NY advice (I'm assuming NYC) I would suggest STK for an expensive steak or Pastis downtown for a moderately priced, excellent French bistro where you can see and be seen. I would recommend Les Halles midtown also if you want something more intimate. There are also a number of rooftop lounges if the weather is nice. I've been to 230 FIFTH (which is on fifth ave), it is expensive and will be empty if the weather is not nice but the view and experience is simply amazing. Make sure to bring nice shoes and buisness casual/up-scale club clothes if you want to get into the clubs and lounges but if you are a dive bar type of person who likes good music you can't go wrong with the village. May I recommend Nightengale bar if it is still there and you can find it on 2nd Ave. @ 13th Street (looks like it might be a lounge now, such a shame). Haha, you guys are great.

These streets are all in or next to "Le plateau". The place to be (and live, like me too hehe)!

No insulting our beer. 2. Our beer is good. 3. Hands off les Quebecoises, there aren't enough of them to go around. You can look, though. We love Americans. Visit often!

If not, The Plateau is one of the places to be (it took me a couple of trips to "discover" it). Have any of the others been to MTL before?
