Montreal Road Trip

[kingofny04]

Me and a couple friends were thinking about making a road trip to Montreal for about a 4 days. Im coming from NYC so it should be about a 6-7 hour drive. I waswondering if anyone could recommend a specific place in Montreal to stay by to be closest to night life, food, stores and stuff like that. Also should we lookinto motels or marriots?

schwartz meat shop (sp?) it's not really close to the hotel but hands down GOAT smoked meat you'll ever try IMO
shopping on st catherines theres malls and some stores
for parties along st catherines there's tons of bars/clubs/strip clubs

There is a lot of nightclub in Montreal. You can try "La Boom", the "Club Opera", the "Tribe Hyperclub". I also hear aboutAltitude 737, it's on the 47th floor of the Ville-Marie building, but I've never been there.
If you want to eat, i personnaly love Baton Rouge (there is one near the Place des Arts on Ste-Catherine street).
There is also a lot of lounge/bar on St-Laurent blvd (mostly on north of Sherbrooke and St-Laurent corner).

For shopping you can go at the Centre Eaton (also on Ste-Catherine) but honestly, unless you're going to buy some "I love Canada" shirt, it'snot really a good deal to buy here

. If you want some souvenir, you can go in the Old Montreal (mostly on the "Place Jacques-Cartier")

Also, if you have time, you can go on the Mont Royal (mostly by night) to see Montreal from higher! There is 2 places to see: one is accesible by car, and theother you have to park and walk, but it's definitly better since you see the downtown.

I hope you will understand what i wrote lol
