Riassunto

Exploring Canada's hot-spot city that never sleeps, this innovative guide visits 24 Montreal locations?from nightclubs and restaurants to bistros, hotels, and cabarets?each at a different hour of the day. Offering unique personal narratives in each review, this account profiles the owners, workers, and even patrons of a variety of local favorites, including the funky bluegrass club Grumpy’s; the 24-hour Lebanese hangout Boustan; the bustling morning market Marché Centrale; the legendary greasy spoon Cosmos; the bar of choice for Plateau hipsters, Copacabana; and the home away from home for superstars such as Madonna and Bruce Springsteen, the Hotel Le St. James. Revealing a truly multicultural city, this collection of stories and travel tips paints a unique portrait of a fascinating francophone neighbor to the north.
