err no "all"
Montreal-all is what we call the city as a whole

it's like "galactica actual" on BSG
s1ocki recommend to me brunch places near mile end
― Lamp, Thursday, 6 September 2012 18:41 (twelve years ago) link
other people can recommend places too but i want that gourmand seal of approval
Boston -all includes Newton I guess and Peabody - seems like some sort of linux command with a dash liek that
ipconfig -all

it's ifconfig on linux

"Actors Dirk Benedict (as fighter pilot Starbuck) and Bobby Van (as Hector, the android), traveled to Montreal for these scenes. Benedict has been quoted as saying it was an uncomfortable experience - not all that surprising in that the scenes were shot in winter in buildings that had not been heated in years."
plus he was with an Eggplant man

yeah perhaps in order to post itt, one has to at least have an intention of visiting Montreal in the near future, give or take a year. we will soon grow tired of yr wistfulness for what we got. we all know that all this eggplant talk is but a thin veneer.

Did anyone ever see that Altman movie shot in some place related to Expo 67 -- maybe Habitat, maybe something else... was it called Quintet? That looked COLD

You are wiser now - and taking it all in - the sights, the sounds...you still remember your earlier trembling moments. Now you are the Regis. Meanwhile, I am still the fool, fallin gover in tide pools

man i was jsut thinknig about mile end brunches and realized i probably havent had a nice civil mile end sunday brunch in like a year, only st-henri janko brunches at greenspot etc.
i think senzala closed? i kinda remember sparrow's brunch being good. does lawrence or lemeac or one of those places that start with an L have a brunch?
― #1 Thwartstop Prospect (Will M.), Thursday, 6 September 2012 19:12 (twelve years ago) link
i'm so shitty @ being from this city
Will M please love yoruself despite yoru failings.
anyway if a movie is boring just skip ahead - thta's what I do when I watch Dark SHadows - I love it but its the most boring show ever

cafe cherrier on cherrier/st-denis is p great brunch spot
― flopson, Thursday, 6 September 2012 19:42 (twelve years ago) link
ah, brunch... i used to eschew it but i'm getting over that. i guess it depends on what you're looking for - i tend to go middle-of-the-road, not a straight-up diner but not a gourmet place either. and i like a certain comfy and not-too-loud environment. that said, i don't go out for brunch very often, so... in mile-end-ish:
i like cafe souvenir on bernard, esp because terrassevelo cafe on beaubienboite gourmand on laurier
and screw it, i will plug the site i write for: http://www.tourisme-montreal.org/blog/where-to-eat/the-mile-ends-best-brunches/

i keep forgetting to bump this thread but a couple of things made me think of it:
have you all seen the first issue of CULT, which afaik is the autonomously published new magazine by ex-Mirror staff?
& also, ty for the recommendations for Montreal stuff to do. Jean Talon was rad, & I came back with vegetables in colourways I hadn't seen before, & the falafel at green dragon is real nice. I could do without the gherkin but yeah real good.

green panther! though they should open another location called green dragon for real
i was in the states for a few days and came back today to extended summer and so got on my bike to go have beers on a terrasse. oh extended summer.
totally doing Pop Montreal this week!

free shows in places like the park off St-Laurent in Little Italy
ha yes. thanks. no it was good, i got it to take out & was worried as soon as i remembered all other instances in which i've tried to eat something coated in tahini sauce while on the move, but it was v neat. i wish that more places did the thing where they smash the falafel up a bit before including - this is a falafel sandwich protip imo - but yeah i dug it, i should try their other stuff. i have to try the crazy cheap downtown place w/$2 falafel & soup next.
the weather is so so nice at the moment.
i'm trying to get to dam funk on wednesday, i have no idea how free-pop-mtl-shows work though, like with things like this i assume i will intend to go & then that the event will be populated by just everyone who had their shit more together than i did.

yeah. but wait that godard thing is like a zillion hours long, & hilariously is a double feature. i think shoah will be my marathon thing, provided i can squeeze it in. CDP programming so good so far.
