By now, you’ve probably run into someone familar - within one degree of separation - to either the victim or the perpetrator. Last weekend, early Saturday morning to be precise, 26-year-old Thomas Vernis, owner of Santos restaurant in the Old Port, hit François Dumouchel, alias DJ Euterke, and killed him in a hit and […]
“They’ve done it again” was my first impression when I walked in to the dimly lit restaurant with a very bright future. The latest brainchild from acclaimed local restaurateurs (and husband and wife team) Travis Champion and Monika Terlecki is sure to delight locals and tourists. I’ve known Travis and Monika for over a decade […]
The coolest thing about being Canadian is being tacky (and giving things titles like I did this post). Every time someone remotely famous passes through our air space, those plastic sycophants on eTalk Daily will find a way to glamorize it. And if someone Canadian actually makes it anywhere doing anything, if their backwater hometown […]
there is an ice bar open in Montreal! if you’ve ever been curious about what it feels like to sip champagne while your extremities freeze, come on down to the terrace (well, in the summertime, currently it is a frozen wonderland) of Le Garcon at 1112 Sherbrooke (and Peel).

A hidden treasure, it is open late and hosts some of the best fruit smoothies and caramel cappuccinos […]
This past weekend, I had the fortune of sitting down with one of the owners of one of the most successful clubs in town. You know the place. I asked him about the impact of the non-smoking rule and he said it hurt his business 40-75%.
I asked how come and he said it all had […]
so perhaps their tactics of recruiting people to their consellation prize club (B-side) are flawed, “are you looking for a place to go with an older crowd?”, but it is admittedly nice to go to a club in town where the prevalence of university going drunkards is scarcer (Cafe Campus it is not), they let […]
Montreal’s premiere dj crew, Peer Pressure, is now only rocking one Saturday per month (October 21st was the last one, so keep your eyeballs peeled for November’s) at Vinyl. DJs (including A-rock and Hatchmatik) are guaranteed to rock your body, mixing gems from house to hip hop. Their flashy clothes are the epitome of early ’90s […]
