haha isnt it beautiful. idk my partner had it highly recommended, im not that fussed abt brunch stuff as long as we have some ideas, i was just worried abt getting resos for dinner before places filled up, being too far is def a barrier but well see how we feel/how hungover we are

blurry brunch
― mh, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 19:17 (ten years ago) link
i feel like going there is not going to be the best idea. go to maison publique or lawrence for brunch if you're not going to the latter for dinner. (or hell even if you are.)

tried a couple things on the menu but the only thing i would order again would be the... eggs benedict... hungarian... or something...? i can't remember. they were damned delicious.
if yr partner wants to go there, go :D just know that that meal is head & shoulders above at least 3 others...
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Wednesday, 23 October 2013 19:40 (ten years ago) link
would you say it's worth a trip to NDG for those eggs
― socki (s1ocki), Wednesday, 23 October 2013 19:43 (ten years ago) link
i mean if you're gonna go to ndg for eggs, go to cosmos is what im saying
idk s1ox do you have an in @ lawrence? ill buy you breakfast if we dont have to wait but otherwise the internet and my non-ilx sources tell me it is like an hour which is just too much

TYPICAL EAST MTL BIAS ITT
but yeah its good and its better than cosmos but yd be looking at like over an hour for the round trip to monkland. if for some reason you're out there it's a good bet, otherwise the eggs are not +1h better than the above mentioned places.
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Wednesday, 23 October 2013 20:03 (ten years ago) link
and the other thing is youd be on monkland before/after which is just :|
― I've Seen rRootage (Will M.), Wednesday, 23 October 2013 20:04 (ten years ago) link
i do not believe it is better than cosmos

and not even 40% people voted, surely Montreal could do better than that?

I'm into this band No Joy playing at il motore on sat night
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Friday, 6 December 2013 04:45 (ten years ago) link
Get wasted on cheap pints at playhouse late late Friday night, hear awesome weird lady rock bands, be yr queer self. Depends on what you're into doing of course.
The weather looks decent this weekend at least! I kept laughing about this food truck thing out at Olympic stadium, which happens in summer but they're trying to make into a winter thing too, but it seems ridiculous to me to stand in the shadow of a concrete monstrosity in winter to buy overpriced "street food." Anyway that's happening Saturday. There's also ice shaking. And aforementioned smart design mart, yep!

i may as well go there
― gbx, Friday, 6 December 2013 05:04 (ten years ago) link
we're neighbors basically
gbx I don't know, I even think of that as something that ~cannot be known~ by the contemporary residents of a city, but def come hang in Montreal whether or not you are a neighbour. if I were to describe what it's like here anytime between like one week from now & April you wouldn't come, so just jump in, don't even talk to hoteliers who might let something slip by phone, just book a trip, commit

i am really enjoying winter so far. i hate winter. i was so scared about it, just memories of waiting for buses, waiting to cross streets scrunching your toes. but so far it's been so fine; the wind has not been in my face, i have been wearing regular shoes, the temperature change on the metro has been as inconvenient as it gets. but then TODAY. ugh. just sliding. what happened. sliding forever. so often almost dying.
also: i had a long conversation with my friend about olimpico, the little cosmopolitan nucleus of olimpico, & he said he preferred café social. i was so surprised! & then i sat bolt upright twelve hours later wondering if it was better, if it was like religious bias, the construction of a hierarchy instilled by whichever you visit first. i always thought c.s. was just olimpico but with food & slushy coffee. inferior because it was less ascetic, less pure. but then he talked about it having a better, more authentically grizzled quebecoise clientele. i like the ambient conversation at olimpico. but i doubted myself. does anybody have opinions about this, i feel like it has the dna to become a really excellent partisan division between people who are currently friends.
― mustread guy (schlump), Monday, 6 January 2014 23:18 (ten years ago) link
i have a lot of opinions about this, i've put in time, literally years, at each cafe
― socki (s1ocki), Thursday, 9 January 2014 23:43 (ten years ago) link
me too. I lean in the olimpico direction though because the coffee is better! I used to go to social with boozehound friend because for many years you could buy drinks without having to also buy food (ah the years of lax liquor license monitoring), and their terrasse in summer rules.
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Friday, 10 January 2014 00:06 (ten years ago) link
Ah it's nice to think about summer...
it is a very very complicated and subtle dichotomy, the Olimpico and Social thing(it has been made more complicated, I believe, from the decampment of Vito northward to Villeray)
