Are there there anythings i should know before i leave to montreal?

Question

Am planing to travel to Montreal from New York city in columbus weekend by rail, am planning to leave saturday morning, i have enough to get there but i dont want to break the wallet in fancy restuarants and attractions. I have a budget(very limited), to the point that i want to eat as cheap as possible but make it worth my trip. What "cheap" restuarants are found in montreal or are there any fast food(taco bell, burger king, and ect) restuarants in Montreal. What are the things i should know about hostels,food, clubs before i leave New York City?

Answer 1

Yes there are, the same fast food types of places as in the US, but you have to try Montreal's version of the Pastrami sandwich, a nice juicy Montreal Smoked meat sandwich, and you also have try the bagels, a bit different to the New York ones, but still a taste treat, do not worry you can travel on a budget here, even though the dollar now is at par, but by Columbus day, it could be back down to 90 cents US.

Answer 2

this is an easy question to answer. montreal is a major metropolis and you will find all kinds of restaurants at all prices. just hang around mcgill university or concordia -- ie. st. catherine street and guy --approximately and go in and out of the restos -- most will post their prices on their windows or doors. that takes care of your food. as for your lodging -- the best bet is to seek ymca on drummond and st.catherine corner at promity to concordia -- ask anyone about concordia and they will direct you. voila. have a nice trip.
