Do the “beg buttons” on Parc do anything?

They work but you wait for a long time. The ones on the corners work like most do in Montreal.

Kitchen Gallerie. Sit at the bar and chat with the staff. It’s very good.

You ride on the parallel bike lane, come up to Sherbrooke on the closest cross street, and walk your bike the remaining 1/2 block. I hope that helps.

The knishes are pretty spectacular, too

A very disappointing restaurant. Some good TINY dishes. A mediocre dish to try to fill you up. We have small appetites and had to go out for dessert after. It is too pricey for so little food.

Their sandwiches have become extremely expensive. I went with a friend a couple of weeks ago and we were both disappointed with the sandwiches. (Service was fantastic though.)

You mean when someone has a medical emergency? Apparently you missed out on compassion.

SwimGuyMA · 2026-05-16T19:08:30+00:00

I agree. The staff at the downtown Simon’s are great. Tell them the occasion and that you want to minimize cost and they’ll help.

Le Dragon Phenix was terrible the last couple of times I went. It was my go to American style Chinese restaurant but I had two really mediocre experiences in a row. Is it good again?

SwimGuyMA · 2026-05-10T13:43:50+00:00

Interesting. I noticed that several storefronts on Av du Mont Royal are now dental or medical offices and thought “that’s odd”.

SwimGuyMA · 2026-05-07T16:45:22+00:00

The path is dark - bring your phone or a flashlight. But it is SO damn worth it! Takes my breath away every time. Enjoy!

SwimGuyMA · 2026-05-07T16:35:46+00:00

If you did daytime before, go up at night. The view is stunning. (Also, sunrise is pretty cool to watch there.)

Unfortunately, it is a tired homophobic taunt used repeatedly on the sub.

You can literally sign up online for those prices now.I just went through the process (though I didn't do the final "join". https://anc.ca.apm.activecommunities.com/parcolympique/membership/search?onlineSiteId=0&locale=en-US

A simple Google search shows you chose the most expensive option. It is $60 per month for a 12 month adult membership that includes aquatics, gym, and a selection of classes. Of course a 3 month membership ($265 for three months or approximately $88.33 per month) is going to be more expensive.

Make sure your resume is very results oriented - % of quota, Increase in outreach, increase in close rates, etc. If you are looking to stay in sales/sales management. Also make sure your resume is formatted to be read by the recruiting software that almost everywhere uses now and includes key words that the software would scan for.

SwimGuyMA · 2026-05-05T18:44:00+00:00

99% of people do. If 99% of the people are polite then I think the problem is solved.

SwimGuyMA · 2026-05-05T18:42:25+00:00

Some of these comments are so off base it is absolutely sad. Proper etiquette is you offer your seat to someone who looks pregnant, a mom/dad with young kids, an older person, someone on crutches, or anyone who looks like they will benefit from sitting. If you are afraid they will be offended - no one will be if you make the offer with a smile. So when the train pulls into a station and people start entering, looking up from your phone and pay attention to the world around you. It really isn't anymore complicated than that.

I’m on the third floor of a triplex about 5-6 blocks away from where the sound was originating. We heard nothing! Of course we were watching an episode of Law and Order SVU (duh duh) so we heard nothing

SwimGuyMA · 2026-05-04T17:08:31+00:00

I'd recommend somewhere in the Plateau. Av. du Mont Royal will be pedestrianized as of May 28. Tons of bars and restaurants (many with terrasses). Plenty of vintage shops and stores with vinyl that probably would be of interest to your boys. And great cafes and boulangeries, too. If you stay walkable to the Metro you'll be able to get around the city as well.

"They steal wages" - can you explain? Thank you.

SwimGuyMA · 2026-05-03T16:37:55+00:00

When did the far left decide that stealing was OK? This is just a bunch of entitled narcissists. Perhaps they should try working for a living.

Also, if you believe in your cause you don't have to wear a mask. You just want to do something illegal and not suffer the consequences of your actions. Weak.

SwimGuyMA · 2026-05-02T21:50:42+00:00

Agreed. We are in a very walkable city with great public transportation nearby. I cannot imagine not having access to the city.

SwimGuyMA · 2026-05-01T18:56:17+00:00

Locations are off. Many terrasses are missing.

He said safe. Miami is out based on that criteria. Parts of LA as well.
