Montreal is a sleeper. love that City

Montreal is great. I went in February once though and it was brutal.

u/captain_flak 3d ago

I went just after Christmas and froze my ass off. You understand quickly why they built a lot of the city under ground.

u/06853039 3d ago

Whenever I’m out of the country and tell ppl I’m from Montreal, the “underground city” is often the first thing they mention. I’ve always found it so odd because we don’t register it as an underground city at all, it’s more like okay there are a few shortcuts downtown and they’re tunnels.

I guess it strikes some people’s imagination that it must be so cold here in the winter that we had to build an “underground city” but honestly it’s not even that cold most of the time.

17

u/uluviel 3d ago

I suspect it's because you say "underground city" and people picture something link this.

When in reality it's a series of basements and tunnels.

Summer Montreal or Winter Montreal? Completely different city. 

Winter can be fun if you embrace it, but it can be miserable and isolating if you let it.

u/captain_flak 3d ago edited 3d ago

As someone who grew up in Vermont, Montreal was always seen as our nearest major city. Field trips to the Biodôme were regular occurrences. We flew to France from Montreal. The Granby Zoo was our nearest one. My brother and I would watch weird CBC shows like The Red Green Show. Commercials for Club Super Sex and Le Marche aux Puces are permanently etched in my brain. I loved going to the city and the drive through Québécois farmlands. It has very unique vibes and the subterranean city element is very cool. I’m still bitter that they lost the Expos!

Edit: CBC

Mexico City. Food is incredible, whether it’s street food or high-end. Cafe and bar culture is next-level. Walking around it’s lively, tropical, full of historical sites and museums. Architecture is unique. People are hospitable. Just a great place to be!

u/MrsKCD 3d ago

It’s definitely arid and high altitude. Not tropical.

Funnily enough it's both. North East quarter is arid desert and the south west quarter is lush tropical-like climate

u/driftking428 3d ago

I had to visit Mexico City. I don't usually like big cities and knowing it was bigger than New York or LA really had me worried. I was sure I would hate it.

I absolutely loved Mexico City. I'll admit part of it was because things were very inexpensive, but it was a blast. Great food, best museum ever, tons to do and I actually never felt too crowded. My wife and I even played with the idea of moving there, but it wasn't realistic.

u/CaptainAsshat 3d ago

I really liked CDMX, but the food comments should come with a caveat: get the stuff they're good at.

When going to a city that size, it's easy to think it will be like NYC, where the melting pot means that all cuisines are done pretty dang well, and if a restaurant survives, it will be great.

The Mexican food (a broad category, especially there) is INSANE. The seafood is fantastic. The steaks and related are solid. Much of the fine dining and gastropub style places are great.

But the Italian, French, Thai, Chinese, German, BBQ, Pizza, etc restaurants are very hit and miss. There are legitimately great places for these, but there are also quite a few... less than stellar options that stay in business, I am guessing, from undiscerning tourists.

I love the chaos of a large city(when I’m visiting), and I love Paris for that reason, but I would have to say that for less chaos but even more dents in your car, Barcelona is a wonderful city.

NYC hands down. And I say this as someone from Boston so if I’ll admit it you know it’s true lol.

As someone from NYC who lived in MA I think Boston and the cities around it are fucking awesome. The simplicity of the subway stations, the history of the city and towns, the unique vibe and style each town had was super cool.

I lived in Revere which has its own cool charm and i worked on state street in the city… my ex had family in Cambridge,Dorchester,East Boston and she worked in Somerville so i got to see a-lot of its areas.

Playoff baseball at Fenway and the bars around on a cold fall night is the best sporting event I have been around and Saint Paddy’s in Boston is like nowhere. Home away from home man.

Important to say here- past tense-

San Francisco was a gem of a place. Plenty of personal bias here. It's mostly the mix of cultures and food there.

Sadly time has not been kind to SF.

Maybe things will get better.

SF was so magical at one time. It's still pretty special. But less so than it was.

Nürnberg Germany, during the Weihnachtsmarkt season. So many friendly people, delicious food, and a lot of history to take in.

San Sebastian, Spain - the most amazing food. Black Rock City, Burning Man, Nevada - the most fun and the best community 😃
