Summer in the City

Last year it was all about the Old Port and its urban beach. This summer, we’re heading to two hot new city hangouts.

For waterfront action it’s all about a visit to Village Éphémère (pictured, 2100 Notre-Dame E., Montreal)—a boardwalk-esque project brought to us by the Association du Design Urbain du Québec. We love the gorgeous views from the Jacques-Cartier Bridge and La Ronde (read: the fireworks) as well as the art installations, food trucks and all-around merriment of this place.

Speaking of merriment, this weekend marks the launch of Marché des Possibles by Pop Montreal and the Plateau Mont-Royal—a pilot project that will bring great food, drinks and local wares to the parking lot at St-Dominique and Bernard in Mile End. Open every weekend until August 31st.
