First Friday Fest in Montreal

If you travel for food, an increasingly popular reason for packing your bags, Montreal should rank high on your list of must-visits. Named North America’s Food Capital by Town & Country, the city is home to more than 5,800 restaurants representing the 120 ethnicities found within the city. Even if you stayed for a month, you wouldn’t be able to sample all of Montreal’s culinary highlights, but there’s one way to chow down on a hearty helping of local and international favorites in a single night, and that’s by attending a First Friday fest.

Craft Distilleries to Visit

When it comes to craft alcohol, it seems like craft beer takes the spotlight in most discussions, but there are excellent craft distilleries all over the country as well.
