IMAGINE. This expo at Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal from Yoko Ono, wife of John Lenon, is brilliant. Free and interactiv, it made me realize how better this museum is getting with time, or am I getting older so I appreciate more?

It makes you imagine what it used to be and makes you imagine what you can do. Full of Hope from the past, it makes you believe. Trees, piano, chess, stamps... bed, of course... music everywhere. No excuses: you have to go see it!

Where to drink runner up

Fancy a glass a wine? Or a wine tasting for some resistant people? Pullman is the perfect place to dress up a little bit, have a little burger (they serve the most adorable mini burgers in the entire town... they are REALLY mini, and fries too), or a little cupcake and good alcohol.

The wine selection is amazing (300 sorts) and they offer you trios between 18$ and 24$ (3 different wine glasses). Also, they have great strong spirits. Don't hesitate to ask them to guide you through this tasting journey, waitress/waiter etc. know what they're talking about.

If you want to have a table during weekend nights, take time to make a reservation.

Where to drink?

Are you tired to go to the same places all the time where you'll pay for a drink you know you could get for so much cheaper somewhere else a.k.a at home (not alone obviously)? Well, we found this little bar on Laurier called Dieu du Ciel!

"Depuis l’ouverture en 1998 de sa brasserie artisanale de l'avenue Laurier à Montréal, Dieu du Ciel ! a pour objectif de brasser les meilleures bières, sans compromis, afin de vous offrir une expérience gustative unique et intense. Peu importe les coûts de production, le travail nécessaire ou la difficulté à produire une bière, notre motivation première est de toujours vous offrir des bières originales et satisfaisantes."

So this microbrewery offers you around 20 different sorts of beer! It's packed on friday nights, but the crowd and bar are worth it! Enjoy, and if you driving, don't forget to take it easy!
