At a risk of disagreeing with yet another OLY list luminary, I must
comment that Montreal, despite its numerous guilty pleasures, is no
Paris -- in the same vein as Philadelphia or Boston would make poor
substitutes for New York City. For once, you won't find a decent
pastrami on rye in Paris (try Schwartz's in Montreal!), and Montreal
is not exactly the place for a good couscous royale (try Chez Beber
in Paris). :-)

Masochist! Brrr, just the THOUGHT of it makes me feel freezing cold.
