RichieNextel305 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Agree on SuperSexe. I think Club Downtown is better. I think it was Le Gentlemens Club too. Chez Paree' was cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick release Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Whatever you do, skip the "Underground City". It's a damn mall. Also, bring boots. You'll be glad you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viventi Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 old montreal was pretty nice...I honestly don't remember where I went most of the time last time I was there. The Rangers played the Habs on St Patricks day so most of the time was spent drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindG1000 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 A few things worth doing: Old Montreal is wonderful. Just go. Hit up the Granby Zoo. Student discount is like $25 Canadian for the Zoo and a trip to the top of the spire near Olympic Stadium. The zoo itself is amazing - it's very free-form (some animals are even on the walkways) and it aims to recreate environments in different biomes. You'll walk from a decidedly hot and humid rainforest into a taiga forest. Smoke a Cuban cigar. Montreal has some awesome tobacconists. Ultimately, though, as my comrades above have alluded to, this is not a "family city" Montreal truly shines at night - the damn city doesn't wake up until sundown. If it had good casinos, it would easily be the "Vegas of the East" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Why are you guys telling him to hit the titty bars when he will be with his dad I'm pretty sure dads like titties. In fact, they probably had something to do with them becoming dads in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdMc28 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 What's the best way to go about getting tickets? As of now I'm just planning on picking them up the day habs tickets go on sale to the public. Is there a better way? Looking to sit in the lower bowl and spend less than $300 per ticket..

RichieNextel305 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Best way is to honestly buy online. Thats how I do it when I go to the Bell Centre. Sitting in the upper bowl there is actually pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Secondary market, because I'm usually in no rush to buy them because I usually wait and see how many I'd need anyway. You can give it a shot though. If all else fails, the secondary market is always there. I'm probably doing the March 30th game there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
