When I was growing up, my mother would often talk of her Saturdays spent at the Jean-Talon Market in Montreal.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a bucket list (and itinerary) for a day in New York, with a focus on Manhattan. I promised a similar post, but with a focus on Brooklyn – so here we are! I’m excited to share this post, because Brooklyn is a ton of fun and while in […]
In Montreal, there is always some sort of festival or event taking place – whether it be 30 degrees (yup, we use Celsius!) and sunny or below freezing.

Whether you’re a (super)fan […]
While you’re in kid mode at Universal Studios (jumping from one ride to another, in awe of all the colours and characters, walking in freakin’ Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley…), it’s natural to want to indulge in some treats. You’ll also need to refuel. Here is where and how to eat vegan at Universal Studios Orlando (some not-so-healthy treats […]
It’s no secret that I’m a major sweet tooth. When it comes to food, I always say yes to dessert (and usually have it first). And I’m not picky – if it’s sweet, I’ll eat it and I’ll enjoy it. Of course, these days I’m partial to vegan dessert, so I thought I’d do a sort-of […]
It’s been awhile since I’ve written a post about eating vegan food in Montreal and since I last did, I’ve discovered a handful of fabulous, already existing veg and veg-friendly places AND a few new joints have opened up.
