How a kid who swore he'd never run the family business ended up exactly in the institution where he belongs.
The 3,500-square-foot beer hall on Plaza Saint-Hubert serves Bavarian drinking traditions with liter steins of German imports along long communal tables.
Montreal's last (and Canada's only) Egyptian Revival movie palace reinvented itself for decades. Now it's been empty for 33 years.

The Bulletin is a collection of what's happened, what’s happening, and what’s to come in and around Montreal.
A young team, an open kitchen, and recipes passed down through generations: Meet Talal Sabbagh's new spot on Saint-Laurent.
The NDG institution and best-kept industry secret that helped launch some of Montreal's best chefs.
Phil Grisé is opening a 26,000-square-foot skate shop in a building Archambault couldn't hold on to —because to him, physical retail isn't dead, it just needs to be worth the trip.
Following the Joe Beef co-founder through two days of cold-climate viticulture harvests where hospitality takes the form of al fresco meals, crushed grapes underfoot, and relentless labour.
The Little Italy bakery that could: Still hand-rolling loaves in its original 1910 brick oven, still telling real estate speculators it's not for sale, just for bread.
