Dry off, Montreal, but don't dry out.
With a hopeful reprise from what feels like a neverending trip to Splash Mountain this past week, the next few days are looking up with a new spot for martinis, a new wine bar, a country bar where you could win up to $800 with a pint, upcoming tastings—all the saucy works.
On top of all that, everywhere from the Plateau to PSC has got some form of neighbourhood-wide or pedestrian party going on, leaving most with little to no time to catch their breath. The last few weeks of storms and gray, wet days may have left us feeling like summer's over, but that's far from the case when you look at everything we've collected this time 'round.
