Montreal’s PARADISE (21 October 2026)
I’ve been in NY for the last few days and y’all I forgot how LOUD it is…yes awesome city great food blah blah but the screaming police sirens, cars blaring their horns, people yelling, subway car wheels screeching…UGH. I can’t wait to get back to Montreal. Maybe I’m just getting old..I don’t know. But generally rubber Metro wheels are better than metal ones. You can never ever convince me otherwise. I will pitch a tent, collect retirement and die on that hill. Trust and believe.
But on the flip side, the Fall weather is better in NYC. I’m wearing a light jacket..what y’all wearing? LOL. I mean I can’t laugh too hard cuz it’s gonna be me in a bit womp womp…anyway, get the funk out the house while you can.

RAMEN RAMEN FES
This time of year, there’s nothing like a good soup, and i wouldn’t be a proper foodie if I didn’t tell you that this is the last weekend to try a bunch of different varieties of my favorite soup: Ramen. No not the crappy kind that you get in the market that tastes like rubber after you pour the hot water over it (I ate it in college too, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t shitty).. I’m talking about the good stuff. A bunch of different restaurants are serving it up, and they want to know which is your favorite. There’s even an interactive map of the restaurants.
