GOURMET TRUCKS HIT MONTREAL SUMMER 2013

Again my foodie brother and sister- in - law got us out in the fresh air to enjoy the latest trend in food, from a gourmet food truck. These were at Place du Canada, and I had a terrific Raclette with a simple combo of potato, onion and pickle. It was terrific! The app to find these was pretty helpful, but we never did get to the coffee truck! Maybe next visit?

CAFE NEVE on Rachel in the Plateau

Incognito but caffeinated!

NEW YORK NEW YORK

It was a dream come true! Summer in NYC with my brother and sis -in - law. We had not enough meals and too little time, but here are a few memories!

Rockefeller centre by LEGO! Is there anything you can't make in Lego?!

DARBAR on E 46TH
We had a amazing meal here! We took a chance and were very happy!

The Brooklyn Diner is a  place that  keeps us coming back! I was sad to see they had changed the nostalgia though. You won't leave here hungry!

This is so weird to me as a Canadian. Those aren't smarties, they're ROCKETS!

POUTINE WARS

Every time my brother comes to visit, I gain weight. This is in part because of his obsession to find the best poutine. The visit before last, he ate poutine DAILY. It's hard to keep up with someone 9 years your junior and a stone or two heavier, so I didn't compete! But this place seemed a little special, and, sorry for the blinking photo, but did you eat any of La Rachel?! Not to worry, my brother's plate is almost empty! Love the back terrace at La Banquise!
