The Tributes Continue in November
After Captain Fantastic finished his flamboyant tribute to Elton John on October 19th, there was one question on everyone’s mind, what’s next? The obvious answer was the WPT Montreal which kicked off at Playground on October 25 and runs until November 4. But what about after that? Was that the final curtain call of 2019? The answer to that question became a resounding no! The show must go on and go on it will in November, with not two but three shows a week! Our series of concerts will take place every Thursday to Saturday from November 7 to 23 for a total of 9 shows that are sure to make every night a memorable one. And as was the case in October, they are absolutely FREE! The first weekend will feature a tribute to Tom Petty with Practically Petty covering Petty’s hits with the Heartbreakers as well as his […]

In much the same way our poker events give local players an opportunity to shine on a bigger stage, a different kind of stage will give some local talent the chance to perform their music to […]

Number 2 on our Top 10 – Montreal: A foodie’s paradise!
Food! One of the key benchmarks for measuring how great a city truly is. Not only does Montreal have a ridiculous number of places to eat – there’s one restaurant for every 6 Montrealers – the quality and standard of both casual and fine dining establishments is world class. When Canada’s 100 Best released their list of top restaurants earlier this month, it came as no surprise that Montreal restaurants occupied 21 spots on the list, including 4 in the Top 10. Now if our Glorious Habs could up their game to the same level as our local chefs, we would be perennial Stanley Cup contenders. But that’s a story for another day… now’s the time to dig in. Montreal foodie landmarks: Smoked Meat, Bagels, and Poutine Schwartz’s is the place to go to enjoy the classic taste of Montreal smoked meat. Open for over 90 years, the oldest deli […]
