Ok. I admit it. I loved Montreal.

Montrealers are known for their pride of their hometown. I think they deserve to be. Montreal is a great city and their ability to hold on to two cultures and languages for generations is something I greatly admire and even envy. Coming from NYC, I respect and understand cultural, hometown pride and Montrealers have much to be proud about, including all the awesome they have to offer those who visit. They are friendly and happy to share their city with you – to show it off, if you will – and I was more than happy to take it all in.

Montreal rocks and I can’t wait to go back and think you should visit as well.

In the meantime, here are some photos from my trip.

    LOVE Montreal. It is a place our family vacations at least once per year. I was there in November and every time I go, I love the city more. It is such a diverse and exciting city, one that anyone and any family can really enjoy. I really liked your photos they portrayed the beauty of the city. familyfoodtravel.blogspot.ca

    I'm so glad you went to Palais de Congres, one of my favourite places to shoot in Montreal.

Almost 6 months ago, and after a few months of hos Almost 6 months ago, and after a few months of hosting just family and friends at home, I launched to the public a “little something” I felt was really bringing me joy and really made others happy too…a reason to come together. I wanted something that allowed for more in-person connections in a way that I loved to do so the most…by serving something yummy to strangers and friends alike. Café Cómodo has become more than I expected, faster than I imagined, and some of the hardest work I’ve done to date. But I love it. And now, we’ve secured a long term partnership with @sulfurbooks, in Clifton Springs, NY. Started January 10, 2026 and every second Saturday of the month till December 2026 (with a few extra events sprinkled in between), we will be serving a community of growing fans in a community bookstore we all adore. I look forward to continued growth, more meaningful partnerships, and making people happy, one cafecito at a time. ☕️ Thank you to everyone who has been supportive of my little café dreams from day 1. Look what you helped make possible!! Thank you to Sarah and team for this opportunity and to the Clifton Springs community for the warm welcome. 🫶🏾 #cafecomodo
May your bellies be happy and your hearts full. ❤️ #givingthanks #familia #turkeyday
Growing up in New York City with easy access to it Growing up in New York City with easy access to its holiday sceneries it was difficult to imagine that the holidays anywhere else could feel as special. Then later, my travels exposed me to some pretty spectacular holidays around the world that I would add as absolute musts. And now, living in rural New York, I have to say there is also something very sweet about small town holidays. For one, the little parades that bring so many people - many of whom you get to know personally when living in a small town - are really endearing. And also, the generic commercialism doesn’t overpower the holidays because there are so many quaint small businesses to support and shop in. And so it very much gives that Hallmark feel that so many people from the larger cities crave, especially this time of year. And while that special feeling might be lost on some, for me, it still is very much palpable and one of my favorite things about living in the Finger Lakes. 📸 Parade of Lights in Corning, NY. #fingerlakes #smalltownchristmas❤️ #newyork #upstateny
I’ve passed through Penn Station more times than I’ve passed through Penn Station more times than I can count, usually with the same mindset: get in, get out, get going. But this time I wandered into the newer Moynihan Train Hall, and for a moment the city actually felt…generous. Sunlight spills through the skylights, the space breathes in a way old Penn never did, and then you look up - like really look - and there they are: vibrant stained-glass break dancers floating overhead, created by Kehinde Wiley. If his name sounds familiar, it’s because he’s the brilliant artist behind President Obama’s official portrait. Here, though, it’s not about presidents or formality. It’s about movement, street culture, and the energy that makes New York what it is. A reminder that art belongs everywhere, even above a busy train platform. If you find yourself here, give yourself the gift of a slow minute to look up above the rush. #NYCArt #KehindeWiley #MoynihanTrainHall #slowtravel
