23 Best Things to Do in Montreal
"Jewish food historian Kat Romanow knows her bagels, bialys, and rugelachs. She holds a Masters in food studies from Concordia University. She knows the history of every nook, cranny, and back alley in these neighborhoods, and is completely integrated into the community. Her Beyond the Bagel walking food tour, offered through the Museum of Jewish Montreal, is a highly informative, well-organized romp. The Plateau and Mile End might be known today for their posh hipsters and nightlife hotspots, but this tour pulls back the curtain on the layers of history found in this part of the city. It's a much more fulfilling dive into Montreal cuisine than just grabbing a bagel or smoked meat sandwich on your own. As much of the excursion is outdoors, just note that this one is not generally offered between November and March." - Todd Plummer
