Why I Must Visit Montreal

blue starMontreal is the love child of Old World charisma and the cultural mosaic sensibility of North America. The result is a city huge on taste, sophistication and culinary pleasures. Residents have a proud maniacal obsession with food and drink. WorldGuide:Montreal
blue starWiki:Perhaps no single contribution from the allophone communities is more perceived than in Montreal's culinary fabric. Italian, Greek, Portuguese and Jewish communities have contributed to the making up of Montreal's delicatessens and other restaurants. Poutine being one of the most favorite foods of French-Canadians is served almost everywhere. Jewish culinary contributions extended to two of the world-renowned smoked meat sandwiches and Montreal style bagels. Lebanese falafels and Japanese sushi have become appreciated cuisines. This wide variety of cuisines certainly participates to the fact that Montreal is one of the cities with the most restaurants in the world.

Not to mention the 7th cleanest in the world(according to Forbes)!...sounds like my kind of city.
