My wife and I are going to be in Montreal on New Year's Eve. Are there any special celebrations scheduled?
The city will have a lot of special events in the nightclubs, restaurants, and special venues. If you're looking for special outdoor gatherings, do remember that it is often -20 Celsius on a Montreal New Year's Eve, so outdoor festivities tend to be rather brief. ;) I know that in the Old Port (around Rue St Paul) there are fireworks.

Enjoy! I know that Montrealers are nice and in the second thought, they are extremely very nice indeed...
I found these 3 performers while walking on Ste-Catherine street. Picture 1 is the first musician I noticed. He was playing something looking like Spanish "castañuelas" (but not quite) and hitting them with the thingie that looks like a bike saddle, making a sound like horse shoes when a horse is walking.
Picture 2 shows a guy dressed like Spider man. He had a radio and was playing some music (couldn't hear what with all the traffic and people talking) but he was whistling louder than any street noise. While whistling and playing music, he was dancing (or something).
Picture 3 shows a man playing the guitar as if it was a piano. Very nice.
As you approach the oratory you will come across this monument to Saint Joseph, who is the patron saint of Canada.
The oratory is open from 6 am to 9 pm daily, and there is no entrance fee.

If it is custom to tip in between 15% - 20% in Montreal, why don't the French Canadians tip us accordingly here? I am a server and in the summer months continuously receive 10% or less from the tourists from Montreal.
Just curious.
Row houses are a common sight in Montreal. (In fact, Montreal is said to have the most row houses of any city in North America.) In some places these homes are built on one of the steep streets leading up to Mont Royal. It reminds me a little bit of San Francisco! In general, the row houses are neat and tidy and contribute a great deal to the ambience of this interesting city.
