*Question of the day...what do you prefer, rain or snow?* ❓ Hope you enjoy this vid from downtown mtl... when you're done, consider checking out: - My "All Montreal videos" playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLy6sv6ZuyrMs6HpAs7uAKWMJluZkUmpkB - My Clips channel for bite-sized content: ru-vid.com/show-UCIB9JqbxnaMQa6VzBLwWqYA - Buy me a coffee for the next rainy day: paypal.me/danvineberg Catch you next time. ✌ - dan
I have mixed feelings because snow is beautiful to look at while rain is depressing. However, I'll take rain ANY DAY over snow because it means that the temperature is above zero, you don't have to shovel rain and snow causes far more automobile accidents than rain ever could. Rain FTW.
I'm proud to say I can do the underground city completely blindfolded now... the trick is forcing yourself to use it, so you become more comfortable with it and learn all the little nooks and crannies. It takes a lot of time but it's worth it! Great video Dan!
Salut Dan, petit "local tip" pour la météo. Regarde toujours le "Weather Radar" sur météo média. Tu vas voir précisément où et quand il va pleuvoir. Ça marche 9 fois sur 10. Je dois le faire souvent pour savoir quand marcher mon chien qui HAIT ÊTRE MOUILLÉE! 😂😂 Keep up the super cool job! Montréal a encore beaucoup de petits coins cachés dans la ville et aux alentours.
Hey man, I am from Lebanon and just moved to Montréal 3 days ago. Your videos are helping me a lot to understand life in the city so thank you for that ! :) Hope to come accross you some day for a coffee or beer Cheers
one time the orange line was broken and it was minus 35 outside i walked in the underground from Square victoria to Place des art without going outside.
I dont think this is a bad thing. We need all the rain we get so Montreal stays green and lovely. The forecast is always changing, you can’t truly rely on it. Just enjoy all the wetness Montreal gives you :)
It’s so good to have some rain from time to time especially when I look at all the droughts going on in the world. Some places are so dry. Montreal is blessed to have rain. Just bring a small umbrella and you’re good to go!
Another lovely video of the glorious urban feast that is Montreal. I have been there a couple of times, always staying at the Auberge Alternative de Vieux Montreal. By the way, I love life giving rain. Water pouring down is so beautiful and poetic. Bravo Dan for your string of lovely and meaningful videos!
Just walking on St. Catherine is one of my favourite pastimes. We were heading east after seeing a movie on Atwater when the thunderstorm started. Normally I’d just keep walking but this was a big one so had to shelter in a doorway with a bunch other people. One bolt of lightning was way too close.
That summer rain helps keeps the city lush in the summer. 🌧 🌳 BTW, visit: La Croissanterie Figaro - it's not too far from the Plateau area. Walk a bit further and you'll get to the Saint-Viateur Bagel (I prefer it over the Fairmount Bagel). p.s. most viewers don't expect perfection... the imperfections is the way of life, it's part of the journey.
We definitely haven't figured out how to navigate the underground city yet! Even though we don't spend the winters here, we would like to use it to dodge the rain, but we always get lost down there :)
It took me months to find the entrance from the complex of malls from the north side so I had a friend who worked at a bunch of places downtown as a guide when I decided to try to walk the entire underground. We started somewhere west of Bell Centre and headed east. There was a new discovery at the end of each long passageway like the indoor skating rink and atrIum with the piece of the Berlin Wall. I kept checking the map but it was no good for finding the many entrances, especially one east of Place Bonaventure that even the guy at the nearby STM booth couldn’t point out. Not sure if I can remember how to navigate all 33 kilometres if I want to do it again. Maybe next winter I’ll try showing some newcomer around.
6:48 Actually that video Dan is the first one that I Saw to your RU-vid channel “Living in Montreal changed how I see Canada” and so happy because of you I know now so much of Montreal and his culture I’m going to Move there and I’m so happy your videos makes my days loud of info, so thanks so much dude! Saludos desde Panamá 🇵🇦 soy tu fan y tocayo! Jajaja 🤙🏻
I live in Dartmouth Nova Scotia and we typically get so much rain rain throughout spring summer and fall lol, but this summer has been hot and sunny and humid but we’ve barely seen rain this year. We got lucky here this year. Hopefully the weather will be great in Montreal next spring and summer because it does suck having too much rain during our warm/hot seasons.
Hi, Dan! OMG... Dunn's by Dorchester Square is awesome with delicious food, great service, and cool atmosphere! Dunn's was the first place I ever ate in Montreal because I was staying at Sherbrooke and Rue Stanley. The nearby Cathedrale Marie-Reine-du-Monde is my favorite church in Montreal, even over Notre-Dame Basilica and St Joseph's Oratory. Nice video!
My last trip to Montréal was for Canada day up from NYC with friends and yep, rained everyday and I was cold but coming from Houston originally I was loving it. Our rain is hot and gross
@@TheNewTravel It’s in Montreal Est/Point-aux-Trembles between the 40 and 138 (Sherbrooke) east of the 25. Not a pleasant bike ride so you might want to check it out with a friend who has a car.
I’m about a 3hr drive south of ya. So hot and humid this summer. Enjoying the channel and just waiting for the random Covid testing at the boarder to go away. Hoping Sept 30th. Maybe a Habs game this fall. Anyway, thank you for all the great content.
I normally only watch vlog like this from Japan or China a country and city I don't actually live in haha Glad to see someone filming montreal 🥰 Merci et bonne continuité 🤗
I was in Parc Jean-Drapeau on the same day, waiting for the site to open for a Rammstein show. Got completely soaked by 3 downpours, but the show was still worth it!
Sorry about seeing this so late. Your comment about downtown Ottawa had me laughing out loud. I have been there more often than Montréal or Toronto or other big cities and, yes, it's definitely sleepier. PS Est-ce que je puis te demander d'où vient ton nom de famille Vineberg? C'est un très beau nom.
I miss the neighbourhood tours Dan. If I remember correctly you did NDG, Verdun, Plateau and some other places. Are there still more cool hoods in MTL? What's Laval like, too suburban?
Hey man! We've met before near Saint Laurent and Saint urbain, cool local thing that only locals know about: Trackside/fattale Full disclosure, it's a crowd of subcultures, like a distillation of many Montreal activists, punks, socialists, goths, anarchists, etc, HOWEVER, the music, the people, the conversations, and the genuine feeling of acceptance is unimaginable in most places in north America, and it's HUGE. It's part venue part lodging and I believe cooperatively owned in a former industrial factory. You'd probably wanna dress for at least a rock concert, but then again, the people are the type to match your energy if you engage.
@@TheNewTravel look up The TraXide, it is indeed in that area, I dunno if I'd recommend bringing a full camera rig in there as it might make some people uncomfortable, but if you go in as a curious friend, you could definitely get a million unique perspectives on Montreal, just work your magic and tell them about your channel, I'm sure you'll catch a few great interviews and more likely than not make some really interesting friends. They're rough around the edges but gentle and really caring when you talk to them.
Been visiting MTL about 2 to 3x a Month since 2018 and I'm skeptical about Montréal raining problem lol Its definitely not a problem perhaps in Boston we may get rain on pretty random weather/day. Nevertheless, I enjoyed your video (:
The rain doesn't adversely effect the quality of the poutine or the MSM so it's all good. But living downtown? Non, merci. I'll stick with good old NDG
Lmao maybe tourists or newcomers dont understand the underground map but every real montrealer knows exactly how the underground thing works. I mean you shouldn’t forget or underestimate that some of us grew up here and spent our childhood and teenage years hanging out everywhere lol.
