...come home, but the thought of another week watching “Scrubs” reruns is a little too depressing. Fortunately, it’s not too late to abandon ship. Beat the intersession blues with a trip to Montreal and enjoy the city’s foreign cool, quirky accents, and friendly drinking age. First, indulge your appetite at Les Chenets with classic Québécois poutine—fries, gravy, and juicy cheese curds. Mmm, heart disease. Then head to St-Viateur for soft Montreal bagels and slab on some famous Montreal smoked meats from...
