Q: i'm coming to montreal next week and i would like to hear some ideas on places i should hit up for shopping. i'm 17 & a girl. any places i have to go to? i'm going to be right downtown. i want a new bookbag for school too if theres any ideas as to where i should get that. thanks!
A: Try these places: Centre Eaton http://centreeaton.shopping.ca/cambridge/jsp/index_flash.jsp?mallid=eat Les Ailes de la Mode http://www.lesailes.com/en/accueil.htm Promenade de la Cathedrale (Kind of sacrilegious but they have a large mall built beneath this church) http://www.waa-ap.com/an/projetsan/udp/cathean.html And if you walk up and down either Sherbrooke Street or St. Catherine Street, you will find all sorts of boutiques and businesses. Sherbrooke Street is a bit like Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills...we have some museums with expensive art studios, jewelry stores, and clothing shops mixed in. St Catherine Street is a more down to earth section for the average person and a lot of people set up stands on street corners to sell home made jewelry, or to make caricatures or sketches.
