Do not get a car unless you get out of the city. You'll probably be near a metro 95% of the time. If you're okay with some walking - Guigue Mar 28, 08:34 4

- Also, I'm assuming you'll travel by air. If you want to take a metro/bus card for the week, know that there's a shuttle from the airport to downtown - Guigue Mar 28, 08:38 2
  - Yes, thank YOU!! very kind - Pippy: Mar 28, 08:50 1

  - Haha, right near the Orange Julep? That will be fine for the Metro, though it's not a great area for eating, going out etc -- nm - Roger More Mar 28, 08:41 4
    - OMG, I had to look that up, SM is going to lose his mind over that LOL -- nm - Pippy: Mar 28, 08:59
    - (If you do need nearby suggestions, the Baton Rouge nearby would be up your street, and there's an Indian restaurant called Pushap which is very good) -- nm - Roger More Mar 28, 08:44 2
      - Yes! thanks. I am writing these all down -- nm - Pippy: Mar 28, 08:56 1
        
        For Montreal style food, here are some suggestions - Roger More Mar 28, 09:30
  - You're a 6 minute walk from Métro Namur on the orange line, which will take you directly to the old port - Guigue Mar 28, 08:41 1
    - this is so helpful. we are up for walking -- nm - Pippy: Mar 28, 08:53
  - i popped in there to use their washrooms in January! :) -- nm - Andie Mar 28, 08:41 1
