Travel is an enjoyment. Traveling to new places with family makes the experience many times better. Traveling to new cities with family celebrating birthdays in fine restaurants are moments to cherish for the lifetime. We traveled to Montreal, Quebec City and New York City to celebrate two birthdays.
Transportation
Montreal and NYC both have decent public transportation systems. Quebec City is best explored by walking around. Uber rides are just a few clicks away in these cities, and they are relatively inexpensive. VIA Rail Canada offers decent rides between Canadian Cities. These trains are punctual in departure but tend to run behind on arrival, unlike the EuroRail.
Recommended Eateries
Montreal: There is no shortage of great restaurants, also try the “snack” such as poutines, crepes, St. Viateur bagels, local breakfast and La Maison Smith coffee in Quebec cities. We also recommend the Restaurant Bonaparte (reservation needed), Jardin Nelson restaurant, Cardinal Teahouse.
New York City: COTE Korean Steakhouse (Michelin 1-star, reservation needed), Georgian bistro Cheeseboat, Banana pudding at Magnolia Bakery, Chocolate chip cookies at Levain Bakery, Crepes cake at Lady M, Mediterranean brunch Jack’s wife freda.
Without a doubt, the best meal in this trip went to the home made dinner by our daughter serving us hot and healthy chicken pot pie and roasted eggplants.
Coming up next: Montreal
