Atwater Market
The Marché Jean-Talon opened in Montreal’s North End, 1933 as a place for farmers to sell their wares to restaurants and consumers eager for straight-from-the-farm produce. Today, the market is one of the largest public outposts in North America and filled year-round with produce, flowers, spices, cheese, meat, fish, and purveyors offering Canadian favorites like maple syrup, ice cider, and poutine—the late night snack that blends French fries, cheese curd, and gravy.

Opening its doors in 1927 -- in the midst of the roaring twenties -- the Dominion Square Tavern survived neighboring fires and the Great Depression to temporarily become one of Montreal’s first gay bars in the '70s -- moving their entrance to the more discreet back alley (the original sign still hangs there). Women were banned from the establishment until 1988 when men-only taverns became outlawed.

McKibbin's has franchised into four locations in and around Montreal, but its original location on Bishop was originally the sandstone mansion of Dr. Frank Richardson England and his wife, Octavia Grace Ritchie (who happened to be the first woman to receive a medical degree in Quebec). In 1912, George McKibbin -- who immigrated to Canada with his family aboard the doom-awaiting Lusitania -- opened the mansion up as a bar. The family was scheduled to set sail on the Titanic, but luckily were forced to postpone the trip due to illness...

Futuristic, originally built for Expo 1967.
Designed by architect Moshe Safdie it was meant to re-imagine apartment living to be more in line with the utopian ideals of the 1960s. The result is a 13-story apartment building that resembles something a toddler would make out of building blocks. Its sprawling interconnected design sits on a man-made peninsula near the city’s Old Port making it easy to admire from a distance.
