Just a super funky and cool street to walk around and explore.
Meander around and view urban street art, drop in a coffee shop, pick up a few things at a specialty boutique, grab a bite at a deli or bistro, find a hidden bar or pub, or just kick back with a cold drink on one of the patio seating areas and watch the world go by.
Some parts of this street are closed off to traffic too, so fairs and festivals are a great way to walk around when happening.
To me this part of Montreal has a very Bohemian feel to it. Kind of like Brooklyn before all the hipsters moved in, gentrified the area, and ruined it. Also, as with most of Montreal, the streets are clean here.
