Breakfast, blogs and barbershops

Watch "The Roots - What They Do (No Subtitles)" on YouTube

Happy weekend foodies!! It's been a hectic coupke of weeks but we here at RealCity Epicurean are back in the fullest effect for thus weekend's getdown!... So here's the rundown: Kicking things off with a tremendous brunch at famed breakfast eatery Fabrege in Mile-End. It was a spur of the moment thing and I had two old friends tag along. And that my friends is usually the recipe to a good time. Great company and GREAT food. Stay tuned for the review; the link to The Roots will be explained... Tonight we got Nuit Blanche, major event in town as part of the Montréal en Lumiere festival that popped off last week. Nightowls and insomniacs can revel in a host of activities that are being held in, around and underground town. From fireworks to choirs to salsa dancing to art exhibits, and yes, even a cooking workshop lots to do all over town all night! Best part: most of these activities are free AND, for added convenience, the Metro runs all night! check out the website or download the free app for iPhone or Android. So tonight, a little Korean BBQ and some nocturnal adventure... For those not enclined to step out, it back and enjoy the prowess of the home team who's been on a bit of a run lately as they have a back to back against the Penguins and dastardly Bruins. BIG shoutout to my beloved Canadiens... Lastly as mentioned in a previous post, I'm embarking on a path in the culinary arena by attending culinary school. And this week things have become official as I'm finally registered for classes in the spring! I want to thank any and all who showed support along the way. Promise I will not let you down! Happy weekend people! As always, make it count...its less than 48hrs till Monday!
