I went to Montreal for my first Grand Prix weekend this year with my brother and sister in law. From the second we got off the plane they told me that we HAD to go to Schwartz's while we were in the city. We ended up going on Saturday afternoon, just after qualifying, when Portugal was playing their first Euro... more

You go to Schwartz's for the smoked meat and the turkey. Not the ambience, not the glamour. Get a few sandwiches and walk down Pins to the park and have a picnic. Walk up and down the mountain a few times to burn the calories. Then go back for another smoked meat sandwich (medium fat!). I am not sure why... more
