> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by matt\_mcl \* > \*\*OK, here’s one for dinner on Sunday. There is this absolutely wonderful Greek/Italian restaurant on the Plateau (Villeneuve and Jeanne-Mance, not too far from Metro Laurier) called the Terrasse Lafayette. Run by absolutely charming people, huge & delicious portions, and my parents used to live above it. How can you not?! \*\* Dinner Sunday or Saturday? ---

Ooh, there’s a CHINATOWN? I want to go to Chinatown! I’ve never been in a Chinatown! ---

Well, this is looking relatively possible for me. I’ve got commitments on both Friday and Saturday night at 8:00, so if there’s anything happening on Saturday before 4:00 (gotta give myself plenty of leeway, 'cause I _can’t_ be late) or at all on Sunday I can do it. ---

Later, probably drinks again. I know a relaxed place in the Village that does Karaoke. (Not with the freaky backgrounds like [this](http://filebox.vt.edu/users/awitt/money_funny.asx) :D.) If you want to take Monday off (I will be) you can crash at my place, because I believe **lno** , **Maeglin** , and **Elenfair** will be gone by then. ---

If anyone’s interested in Greek food (I saw the Casa Greque mention above), there’s an Arahova’s on crescent street. ---

Help me out, here. I don’t want to have to make an executive decision! 😉 And **Daer** , are you up for a mini-Dope to see Austin Powers in Goldmember? (Thread is somewhere, don’t know…) And **dammit, I wanna see Toronto Dopers at Doperéal!!!** ---

I just want to take you guys to Lafayette on either day. It’s fabulous and they’re wonderful people who deserve the business. ---

I don’t know, I think we should go for the Greek on Saturday night and keep up the brunch at Chinatown idea. Any other suggestions? I mostly go for either sushi (which has already been ixnayed) or fast food 🙂 ---

I mostly go for either sushi (which has already been ixnayed) or fast food 🙂 \*\* I’m just thinking logistics. If we’re going to tour the Old Port & Old Montreal Saturday evening, I think we should have dinner somewhere more central. And since the Greek place is on the Plateau (rather high up, I might add), and we’ll be strolling on the Main & St-Denis Sunday, then we’d be in the area. And in terms of fast food, lunch Saturday (informal) must be at La Belle Province. POUTINE!! 🙂 [Homer Simpson]Mmmm… poutine.[/Homer Simpson] 😃 ---

Well, I discovered a nice sum of cash today that might make Dopereal a possibility. Now I just have to figure out how in the BLAZING hell I’m going to get up there. Driving, unless there is someone to drive WITH for a significant portion of the trip, is not really an option because I’m the sort of stubborn mule who would only take three or four breaks of like a minute each. And that could make me possibly end up dead (highway hypnosis, etc). Anyone wanna meet me halfway, or should I pour some of that $ into roundtrip airfare or a train? (SOME. Not $477, which is what I saw some Montreal tickets going for.) ---

Woohoo! Only a month to go! 🙂 It turns out my dear friend **depgrl** (post count of 1) might be attending some of the events. It’ll be interesting to see who frightens who first: her or you nutjobs. :eek: **depgrl** is… special. 😛 ---

She may be special, but there are more of us;) All someone need do is point to the TMI thread. Wait. That would frighten everybody but me. Oops. ---

Do any Montreal Dopers know of a particularly good dim sum place? I’m not familiar with it at all. And we have to decide on where to go for dinner on Saturday. I think we’ve got Sunday dinner covered (the Greek place **matt** suggested).
