While Lou and I were in Montreal this weekend, as I mentioned in my previous post, we were checking out all the restaurants, but we were also checking out a lot of the sites. Our new friend Guy Brisson was nice enough to take us on a whirlwind tour of the city Saturday so we could decide where we wanted to check out more closely on Sunday. What we noticed all around the city were Bixi stands. http://www.bixi.ca/. These are bike terminals located every several blocks. The bikes are like beach cruisers, they've got only 3 gears and they have a small grate upfront with a bungee which allows you to carry small packages, a purse, backpack etc...We decided to be adventurous and try a couple. With$5 you can get a code to unlock a bike, after that, the amount you are charged is by the half hour until you return your bike to another terminal anywhere in the city. We took our bikes for a ride down Rue St. Laurent on our way to Schwartz's smoked meat. Once there, we parked our bikes, had lunch at Jano, and then decided to walk. Our walk took us through a park, we saw a man sleeping by his lunch time wine carafe. We walked through the Latin Quarter of the city, and we even happened upon Henri, Henri, a famous seller of chapeaux's! In the end we had biked about 3 miles and walked about 4, and we had worked up an afternoon appetite. We made it back to our hotel the Place d'Armes, and decided a cappuccino would be a nice treat for the afternoon,
that is when we happened upon Les Glaceurs. Montreal's answer to the cupcake craze. Lou and I got caught up in the craze when we happened upon Sweet this summer in Boston. Since then, we have been hitting up cupcake places whenever we happen upon them. Some notables are Kick A$$ cupcakes in Somerville, Ma, and Sprinkles in Beverly Hills. (they claim to have started the craze) At Les Glaceurs, we opted for two red velvet cupcakes with traditional cream cheese frosting, and a cappuccino each. The picture above is right before I dug in. The cappuccino milk was steamed perfectly. It had a bit of sweetness without adding sugar that a properly steamed cup has. The red velvet cupcake the most moist out of all the ones we have tried. I would say it even rivaled Sprinkles.

I want you to change your picture to one of you shoving a big cupcake in your mouth.
