The MREBlog Welcomes Sonia and her Montreal Food Reviews
Did you know that in Montreal we have more restaurants per capita than most North American cities? With the only exception of New York.
At one point, I started a restaurants reviews section called Eatery. In all honesty, as much as I wanted to continue to write about food, my attention got always re-directed to Real Estate Advice. So that was it for the restaurant posts.

Lucky me, I found Sonia.
Sonia is a young Real Estate Broker, a colleague from McGill Immobilier, who also happens to be the go-to person for Restaurant reviews. You want to know what’s hot in the city? or a good piano bar? Best Japanase spot in town? Ask Sonia. She will know.
A self-proclaimed “Foodie”. She loves to explore new spots, from the little start-ups places (hole in the wall, as she calls them) to the well established ones.
Sonia, we’re all looking forward to your reviews. Welcome to the Montreal Real Estate Blog!

Services you can’t do without

(Chez Bobette on Rue Duluth, just east of Rue St Hubert)
This laundromat saved my life.
Ok, maybe it didn’t go as far as saving my life. But I have to share with you this wonderful service, specially if you live in the plateau and you’re too busy to take care of your own clothes.
Yes, one can be that busy.
Back in the day when I had just started in real estate, I had another job (yes, two!) and no free time at all. I had been working seven days a week, long hours for a very long time, and I completely neglected to do laundry.
At the time I was living in a building where the laundry facilities consisted in one very slow washer and one very old dryer, which was to be shared with another 16 neighbours. Also, the laundry room was located in the basement. I don’t like basements (or anything with low ceilings for that matter). So doing a load of laundry became a task to be put off for every following night. And every night there was a new excuse:
“Too tired.
The washer’s already taken.
Not enough time.
I have an early day tomorrow”
Pick one.
By the time I realized it, I had very little clothes left in my closet, there was a good pile of unwashed stuff. I remember taking out 7 garbage bags full of laundry. All of my clothes, my linens, towels and basically anything washable I had at home.
I was decided to do it all at once. Go to a Laundromat early in the morning and spend the whole day in the oh-so-wonderful task of doing laundry. I had to skip work that day just to get all my washing done. When I walked into this place, something wonderful happened. The clerk asked me if I was doing a drop-off and for when I needed it done.
A drop off?
It never occurred to me that a small laundry-mat can offer that type of service. Perfect!
Ever since then, I never fret laundry day. If the going gets rough, and the pile gets too big to handle at once, I just pack it up and drop it off at Chez Bovette!
Well, now is a little different. I live in Old Montreal. I got my own ensuite washer and dryer (heavy duty, I may add) but still, I love that service. And if you suffer from panic attacks at the moment of washing clothes…this place might be just for you :)

Video: The Manhattan Bridge Shows Some Moves.
I’ve seen this video twice over the weekend and it still creeps me out a little. You can see the movement on the bridge each time the subway passes through. These types of bridges are supposed to be flexible, but to see it in action, it just a little freaky.
I enjoy road trips to New York- about twice a year- Believe me when I tell you: next time I’m crossing this bridge, I’ll be thinking about this video!

Humor: The Pushy Real Estate agent
A while back, I watched this same video at Louis Sabourin’s blog, and I thought it was brilliant.
I’m a big fan of British comedy. I just love their dry sense of humor. This one in particular, shows you an extremely pushy real estate agent trying to sell his listing in a very strange way. Enjoy it!
