As always, I'm Dan from The New Travel. Thanks for watching!
*What neighbourhood should I film in next?*
Could you do Ahuntsic sometimes? There is a great spot where you could go called Parc nature de l'ile de la visitation, there's a lot of history and an old water mill/fort ruins. If you never been there before i highly recommend it.
Try Verdun :) Wellington street and the Canal Lachine etc
@@selenameek1795 ndg then little burgundy
Le sud-ouest, griffintown, canal lachine area, st-henri :D
If you haven't done it ride your bike along the Lachine canal well worth it. If open stop by the Terasse St Ambroise for a nice beer right by the factory.
You're showing people the REAL Montréal, if there is such a thing, and I love it! Keep the up the good work, man. Very genuine. Makes me want to watch more even if I live here already!
Ah, Spring is here... the magical 3 weeks when Montreal is not far too cold or far too hot. Hope you are able to enjoy it :) Thanks to Pierre for the help on this video... link to his instagram in the description!
That was a super cool day and I'm glad I could show you around my neighbourhood! :)
*@Pierre Babin* Ah, comme toi aussi: t'es bien frais toi - en plus d'etre ravissant trop, voila` quoi 🙂❤️
merci Pierre
Yes! C’est Pierre! :D
Je me souviens de ce resto. Nous avions été ce chercher de la poutine. Il me semble après le Piknic électronique!
Great video!
Ça me fait beaucoup manquer Mtl
@@Michel2450 Hey allo Michel! :D
@@pierrebabin460 Allo! :D
From someone who works on delivery, I always love to work on this neighborhood ❤️ it’s really a different vibe here on the east side
You should visit le jardin botanique and le parc Maisonneuve, I'd say the parc is one of the main free place people from Rosemont and Hochelaga go to. It's such a great place. Also the jardin botanique is very special at the moment, it's usually full of tourists but due to travelling restrictions right now, it's such a peacefull place to visit.
The drink you had in the park was called 1642. That was the year Montréal was founded by Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve. Nice how the universe brought those things together: you choosing a drink named for the founding of Montréal and the borough you're exploring that shares its name with the founder.
Moving there from Winnipeg at the end of the month! Great to see a fellow Winnipeger thriving in the city.
I just wanted to say I washed all of your content before moving to the city in January and now that I'm here I think you did a very great depiction of what it's like.
I love it here so far.
watched* :)
I grew up in Hochelaga, now living in Pointe-aux-Trembles. My dad used to play softball at Parc Lalancette. There’s so many memories from my childhood in this neighborhood. Thanks 😍
La balle molle était autant populaire à Montréal?
@@Game_Hero Dans mon coin oui. J’étais jeune c’était dans les années 80 😉
@@Game_Hero Elle l'est encore beaucoup dans le coin !
It’s called Taqueria for those who asked below and it will reopen when Hochelag’ will give them the permit or something for the renovations, I was bummed too when I went this weekend, it will not get demolish I think the basic of the building (vintage) will stay. Well that’s what it says on their Facebook page 🤷🏻♀️ Dan you should visit NDG local style.
They moved to another spot a little in the east on Ste-Cath during the reno
Bobo is an accronym that stands for "Beau chic beau genre". It basically means bourgeois. It gets thrown around a lot these days in Hochelaga because the neighbourhood is rapidly gentrifying (e.g. little cafes, yoga studios etc.) That neighbourhood used to be the poorest in the city, and the aforementioned gentrification has driven rent way up, which forces old timers, people who've lived there all their life, out of the neighbourhood.
*edit* I'm sorry to say, but if a restaurant in Hochelaga has a blackboard outside and serves cashew chicken sandwiches instead of steamed hot dogs and poutine, it's definitely Bobo.
Yeah I thought it might have been an anti-gentrification thing. In Mexico there's a word sort of like that, they say "fresa" (meaning strawberry) for people who are upper-class and unwanted in certain neighbourhoods haha
Nope it is Bourgeois Bohème. A Bohemian bourgeois . A parisian version of a hipster! Less geek more into culture.
Arhoma is definitely bobo ! But good bobo!
@@glaframb exactement.
@@neofils You're correct, apologies for the brainfart!
Loving this series already!
That's my neighbourhood!!! I've been living in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve for the past 15 years and I can tell you its reputation is a bit dated. It used to my a tough neighbourhood in the 80's and 90's but not anymore. There are still some rougher patches here and there but I wouldn't consider it as dangerous.
I like that Hochelaga-Maisonneuve still have its unique vibe.
yeah, it's more of a poor neighbourhood than a dangerous one
Aside from a naked man that tried once to get in our appartment at 2am, I never had any problem in my 25 years old life ^^
Great video Dan and Pierre. Keep em coming Dan! 👍🏻😎🇨🇦
I'm moving to Montreal next year & your videos are making me so excited to move!! Keep them going 😊
Moving in 4 months
Thanks for sharing! I'm from Montreal and a bit homesick. It's always nice to watch and be reminded of home
I wish I could just up and move to Montreal already... visited a few years ago, and just fell in love with the city. I love your videos! Despite not being a local or native in the slightest sense, it fills me with a sense of nostalgia to be back one day. Great job!
O looove this city! Can't wait to go back!
I love this video. Born and raised in hochelaga and I truly appreciate how well it is demonstrated here.
I'm practically crying. I used to live in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve not far from Place Valois (where you got your pannini), and I miss this place very-much. It's very safe here, the worse that can happen someone will jump in front of you begging for money. I preferred buying them food, which was always gracefully accepted. My friends live in H-M, so I get to go there. Free Montreal Symphony Orchestra (I miss Kent Nagano)concert in August outdoors at the esplanade of the olympic stadium. In fact, there is freguently stuff going on there. Heated outdoor skating rink in the winter, rave parties...The parc you were at has petanque courts. You must have passed by the underpass, I'm sure, did you see the amazing wall art? Ontario street freguenly has street closures for family fun activities in the warm months, such as acrobatic shows, crafts for kids, etc etc.
Lovely video! I only lived there for the short time.But I really like that they are a lot of local shops there.
can't thank you enough for showing the inner montreal. looking forward to visiting in few weeks
Hochelaga and the east in general was my home for most of my adult life. It has somehow kept it's reputation of being not safe although it is. I have seen it evolved greatly in the past 25 years and it is definitely a great neighbourhood. Also, most of Montreal is safe.
Amazing great video keep up the wonderful job ur doing
Montreal expanding in a human friendly direction looks lovely
I actually stayed in the Hochelaga neighbourhood when I first visited Montreal by myself, it was such a place to stay and I honestly wouldn’t hesitate returning there!
Awesome video. Keep making videos of Montreal.
Started to watch your videos Love your vybeee Ive been living here forever your funny !
Pierre is a cutie. Thanks for showing us your neighbourhood!
Nice! I really enjoyed wandering around Hochelaga when were were there a few years ago. Our only disappointment was the tower at the Olympic Stadium - I would not recommend going up top. It is way too expensive. You can get just as good a view for free on Mt. Royal. Your next mission: try St. Henri. We stayed on another trip to Montreal and loved it - especially the grand parks and the awesome trails along the Lachine Canal (with the St. Ambroise craft beer patio). The long rows of old red brick houses in St. Henri reminded me of the great Canadian novel The Tin Flute by Gabriel Roy - a must read while you are in Montreal!
Good vibes all around 💖💖
Love your videos of Montreal...brings back good memories since I used to live there....try Little Burgundy/Griffintown as neighborhoods to reveiw
griffintown is gentrified and now its moving in saint henri - videos on how to see places where communities who lived there for generations being kicked out cause they cant afford to rent?
Awesome video!!
Cool video. I like your point of view of my city.
It's been so nice to watch your videos, Dan. I'm a Brazilian guy who really wants to get to know this place and maybe call it "home". Keep up the good work!!! 👍
Cheers Marco 🇧🇷
Love to see your videos! Maybe you can show us about Westmount, I saw a little once and seem to be really nice! And Côte-des-neiges, that I've heard a lot but never gone.
Ooh there's so much more to see in Hochelaga. This is my hood. Dairy Queen, boulevard Morgan (free water park)train yard, the pool (soon) community gardens, botanical garden s. Greasy spoon on the corner of Bourbonniere. Huge second hand stores (corner pieIX) all the back streets the"ruelle verte",cycle path. And all the characters. The newcomers are all young and beautiful. There are so many bizarre people here. As soon as you get on the 34 bus (St Catherine) there they are and all their glory. I can't believe you were in my neighborhood I've been watching your videos. When you made the call out last week I had no idea it was a recent video
I mean he got someone from out of mtl to tour him.
@@prafullarora What are you afraid of exactly?
@@prafullarora All moves have their pros and cons. I don't know what reputation you're talking about.
@@prafullarora I am in a so-called rough area and I have forgotten to lock my door on occasion. Montreal is very safe.
hey man, I’ve been watching your videos since you were in Mexico, (I’m mexican) and now I’m studying in Quebec, like an hour away from Mtl, so it’s cool that now you make these videos, you should keep doing it so more people like me can check the cool places from Montreal
That's awesome. Appreciate you Terry 👍
The makerspace I work at is right at the border with Hochelg' near metro Préfontaine. Definitely been enjoying getting to know the hood! I feel like the Promenade Ontario is the East end equivalent to Wellington street in Verdun.
You have to go to Parc Jarry in Villeray, such a nice park
Love the video of my hood! There are so many more places to see, tho : beautiful green alley-ways, the very hipster Atomic Cafe, a wonderful micro-brewery called L’Espace Public, terrasess everywhere!, Marché Maisonneuve. Except for the pandemic era, they also have alley-way concerts. Also, when things get back to normal, they have food truck gatherings at place Sunlife (next to the stadium). Oh! And another amazing bakery called 3 Patapoufs. I’m probably forgetting other cool places. You should do a PART 2 next year!!! 😃
So awesome 🔥
Nice you guys went to the dépanneur hellvis. Such a nice place I go there often. I has the 3 most important food groups : beer, popcorn and candy :D
You may want to take a bike trip along the St. Lawrence River from Verdun to LaSalle to Lachine to Dorval. Check out all the parks along the river, the Lachine Rapids, Lake St. Louis, etc. Stop to eat along the way. You can even come back to the Downtown using the Lachine Canal all the time using only the bike paths!
Dan I love your vids of Montreal im near Sherbrooke metro..
If you ever have the day, go check out Pointe Claire village and St-Anne de Bellevue. They are both located in the West Island, while its mostly suburbs around those two spots are cool and are sort of "hidden gems" unless you live locally. Frankly, if you didn't know any better you wouldn't think you are still on the island of Montreal
I’m moving this year and Hochelaga is one of the hoods I’m looking at. I love the way you pronounce it 😂
I will be in Montreal might be next year And I would love to visit every part of Montreal
good job nice video...always nice to have you be my eyes ...i miss montreal but no hurry to get back atm plane s and borders still too crazy from what i hear
Nice looking place. I always love the Stade Olympique. Please let Pierre that I'm loving his Instagram pics.
Hello from Brazil.
my neighborhood! Having lived in different areas in this city, I can assure you it's safer than most areas downtown.
Pierre is awesome! (to visit another area? Marche atwater!) or little italy.
Great! If you want to the other half of Hochelaga-Maisonneuve (between Pie Ix and Viau) and some alleys tell me. I lived my whole life in this neighboorhood.
I will share your videos with my friends 👼
cool shades you have !
My hood !!!! :D Near the church you showed in the beginning, there is also a bloc gym called Bloc shop and it's the beeeest place ! (not sure if they're still open because of covid right now). Hochelag is an amazing place to live.
I LOVE bloc shop
I live in Hochelag, that tacos place is La Taqueria and is temporarily closed currently
You've got to love those cônes oranges in the summer 🤣🤣🤣.
The taco place just moved a bit further east on Ste catherine st
Hey great videos man ! I'm a born and raised Montrealer from the Plateau and I am really proud of my city. It is really special as a city, because so many multicultural communities live together and there is also a certain social mixity (you can live in a million dollar condo and your neighbor house is worth a couple 100k). I always say that Montreal is kinda like a solar system with many small planets. There is so much going on and you can miss so much stuff if you are not paying attention. As a latino growing up here, I can share with you a lot of info if you are interested. I also very familiar with most of the neighborhoods. If you want to some help for your neighborhood videos, feel free to contact me.
Picnic is life
I don't know if somebody answered yet to your question about the taco place called Taqueria d'Hochelag, but it has been relocated at the corner of Aird avenue and Sainte-Catherine East. They are also on Doordash and maybe some other app like this.
I grew up in Montreal, but I haven't been back in 15 years. While the downtown area looks quite different (in Google Earth), this video shows Hochelaga Maisonneuve is largely the same, save for some murals and parks here and there.
I love the guy didn't want to be filmed but his back was towards the camera, wearing shades and a cap lmao
Great video Dan. Montreal Olympics were summer of 1976. The construction of the Olympic Stadium ended up a huge scandal. Between corrupt contractors and organized crime inflating material costs, the stadium ended up costing much, much more than it should have! City taxpayers were paying for it for decades $1.4 billion in all.
Uh...ok...but you failed to say how awesome the Olympics were... plus u r old enough to remember "Terre Des Hommes " The International meeting of so many countries... Montreal dared to be different and succeeded...I only have great memories of my beautiful city. It is still the best city in Canada! I am on Vancouver Island now and I miss it everyday ! :( West Coast is so cold...I miss the kind people of Montreal ~
@@sunflower-oo1ff Oh I agree! I hope my comment wasn't construed as anti-Montreal. I love the city. Lived there for a year some time ago and was won over by the friendly, open-minded people. I go to visit every couple of years and always enjoy my stays.
Samedi 5 juin a Montréal. Tous sur la rue St-Laurent. Party time. BIG LOVE Montréal
If you like parks, try "Frederick Back" in St Michel. It's 7km and you feel like you're not in the city anymore
Just discovered your channel! I love it! I live in Villeray neighborhood, it would be a pleasure to show you around sometime for one of your video! :) There are great spots here! I could also show you some very old pictures of the neighborhood! I’m a French Canadian (my English speaking is not that bad, except I have a very big accent! Ahah) well, let me know if it’s something you would be interested to do! I looooove Villeray! :)
If you're looking for one of the best microbrewery in Montréal, I highly recommend you Messorem Bracitorium in Griffintown! La terrasse là-bas est super belle et rappelle les beer gardens de l'Europe!
Bro, you were just down the street from my apartment near that church!
Try to film Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood and the St-Joseph basilica. It's on top of the mountain and it's only 7 minutes from downtown. The recording should start from Côte-des-Neiges metro station and walking toward the basilica. Your American fans will love it.
With that 24 hour outdoor fruit market..
@@optionvice8926 Yes, Yes, yes …
Hey Montreal born and raised here if you wanna go around ahuntsic-cartierville to see places like frederic-back park, the parc de la visitation and what north central of Montreal looks like let me know!
5 Juin Montréal . Méga manifestation sur Main street. On monte la rue St-Laurent jusqu'au Parc Jarry. ENJOY . BE THERE. its gonna be something
Nice. :)
the tacos placed moved to ste chaterine
They moved because the building is gonna get torn down. Eventually they will have 2 places. The one on ste-Catherine will remain open even after the one on Ontario street reopen
Do you know the name of the Taco Place? Too bad it's getting demolished I kinda liked the old Dairy Queen architecture!
@@francis2939 I would of put money it was a dairy queen too lol
@@francis2939 la taqueria
@@milhouse7145 it was a just noodles before
My home!!!! Hochelaga 10/10
Villeray and Rosemont are great French neighborhoods 😊
i can't believe its may and montreal have 25c, but I've notice something there is so many roadworks i went in 2019 i loved it but i never seen so many roadworks, i went to montreal 6 times, first time was a canadian trip with my family my parents my brother and sister in 2002 and later in 2011 because my brother went to mcgill and i went 4 more times to montreal, the burgers are great, the food is good, the beers are nice, shame about HMV, canada is a great country the nature, the countryside i want to come back
HMV never forget ✌️
Hochelaga : Pronounce as "Hush" laga.
Maisonneuve : May - Zone - euve.
Hochelaga its a Iroquois name of a village (Osheaga) that was somewhere around in the 1500s.
Nice video Dan! I've moved to this part of town from the ave Papineau (Gay village) last week. I recognize all these spots.
My girlfriend is Québecer and she mentioned this area has become alot less ghetto than it used to be.
I'm for sure gonna check out that sweet shop (fried eggs 🍳 and cola bottles) are you for real!!! 🤪 what's the name?
There is a Just Noodles at the corner of Masson and St-Michel! Maybe they just moved.
the taco spot is on Ste catherine now
Votre prononciation est très bien.
That was awesome.... try NDG...for a change...English area of Montreal... ;) I lived all over Montreal, form Downtown to the east (Anjou ) to the West, ( Westmount ) ... I loved it all. Now living on Vancouver Island...yup..on the other side of the country. Missing Montreal so much. ;(
@ Its not that big a move, if you have made up your mind...one mile after another mile... Now Australia or New Zealand...that would be quite the move. But anyway, I wasn't even living in Montreal anymore when I made that move. I was living in beautiful historical village of Merrickville in Ontario on a 50 acres farm.Vancouver Island is awesome if you love the rain, bears and mostly cougars. My co worker lost a goat to a cougar last week... ;( we have plenty of deers, and rabbits...go figure...Its a bit wild out here except for the towns, but even the towns...and cities...it doesn't stop the cougars from coming over. I would never run on a trail here without bear spray. You can use it on cougar too, but you better be fast...cuz the cougar is always hiding... ;(Montreal like Toronto, are big cities, and am done with that for sure ! you wonder how it is...just do it. Its doable, we only live once ..I think ;)
Oh Maisonneuve was my dad's old neighborhood when he was a kid before moving to Northern Ontario. I've yet to visit the area. I'm in Halifax now and my trip was canceled by Covid. Maybe next summer I'll drive up.
What's your fave neighborhood? I'd like to plan a month long stay at some point, I really don't use my French enough anymore.
As a Montreal born, your channel me realize that I was discriminating some areas of Montreal. I live in the burbs now but your vids gave me nostalgia. I joked many times about Hochelaga when I was a young asshole.
You should come to my neck of the woods, Côte-des-Neiges...
Nice to see videos that are not pissing on Montréal 👍
The name of tacos place name is La Taquerila and they move on the saint-catherine East street ! It's new so they didn't annonce it yet !
Glad they're still around. They make good tacos! 😎🌮
its really sad so many businesses and shops had to close due to this covid
A "Bobo" is a bourgeois/bohème ( ie :a middle class guy who moves to a working class neighborhood with the side effect of making the rent more expensive )
As a person who grew up in Hochelag (said without the "a" and the "Maisonneuve" vs "HOMA" also used as a diminutive by condo builder as a attempt to give a "bobo vibe" similar to "SoHo" in NYC), and who still live there behind the Taqueria, it feel strange to see it from the Youtoube eye of a visistor. Its a tourist spot and its not. Its not because its one of the most "common Montrealers" place, but it is because its home of the Olympic Stadium, the Biodôme and just across Sherbrooke is Parc Maisonneuve (on of the biggest park in Montreal) and Jardin Botannique.
For la Taqueria, they temporarly moved to Ste-Catherine because the building (a icon in the area because it was a Dairy Queen that hosted a Just Noodle and now a Tacos with the same Dairy Queen recognizable architecture) is going to be destroyed and replaced by a building for low incomes person with Taqueria on the street level.
For the "dangerous part", it has this reputation because it was for a long time the home of the Hells Angels (in the 90's, a 11 years old kid was killed by a explosion of a car from biker's war). But today its pretty safe. But it depend where. If you go south Of Ontario, you will have more shadowy places. Ste-Catherine and Nicolet, a gay couple was victim of violence 3 years ago, there was a drug house that went out on a fire in this area. Ste-Catherine in Hochelag is also one of the last place where street sex workers still work, but they are not dangerous (more in danger themselves from bad clients). But these are exceptions that i quoted here and usually its really safe. Bike theft is a plague everywhere in Montreal and thieves usually prefer stealing on the Plateau or Rosemont because they have more luxourious bikes. But if one bike is easy to steal (not using a U lock that include the tire and the frame), a lot of addicted people will take it.
Hochelag is also a place with a high rate of LGBTQ2AS+ peoples because most of them where kicked out of Le Village who is now unafordable (only white over 50 gay men that are often queer and trans phobics can afford "le Village" : Queers, trans, lesbians and younger have being pushed to the east. You also have Centre-Sud between le Village and Hochelag and its fun to walk Ontario street from Village to Hochelag passing by Centre-Sud (that is considered one of the poorest neighbourghood localed between Papineau et Frontenac subways, but not as poor as Parc-Extension that have the highest level of people living in poverty in Canada, mostly newly arrived immigrants).
Hochelaga-Maisonneuve is also one of the oldest area in Montreal : in Hochelaga is where mostly manufacture french quebeker workers lived and Maisonneuve was mostly for bourgeois (lawyers, doctors, etc.). You have a lot of historical places, like one of the oldest library (a controversy is that they are building add-ons to it), le Bain Morgan (and Morgan park), Marché Maisonneuve are some of the oldest landmarks in Montreal after Vieux-Port.
So Hochelag is a mixed bag of peoples that we are trying to preserve (and that we fear will go away with gentrification). Bourgeois where always part of this mix even in 1870 when Hochelaga was created, but lets say they are taking more space than before).
PS : Arohma was attacked with paint when it came on Place Valois about 13 years ago because it was considering "Bobo", but since then, i think it was left alone by the more radical anti gentrification groups.
PPS : one major landmark in Hochelag is la Pataterie. Its a kitch fast food that have being around since 1984 and its the subject of ongoing jokes to a point where it became almost the symbol of the area. Its also good for its french fries.
A french guy introduces a Canadian neighborhood to a Canadian guy haha. The way of ordering candy is like ordering dim sum. Authentic Dan, no sponsor 👍🏻
I love it! Just goes to show how big Canada is as a country :) Someone who came to the country just a little while back can know a place a lot better than most Canadians do. I guess that goes for most places, but it's especially prevalent/common place here lol
Check out Montreal’s West Island neighbourhood!
If you need a tour guide, hmu
No Hochelaga-Maisonneuve tour is complete without a bit of day-drinking in Lalancette Park imo
Hi! I love your vlogs :)
I'm sorry if you answered this already... what is the name of the candyshop you visited? (around 4 minutes). I live in Hochelaga and I didn't know about it. I feel like I'm missing out on something haha. Thanks!
It's Boutique Hellvis on Rue Onatrio et Davidson.
Francis is correct.
@@francis2939 Thanks! 🙏
Been here about a year and a half myself. When I hear locals reference Hochelaga, it sounds more like "osh-log"
Oshlâg is just a popular nickname.
The actual name is pronounced Osh_la_ga
The tacos place move on corner of st Catherine and aird
The hochelaga Maisonneuve accent 😂 😉
