The donuts in the NY branches are just Dunkin' Donuts with maple flavoring. <br /><br />It's been about a dozen years since I've cycled in, or been to, Montreal. I recall some really nice rides in and around the site of the Expo and Terre des Hommes. And drivers in the city seemed more conscious and respectful of cyclists than in American cities in which I've cycled. I wouldn't mind going again.Justine Valinottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852069587181432102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-85132382993703063352011-03-14T17:59:06.036-05:002011-03-14T17:59:06.036-05:00I did not get a tuque.

I didn't notice it on the menu at that "American burger chain," though they DID have "frittes." Apparently, french fries are not served in Quebec, despite the presence of frittes in poutine. Regardless, Dr Atkins does NOT approve of poutine, or Jakeman's either...Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-48104212532908941892011-03-14T00:06:40.010-05:002011-03-14T00:06:40.010-05:00I think if I ate poutine regularly, I would have t...I think if I ate poutine regularly, I would have to cycle twice as much to burn up the calories.

We usually hit a Timmy's or two on our summer trips out to the Adirondack's. I love their chocolate cake doughnuts!<br /><br />Montreal, I hear, is the competitive cycling capitol of Canada. Many great racers have connections with the city, plus some great frame builders are located there also.<br /><br />Doesn't surprise me, though, that cycling is not supported around the airport. Hopefully that will change their, and elsewhere soon.Big Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713190395281794960noreply@blogger.com
