DREAMSCAPES SPRING/SUMMER 2017
14
Marie—a collection of new attractions atop
a downtown office tower—can literally
point you in the right direction.
Start with a visit to the 360° Observation
Deck on the 46
th
floor, which helps you get
your bearings and identify landmarks from
above as you enjoy sweeping views from
floor-to-ceiling windows. Then go the 45
th
floor to check out the #MTLGO exhibition.
When you enter, you'll get a wristband. As
you tour the exhibition, you'll watch short
videos featuring locals and visitors exploring
Montréal's attractions—everything from
food to sports. If something in a video seems
intriguing, you can tap your wristband on
the screen to "like" it. At the end of your visit,
you tap the wristband again on a terminal,
which will recommend things to see and do
based on the videos you liked.
While you're up there, you can also enjoy
a meal with a view at les Enfants Terribles
restaurant. Its new twists on comfort food
and bistro fare include baked cauliflower
with squid-ink aioli, pogos made with
chorizo, and macaroni and cheese with
kale. (I was partial to the Caesar salad with
prosciutto chips, myself.)
Thus fortified, you'll be ready to explore
at least some of the many amusements
Montréal has to offer in this triple anniver-
sary year.
