Montreal Food Trudge, Part One: Au Pied de Cochon, St.-Viateur Bagels, and More

This Montreal food trudge is intended to illustrate the article in this week's Voice entitled "Exploring the Montreal--New York Food Connection." The pictures were taken on my last two visits, in 2008 and 2010. A second half will run tomorrow morning.
