Sunday's got theatre, beats, and one more Pink Floyd trip.
17°C and clear skies—perfect for catching something live before the sun drops at 7:36.
Good morning. It's a proper Sunday out there: 17°C, partly cloudy, and the UV's running high at 6, so if you're heading outside, sunscreen's not just a nice idea. You've got thirteen-plus hours of daylight to work with, and the evening winds down around half seven—good to know if you're planning something after dark.
A couple things on the neighbourhood radar this weekend. There was a stabbing near Sainte-Catherine and Lambert-Closse over in Ville-Marie—police are looking into it. Separate story: someone torched a beauty salon up in Villeray, and that's under investigation too. And if you've been calling cabs on Saint-Laurent, watch yourself—there's a fake taxi operation working that strip, caught a couple off-guard recently. The industry's got some gaps in how this stuff gets policed, so stick with your regulars or the app.
On the food front, if you're thinking brunch or lunch, MUCHO Burrito's running 2-for-1 burritos today as part of their 20-year celebration—not a bad move on a Sunday when you're feeding two people. Old Montréal's got some heavier hitters too if you want to go sit down: Jacopo's doing tableside fettuccine inside a hollowed wheel of cheese, which is the kind of thing that either sounds like exactly what you want or completely unnecessary—but it's there if you're in the mood.
One heads-up on groceries: Viande à bas prix is recalling raw breaded chicken and fish at five locations over missing cooking instructions. Check what you've got at home if you grabbed anything there recently.
For tonight, you've got real options. The Lion King's running at Place des Arts at 6:30 if you want the full theatrical thing. If you're leaning into music, Danny Tenaglia's spinning at Parc Jean-Drapeau starting at 4:00—electronic, outdoor, and the weather's holding. And if you're a Pink Floyd head, there's two showtimes of the Dark Side of the Moon tribute at Le Dome, 5:30 and 7:00. Serge Fiori's at Théâtre St-Denis at 2:00 if you want to catch him earlier in the day.
With the UV up there and clear skies, outdoor stuff's comfortable as long as you're covered. Evening's going to be pleasant too—plenty of light until close to eight, then the city really opens up.
Have a good one out there.
