A little note I left on the door of Leonard Cohen’s apartment this afternoon

My Leonard Cohen pilgrimage

March 19th, 2017

Parc de Portugal

Montreal, Quebec

It's around 2:00 p.m., Sunday afternoon and I am in the little park across from Leonard's apartment. Lots of snow on the ground and it is blindingly bright, but warm enough to sit and write. Amazing what an unassuming little home it is, in this working class neighbourhood; I would love to live here. Funny, I was thinking just that as I walked by yesterday, not knowing the house is here.

I went into a little depanneur and the clerk told me that Leonard used to come in frequently to buy Oh Henry bars. He is everywhere.

Leonard Cohen’s apartment in Montreal

All around the park, there is street art and graffiti. This neighbourhood is alive and still worthy of an artist. I would like to come back and sit in this park and write poetry. I think I will.

I met a French lady here, who is as big a fan as I am, and she told me stories about Leonard living here. She said he bought the building in 1978. I can only imagine the songs and poetry that were written in that apartment. And I can imagine him sitting in this park late at night, smoking and drinking wine.

The house is just a stone's throw from St. Laurent Street. Leonard was not the kind of guy who was going to buy a big house in an exclusive neighbourhood. I think he was special not just for Canada, but for the whole world, or the English speaking world, at least. Not only was his music truly great, but it was also truly accessible. Much of it was very singable and easy enough for anyone to understand. People pay so much attention to the lyrics that I sometimes feel they forget what absolutely beautiful melodies he wrote.

And while his voice may have been unremarkable, he sang with great passion, great conviction, and always, with simplicity, and at times, with great humour. This is what drives me crazy about people who cover him. It is as if they are thinking, "This is Leonard, I better give it my all..." and in doing so they miss the point completely. Leonard was always understated as a singer, and it seems to me that those artists who go over the top when they perform his material really do not understand it, or him. If I never hear another gushing cover of Hallelujah, it will still be too soon. His music has been butchered by the likes the K.D. Land and Bono, but has also passed into the lexicon of music lovers the world over.

I wish I had met him. Not just a handshake and an autograph, but a night of heavy drinking into the wee hours of the morning. I always felt connected to him, and my affection is genuine. He made me weep with the beauty of his work more times than I can count.

The little depanneur where Leonard used to go to buy his Oh Henry bars

And he set the bar pretty damned high. If I write 10,000 poems I will probably never match even the least of his, but it doesn't stop me from trying. Although I don't think about it when I am writing, I believe he has been a great influence on me, and that I would be probably write very differently had I never known his work.

I'm getting cold here, but I hate to leave. It feels like I am spending time with Leonard. I left a little letter on his door, told him what he meant to me. It's hard to quantify that. He did what a true artist should do. He touched me, inspired me, encouraged me; he made me think about my own life and question both it, and my values. He set the bar very high in terms of integrity and honesty in writing. He was a very brave writer, and I have tried to be brave too, to express everything that is in my heart with the same kind of abandon.

When I first heard Famous Blue Raincoat at about age 16 I was astonished that any writer could be that courageous, that honest and that loving.

So thank you Len. We loved you, truly we did, and ever we will.

Your friend in love and poetry,

Bob

I have this impression, I don’t know where I got it, that wine bought at depanneurs is known to be poor quality. @ quebec people, is this true or have I picked up this arbitrary bias unnecessarily? idk what decides what deps are allowed to sell

#idk whether any quebec people are likely to see this but it's worth a shot #I think I picked this idea up because coolers and vodka-based drinks and similar bought at deps are fuckin gross #or is it just all locally bottled stuff?#I'm gonna be honest I can't really tell the difference between wines yet #just like... red vs white #this one is fizzy and this one isn't #I just don't want to get judged by dep employees #but on the other hand I gotta hop a bus and a metro to get to my closest saq

What I Spent: A 5-Night Road Trip to Montreal

01 of 07

Upfront Costs

Elspeth Velten

The upfront costs of vacations are predictable. It’s the little things—airport snacks, cocktails before dinner, tipping a tour guide—that can throw even the most well-planned vacation budget off track. In this series, we look at the spending patterns of real travelers in popular destinations, so you can estimate what you’ll actually spend.

In this installment, one couple takes a five-night road trip from New York to Montreal.

Airbnb: $424 for 3 nights

Hotel: 53,065 Chase Ultimate Rewards Points ($795.98) for 2 nights

Size of Group: 2

Continue to 2 of 7 below.

Friday

Elspeth Velten

11:30 a.m.: Our loaner car (a 2017 Ford Edge Sport) is being dropped off outside my Manhattan apartment, but finding a parking spot during the daily alternate side parking wars will be no small task. The driver double parks — like every other car on the street at this time — and I realize I'll need to wait around until 12:30 p.m. to snag a spot as soon as the street cleaning timeframe is over. I go grab a shrimp empanada from the corner cart to make the wait taste better. Cost: $1.50

2:55 p.m.: My husband Charlie is home from work, our bags are packed and we're ready to go. Unfortunately, so is the rest of NYC — it's the Friday before Fourth of July weekend, and the FDR is bumper-to-bumper. I take the first round of driving — Charlie's new here and only has his Learner's Permit, and we're not clear on what the rules are around him driving on NYC highways.

4:55 p.m.: We pull off the road to quickly switch seats, so I can broadcast how cool this car is over my Insta Story (literally cool — air-conditioned seats are something I can no longer live without), SYNC up my iPhone to get the tunes going, and eat leftover gummy bears I found in my bag.

5:30 p.m.: There's a store called Taste NY in the median of the Taconic State Parkway, and you can bet I'll be stopping there. We leave with a chocolate chip cookie, a cheddar and chickpea scone and one cold brew for the road. Cost: $10.65

8 p.m.: There have been some serious storms outside (torrential downpours and flash floods) and driving is treacherous. We need to eat it off. We Google the nearby options and decide on New Way Lunch of Queensbury. It's a dive-y diner, and it's perfect. We go for two hot dogs with meat sauce, onions and mustard, a fish sandwich with fries, and two birch beers. Cost: $24.00, including tip

8:30 p.m.: We gas up before getting back on the road. Cost: $20.32

9:30 p.m.: Are we in Canada yet? No. One more snack stop — Charlie gets a Twix and a water. Cost: $4.35

1 a.m. (Saturday): We made it to our Airbnb! We scored a prime parking spot on the street and had no problem getting into the apartment. Time to hit the sack.

Continue to 3 of 7 below.

Saturday

Patrick Donovan/Getty Images

10:30 a.m.: We're awake and ready to get going — today, much like the rest of our trip, is all about eating. First thing's first: coffee. We find an ATM and then make a bee-line for the first cafe we can find. It happens to be the hipster hot spot Hof Kelsten bakery in Mile End. We order one latte and one cortado to go. Cost: $7.00

10:50 a.m.: We walk up to St. Viateur in Mile End, one of Montreal's two most famous bagel joints. I have my heart set on a lox sandwich, but the location we just arrived at doesn't seem to have seating or a sandwich menu. We confirm that we're at the wrong location (St. Viateur's sit-down cafe is located back where we started, in Mont-Royal) and decide to fit bagels in on another morning. All the better, because we're headed to the famous Jean Talon market.

12 noon: We've made our initial lap around the market, and decide to start first at Boucherie An-Nasr, a brick-and-mortar butcher on the outskirts that's advertising merguez sandwiches. We share one merguez sandwich with tomato and harissa mayo, and one water. It's delicious. Cost: $6.33

12:18 p.m.: Next stop is the market's renowned charcuterie: Les Cochons Tout Ronds. We seek advice on what's best to try, and settle on a 100-gram mix of the spicy and regular salami, and a 100-gram slice of terrine, to go. Cost: $6.61

12:30 p.m.: What's charcuterie without cheese? We head to La Fromagerie Hamel, where we let a cheesemonger talk us into one Quebecoise and one French cheese. Cost: $10.18

12:35 p.m.: The La Boite aux Huitres oyster counter is a must in the market. We ask for 12 Canadian oysters — two each of six types from both the East and West coasts of the country. We stake out two seats at the bar while we wait for the oysters to get shucked, and then down them.

The couple next to us is waiting for a special order of “sea angel” oysters, and when they're delivered, we understand the novelty. They're huge! We ask about them and as our neighbors give us the scoop, our shucker lets us know he cracked open an extra for a different order on accident. One massive free (and somewhat terrifying) oyster, coming our way. Cha-ching. Cost: $23.17

12:57 p.m.: So far we've only split one sandwich and 12 oysters, so we definitely still have room to split a crepe. We go to battle over which type to order, but I give in to Charlie's plan: spinach, egg, ham and swiss. Savory crepes for life. Cost: $11.61

1:34 p.m.: We've finally eaten enough (I mean, not really, but OK). We pop in to Pharmaprix on the way home and leave with a razor, hair bands, water and toothpaste. Cost: $15.75

1:47 p.m.: It's raining. We jump into the metro at Beaubien towards Mont-Royal. Cost: $5.12

2:18 p.m.: We stop in the local depanneur (corner shop) to grab 10 beers and one big Evian before retreating to digest in our Airbnb. Cost: $22.21

6:45 p.m.: Our dinner reservation is at 8:30, so we leave plenty of time to hit a bar for a drink before. We head to Bily Kun, a Czech bar known for its extensive beer list and its stuffed ostrich decorations. We order two small beers by Quebec brewery Brasserie McAuslan: one with apricot and one cream ale. Of course, we can't resist a snack. With our second round, we add a “Combo Jenni” — a plate of nachos with a side of cheese sausage. Cost: $22.28

8:30 p.m.: It's our turn at Au Pied de Cochon.

In researching this trip, I, of course, set my heart on a couple of restaurants that are super difficult to book. With a little bit of help from the concierge at the Hotel Gault (a Preferred Hotels & Resorts property), where we booked a room for the last two nights of the trip, I was able to snag reservations at three of my top choices. This is one of them.

Au Pied de Cochon is known for its unapologetic Canadian menu of rich meats, poutine and maple syrup desserts. The menu has an entire foie gras section! We decide to start with the tuna tartare (how could we not, when the tuna is fresh today, straight from Nova Scotia?), and then share the stuffed pig's foot and a foie gras poutine. We glug through two glasses of orange wine, one glass of red and one bottle of sparkling water, before admitting defeat in the face of half a remaining trotter. Our waitress pours us free shots of Calvados, and takes one with us. We drag ourselves home on foot, and I vow to never eat again. Cost: $158.51

10:27 p.m.: Charlie can't end the night without sugar. He grabs an ice pop at the depanneur. Cost: $1.88

Elspeth Velten

8:30 a.m.: I wake up, and immediately start to think about what time I should get Charlie moving so we can go get bagels and not have to wait on a long line.

8:45 a.m.: Oh wait, something suspicious is happening. Those are probably just hunger pains, right? Some fresh air on the walk to the bagel cafe will do me good, and then I'll be fine.

9 a.m.: This isn't normal.

9:30 a.m.: Oh, haha, I have actual food poisoning. “It's probably Norovirus”, I tell everyone in my phonebook. Good thing this entire trip wasn't planned around eating or anything. Cost: My dignity and lifelong desire to eat oysters ever again

12:45 p.m.: Charlie looks hungry — he can't do life alone. I try to pull it together for the sake of the team. I buy a water immediately, then make it about two blocks before retiring to a bench to hopefully not vomit in front of Canadians while Charlie goes back to Hof Kelsten for a croissant. I mean, I get it, but, kind of rude. Cost: $4.30

3:20 p.m.: Trying this whole “going outside” thing again. But not without supplies. I grab three individual packets of Advil, a water, and a soda (for Charles). Cost: $5.13

3:40 p.m.: I made it further this time — to Boulangerie Guillaume. I can do this. We settle for just one baguette and an almond croissant, and we walk over to sit in the grass at Mount Royal Park with the cheese and terrine we bought at the market yesterday. I'm suddenly feeling much better (it's relative — things won't be normal again for at least a week). It's Saturday, so the park is alive with the sounds of the Tam-Tams, a weekly drum circle that sprouts up around the George-Étienne Cartier Monument, and the crowds that the drummers attract. Cost: $6.10

7:15 p.m.: We cannot lose a night's worth of food plans. We don't have a reservation for tonight, but I planned that we'd drive to Le Coq de L'est, a hipster tandoori chicken joint way out in the 'burbs. Having a car on this trip certainly has its perks! Surely I can handle some chicken. We order a whole chicken (which comes with frites, cole slaw and house bread) and a Caesar salad. Charlie has a beer. The meal is worth the drive; this is the best Caesar salad I've ever had, and that's not the food poisoning talking! We wrap the leftovers. Cost: $55.20

Monday

Elspeth Velten

10:30 a.m.: We are awake, we are in eating condition, and we are at St. Viateur. We wait about 20 minutes for a table, and then order two traditional bagel sandwiches (that's smoked salmon with cream cheese, tomato, onions, capers and lemon) — one on sesame, one on all dressed (AKA everything) — with crab salad on the side. And two filter coffees! I'm a New Yorker, so it's important to me personally to suss out the realities of this bagel rivalry. Cost: $30.42

11:23 a.m.: The bagels are bready, and there are no free refills on the filter coffee. I'm still a devout Long Island bagel enthusiast! On our walk back, we (I) can't stifle our intrigue surrounding a mysterious bakery we walked past earlier with a long line. We find it on the way back, and while I wait in line, I determine they're famous for making French kouign amann pastries. Guess what? They're sold out for the next 40 minutes. I grab a cheese croissant and a raspberry and almond danish instead. We save them for later. (Can you tell our food collection is growing?) Cost: $4.63

12:29 a.m.: We've checked out of the Airbnb and stashed our stuff in the car. Now it's time to do some damage to that leftover stash we've been hoarding. We grab drinks at the depanneur and set our sights on the top of Mont Royal. We're rewarded after the climb with a view and a picnic. Cost: $3.32

3:23 p.m.: Before checking into the Hotel Gault, we decide to drive over to the Atwater Market, another of the city's popular food halls. We meander between the rows of outdoor plants and perfectly preened baskets of berries, and drool over the display cases of pate inside. Remembering our existing food collection, we buy only a Coke and a Pellegrino. Cost: $2.23

4:17 p.m.: We find a parking garage near the hotel. Cost: $13.29 per day for 3 days = $39.87

6:30 p.m.: This hotel is beautiful — our modern room incorporates original design elements seamlessly behind the building's 19th century facade — and we booked it on points! Dinner tonight is at 8 p.m., so we head out early for drinks. Cost: $7.82 for two unlimited evening passes on the Metro

7 p.m.: We go for beers before dinner on Rue Saint-Denis — Charlie picks L’Amere a Boire, and we take two seats at the terrace on the street. Cost: $23.51 for five beers.

8 p.m: Tonight’s the night for L’Express, one of Montreal’s most famous French brasseries. We’re seated towards the back, where tables of two are lined up with little space between, and the waiter is lagging big time. That just gives us more time to enjoy our prosecco before ordering.

Charlie chooses the celery remoulade and the hanger steak, and I go for the bone marrow and the house ravioli (they’re mushroom!). We down a bottle of Cote du Rhone, and end things with an ile flottante and a crème caramel. We laugh through the meal as nearby couples eye our food and order accordingly — we barely even remember that the service was subpar. Cost: $162.09

Continue to 6 of 7 below.

Tuesday

Bota Bota

10:45 a.m.: We start the day at the Titanic café, around the corner from Hotel Gault. They don’t officially serve breakfast — the only offer one type of egg sandwich and coffee. We order two sandwiches, a latte and a macchiato. The sandwiches arrive with scrambled eggs, tomato, lettuce, ham and cheese. They’re delicious, and make up for the fact that my macchiato is actually a latte. Cost: $28.35 including tip (I’m shocked! That’s what happens when you don’t order from a menu.)

11:05 a.m.: Today we’re tackling Old Montreal. We walk through Place d'Armes, and pay to enter the Notre Dame Basilica. It’s worth it to stand beneath the basilica’s colorful interior for a few minutes. Cost: $4.86 each

1:30 p.m.: We conclude our self-guided walking tour at Olive et Gourmando, where we wait for around 30 minutes before being seated inside the bakery. The restaurant is known for its homemade bread and healthy salads. We go for two sandwiches — one Cajun chicken and one Cubain — a raspberry lemonade and an elixir iced tea. This place lives up to its reputation as the best bet for lunch in Montreal’s most touristy area. Cost: $39.39 including tip

2:45 p.m.: We’ve spent the last few days running around and eating — now it’s time to relax and sweat it out. We head to Bota Bota, a 1950s ferryboat that’s been converted into a spa docked on the St. Lawrence River. The boat stares directly at the Montreal skyline, so it’s easy to cycle between the spa’s saunas, steam rooms, hot and cold pools and hammock chairs for three hours. Cost: $102.45 for the “Water Circuit” for two

5:30 p.m.: We’re walking along the river’s industrial edge, and we’re dehydrated. We grab two seltzers from a vending machine. Cost: $3.24

7:45 p.m.: It’s time to head out for our last big meal, and it’s the one I’m most excited for. We grab two evening passes and take the metro to the Little Burgundy neighborhood. Cost: $8.10

8 p.m.: We head into Burgundy Lion for our pre-dinner drink. Charlie has two beers and I nurse a vodka soda. I need to be in prime condition to make the most of dinner! (And my stomach is still a mess.) Cost: $21.87 including tip

9 p.m.: We’re finally at Liverpool House, known for being the sister restaurant of famous next-door neighbor, Joe Beef, and for recently hosting Justin Trudeau and Barack Obama for dinner. Casual. Our table isn’t ready, so we order two beers while we wait.

At a table out back on the terrace, we decide on a couple of dishes to share. We start with the homemade rabbit sausage and a dish of morel mushrooms served with garlic bread, then move on to pork ribs with clams and the restaurant’s most famous dish — a creamy and rich lobster pasta. The waitress suggests a bottle of wine to match: we agree on a 2015 bottle of Magic of Ju-Ju. We’re too full for dessert, and to ever eat again. Cost: $204.40

Continue to 7 of 7 below.

Wednesday

Elspeth Velten

9:30 a.m.: Just kidding! A stay at one of Montreal’s best boutique hotels would be incomplete without a big old room service breakfast. We order two orders of eggs Benedict with ham, one latte and one regular coffee. Cost: $54.27

12:10 p.m.: We’re on the road, and we need to fill up before hitting the border. Cost: $44.01

3 p.m.: I’m back in the States, and I’ve lost all desire to pretend I don’t still have food poisoning. And what’s more soothing for an upset stomach than fake food? Yep, we finish off a trip of fine-dining at McDonald's. Cost: $15.00

6 p.m.: We fill up the tank one more time before arriving back in NYC. Cost: $33.50

Totals:

Accommodation: $424.00

Food & Drink: $968.60

Transport: $159.02

Miscellaneous: $133.05

Sélection Châtenois (Red) (Canada) 1L $9.95 11%

Appearance:

Poorly dissolved cherry Kool-Aid

Very bubbly, looks acidic

The legs of the ghost of a skinny 12 year old girl

Aroma:

Like a dank, mildew-y, cellar

Or a wading pool left unused and filled, over time, by the rain

Super sharp and acid-y if you take a long pull

*I believe I may be doing damage to my sinuses*

Taste:

A really watered down grape popsicle

Salty

Very front of mouth experience

Helps when you gulp it

Final Thoughts:

“I could drink a whole bottle if I hadn’t looked at it and smelled it first”

“Rubbing alcohol meets grape juice”

“Not as good after a cigarette”

“I would buy it…if it were the last wine on earth”

“When the bottle is empty, you’ll be happier”

What’s On in Copenhagen: March 2018

We’re big fans of spring in Denmark: b-i-g fans. Blossom-filled days when the sun starts to come out and the evenings are getting longer (finally!). Plus, there are lot of great activities in Copenhagen to force yourself out from your cozy confines. There’s a whole heap of different exhibitions, festivals, food and drink events, markets, gigs and parties.

Here are all the best events happening in Copenhagen during March:

Thursday 1st March – Sunday 25th March

The Wave

If you missed the brilliant light installation “The Wave” last year, fear not: it is back for part two. Walking through this trippy display feels a bit like entering another dimension. And it’s perfect Instagram fodder too.

Friday 2nd March

BBC Planet Earth II: Live in Concert

Marvel at the world around us with this encapsulating programme from the BBC, with music by the legendary Hans Zimmer being performed on the night by a major symphony orchestra. Unfortunately David Attenborough won’t be in attendance, but we bet it will still be a very special evening.

Tænkepauser at Nørrebro Teater

Every month through June, Nørrebro Teater will be presenting a scientific book in partnership with Aarhus University. Comedian and journalist Sebastian Dorset will present the book as well as interview someone behind the research. March’s book is about fiction, pessimism and sound. The ticket price (150 DKK) includes the book, and there are drinks at the bar afterwards where you can meet everyone involved.

Tuesday 6th March

South Pacific at Husets Biograf

Watch the 1958 classic romantic musical, but this time in color! Set on a South Pacific island during World War II, love soon blossoms between a young nurse and a French plantation owner, who’s being courted for a dangerous military mission.
