I just got back from Canada the other day. It was my fourth visit of the year—I venture north of the border every couple of months for both business and pleasure—and, as always, it’s a little disorienting.

At first, it looks familiar. You see a lot of the same cars tooling along the streets. There’s the occasional Starbucks, and a lot of banks, stores, and buildings don’t look much different. For a native New Yorker like me, the people on the street in Montreal and Toronto look pretty familiar, especially Montrealers, who tend to wear black a lot, just like New Yorkers. And Montrealers are fond of cutting-edge eyewear, just like Manhattanites. Food? While Montreal has its local delights (poutine, anyone?), it’s not too different from what you can get in urban America.
