To really enjoy the holidays, you have to earn it.
If you’re cramming for exams or working non-stop until Christmas, there’s a bunch of great 24-hour places in Montreal to keep you warm, alert, and focused.
Finding the perfect study spot is hard enough, but for those night owls it can prove even more difficult. If you’re someone who frequently pulls all-nighters, it helps to know where you can go when you just can’t sit inside your apartment any longer.
