Okay, we got Monday and Tuesday out of the way, now let’s shift our focus to Wednesday and get past this week’s midpoint.
To get there, we’ve put together an awesome list of things to check out in Montreal today, November 21. Just because it’s not the weekend doesn’t mean we can’t have fun, Montreal!
Chocolate Party
There’s a tasty chocolate party happening in the West Island today and it’s exactly what it sounds like.
DHNUS is hosting its annual Chocolate Party, a time to unwind from the post-midterm blues and sip some Bailey’s hot chocolate while devouring all the sweets your heart desires.
Admission grants you all access to the chocolate buffet, a shot of Baileys or Kahlua in a hot chocolate and non-chocolate items like grilled cheese, salads and gourmet hot dogs.
Guests are urged to come dressed in their comfiest clothes because nothing goes better with chocolate than comfort.
