We too tried asking once if we could get some ice cream and were quickly shooed away. Me and my wife were convinced that the ice cream place was a front.

Where other part, like Verdun and Hochelaga have the Montreal Outside Stairs, this part of town has fire excapte type balcony and spring laoded staircases like i've seen so many time in Manhattan. As for the ice cream, well I always wondered where all those depanneurs got there pink 24 flavors ice cream sign :) I often, too often go to the “La Louisianne” restaurant and everytime I go in that area I marvel at how much “New-York like” this street looks.

My memories of NDG in the mid-1990s are of a boring middle-class anglo ghetto, yet this no longer seems to be the case. The most bizarre shop on Sherbrooke is the Persian-run German restaurant with a sign in Farsi. It looks like it should be selling kebabs and rice, but instead they serve shnitzel and sausage.
