Bonjour-hi and bienvenue-welcome back to the Montreal Bulletin, The Main’s weekly collection of what’s happening, what you might have missed, and what’s to come in Montreal.

This week’s edition before we hit snooze for the holidays is all about Quebec gastronomy, DJ and VJ performances in hotshot and underground venues, and maybe—just maybe—a way to alleviate the eyesore we call construction.
