      The Main is reader-supported. Subscriptions are what keep us independent. Five dollars a month — the restaurants, the guides, the weekly bulletin, and what to do each weekend. Support us today.

      Morning, Montreal.

      When it comes to historical firsts like this weekend—the Habs in the playoffs at the same time as international crowds take to the streets for F1—it’ll no doubt feel like you’re in one of three camps: running for the hills, diving into the action head first, or disengaging altogether for more peaceful times in a park or in good company (or both).

      But there are many ways to play this weekend, and we’ve mapped it all out in this edition of the Bulletin. Of course, we’ve got a detailed guide to F1 events across the city and lots of local home team pride to read about (see: causing 0.5 on the Richter scale), but there are many other paths, other curiosities, worth exploring.
