![The Bulletin: Inside the city’s casse-croûte kingdom, ‘accidentally’ working for Montreal’s Mafia, what Toronto can learn from our nightlife scene, and more [Issue #9]](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthemain.ghost.io%2Fcontent%2Fimages%2F2023%2F01%2FMontreal-diner.png&w=3840&q=75)
This week we’ve got six-course dinners served in punk houses, DJ sets in a Japanese restaurant speakeasy, and places to trip out on edible with (no, not Igloofest), while our news round-up features the city’s diner culture, cannolis being code for assassination targets, and all kinds of other tasty curios.
Eat it and weep.
Weekend events you don’t want to miss
Friends or family visiting from out of town? Or just looking for a good time? We've got you covered.
Friday
- Start the weekend off strong with a trip to the WICKED tour, an event organizer exploring different mythical rave establishments of Montreal, and their second stop in TIMIS.
- Workers for a wealthy Westmount woman have fun imagining her murder in an adaptation of Jean Genet’s play running all weekend starting on Friday at the Centaur Theatre.

- Tune out the everyday noise and lose yourself in the last weekend of Phi’s Habitat Sonore, an immersive listening room playing a wide variety of poetic, meditative, and performative content.
