Montreal is definitely added to the list of my favorite cities for a number of reasons. The food, the architecture, the people... where do I even begin? There are tons of things to do, see and eat in this historic city. Although it is only an hour and a half away from NYC by plane, Montreal seems worlds away from your traditional American city. The french speaking locals totally add to this feeling of being "almost European." This definitely influenced my decision to explore this destination in just 3 days, and I do not regret it one bit!
