Norah General Store

There was an article in the Montreal Gazette a couple of weeks ago about a new cool store:

Norah Magasin General....you can read about it  HERE. They were actually selling Pyrex and new things.

I was so excited to go there.....

 
What I liked?
They are able to mix vintage and new and it looks seamless.
 
What I didn't like?
 
 
 The Pyrex was expensive....
and like Dan says I had everything displayed and more!
 
But what I disliked the most was that the girl behind the counter didn't acknowledge us, didn't look happy to be there and had the general vacant look that Bristol Palin so often displays....
 
Right besides is a restaurant, which surprisingly , has no kitchen to speek of it was on the side of the Pyrex, no menu outside and doesn't smell of food....  
Dan decided that it wasn't worth investigating....
So we went for BBQ at Bofinger (a Montreal based BBQ chain). It lasted less than 6 months in Ile Perrot, yet managed to thrive (survive?) in NDG for 5 years....
Now the service was sooooo slow and God knows what the cook was doing because we waited about 20 minutes (it's supposed to be fast food, well kind of) and when we finally got our food....
 
IT WAS COLD!
 
Ok LUKEWARM!
We didn't bother to complain, we were just too famished!
 
now why is it that everytime I go to Montreal West/Westmount/NDG
 
I am so disappointed by the service?
 
 Do you want to trip over GIANT dogs and be treated like a second class citizen ? be sure to visit
 
Ben & Tournesol on Sherbrooke st west in Montreal; you won't be disappointed
 
Well folks that's it for me,
 
sleep tight

I get that a lot in indie & vintage shops ... they think they're really to rad & hip to acknowledge anybody*. It's really awkward, especially if you're the only one in the shop.
