21. Petit Patrie
22. Old Montreal
23. Ahuntsic
24. Hochelaga-Maisonneuve
25. Little Burgundy
The top five remain the same as last year,
although Verdun makes a leap from number eight
to number six, and the Village drops to number 10
from six.
Best Minority
1. Anglos
2. Italian
3. Greeks
4. South Africans
5. Jews
6. Portuguese
7. Black
8. Irish
9. Chinese
10. Gays
Honourable mentions: Filipinos • Haitians •
Indians • Latinos  Anglos, Italians and Greeks score high again,
but we didn’t know there’d been a sudden influx
of proud and vocal South Africans, who were
nowhere to be found last year. Apparently there
was, and they take this shit seriously.

6. Big O
7. Bell Centre
8. Notre Dame Basilica
9. Habitat 67
10. St. James United Church
Honourable mentions: Belgo • 1000 de la
Gauchetière • Eaton Centre
Habitat crawls out of Honourable mention to join
the list of landmarks—maybe something to do with
everyone getting all misty-eyed over Expo’s 40th
anniversary? And removing the horrid façade
revealed the true beauty of St. James United Church,
as it too breaks out of Honourable mentions.
Best Place to Spot Celebrities
1. St-Laurent
2. W Hotel
3. Time Café
4. Crescent
5. Buona Notte
6. Old Montrea/Port
7. Globe
8. GoGo Lounge
9. Downtown
10. Ste-Catherine
Honourable mentions: Club Opera • Plateau •
The airport • Just for Laughs • St-Denis
Best Place to Have Public Sex
1. Mount Royal
2. Old Montreal/Port
3. Parc Lafontaine
4. Old Port Bridge
5. Canadian Architecture Park
6. Metro

8. Westmount Park
9. Alleyways
10. Beaver Lake
Honourable mentions: McLennan Library • Ile
Ste-Helene • McGill lower field • Notre-Dame
Basilica • St. Jospeh’s Oratory
Mount Royal remains the undisputed champ
for open-air nookie, and the romance of the Old
Port still stirs our loins. When not getting it on
outdoors, Montrealers prefer doing it in libraries
and churches.
