If the names Casa Pedro, Les Halles, The Boiler Room, The Wrong Number, Flix Cinema, The Bicylette and Carol’s Snack Bar bring back waves of nostalgia, then you’re officially old.
Drinking pitchers of sangria at Casa Pedro’s, having fancy French table service at Les Halles or watching Ronnie flip burgers at Carol’s well into the wee hours.
These are memories from Crescent St. , the party block between de Maisonneuve Blvd. and Ste. Catherine St.
Who knew when the first wine bar, Chez Tonneau, opened in 1959 that this would become a destination spot for locals and tourists alike, written up in guide books and THE place to go on a party evening.
It’s been 50 years and the Crescent St. Merchant’s Association is throwing a street party to mark the occasion.
