""Drawn and Quarterly" in Montreal is now a world-famous bookstore specialized in classic and contemporary comics. Coming here, my addiction comes out..."

Yes I am addicted to books, it's a compulsory thing. I just gotta have them. So I try not to go to Drawn and Quarterly too often. They have what I need and more. I leave my credit card at home and take my better half with me to control my addiction, not an easy task. 

Located in the Mile-end district, this now world famous bookstore is specialized in classic and contemporary comics (thus the name) but the store also carries fine arts, cooking and fiction. That's everything I love in literature. They recently opened a sister store across the street, specialized in books for children, with a delectable selection.

Drawn and Quarterly is also a publishing company that has become one of the most influential art and literary comics publishers in North America. A must for the worm in you.

Segal's – Shop like a local

Segal's is one of the few true remnants of the Main's edgier, immigrant past. In front it simply says "Epicerie depuis 1927" (grocery store since 1927).
