Chez Doris (ZT, 2001)
Chez Doris - 1430 Chomedey, metro Atwater. Mondays to Fridays, 12 p.m. Women only. Free. 514-937-2341
This house was named after a murdered prostitute who had once complained there was nowhere safe for women to go in the downtown core. Meals are free, every day at noon. The menu included chicken kebabs, salad and coffee. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly, with plants, rugs, rocking chairs and smoking and non-smoking rooms on the second floor, filled to the brim with couches. Women lounge around, talk and sleep. The centre also has many other things going on, including trips to the beach, the planetarium and yoga classes. |
