The birthplace of the internationally renowned Montreal Homeless Men's Choir caters to the hardened street man. To get in, walk up the alley just east of the main entrance. Take a number and walk down a few stairs into the caf and exchange the number for a red tray. Staff serves today's meal directly onto the tray, which acts as a large dish. Meals served consisted of a Spam sandwich, two separate hunks of pork, some relatively fresh slices of pepper, a cup of lemonade, two Jos Louis cakes and a tasty piece of watermelon. According to the unwritten rule, individual leftovers stay on the table for others to pick up. |
