Pedestrian friendly.\nOn Ste. Catherine, you will find some of the most sought after restaurants, shopping areas. It's perhaps one of the busiest streets in Montreal with tons of street festivals, delicious restaurants, shops and boutiques. In a way, Ste. Catherine always reminded me of a mini-Fifth Avenue of New York and in a way - better, it has some of the unique labels from European brands that cannot be found easily in the States.
