Time Out makes no mention of all the bridal boutiques for some reason, focusing instead on how the street is “a Latin enclave and hipster hotspot.”
It also credits the plaza’s glass awnings with “making it ripe for exploring whatever the season.” Is that really how winter works? (Also multiple of the spots Time Out highlights on St-Hubert aren’t on the part of the street that are covered.)
