One of my favorite foods.  Try it.  Make sure you get a real one, though, and not some crap from a chain restaurant.

Just be careful how you pronounce poutine. If you ask for a putain instead you might get a (pleasant? unwelcome?) surprise.

SNAAKE:
oh yeah stripe clubs are awesome. they let 15 year olds in AND make them buy beer. the waitress was like "everyone is having one so you too". I was like..uh..ok :dunno

in their defense all my friends were over 18 and I looked kinda old and fit right in lol..

RayB:
I can't speak for strip clubs but I do remember last time I was there they all advertised "touch dances" (shocking!)

Anyways, the arcades are all gone. So sad. The Ste-Catherines strip had like 10 of them, and a couple more down St-Laurent. We'd go "barcade" hopping (beer in a bar, then arcade, then beer in a bar, and so forth, working our way down the street).

Poutine: Don't knock it til you try it. I don't know who has the best there but I always make sure to have one at "La Belle Province" (a Quebec chain).  Or on your way up, the best fries and poutines are almost always in little "shack" restaurants (they call them "cantines"). Some of them literally are a step away from being a shack, but like I said, BEST FRIES EVER.

Touristy stuff:
Old Montreal. Beautiful area (but it's winter!),
St-Joseph oratory (even for the non-religious, it's pretty impressive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joseph's_Oratory  )
Ste-Catherine street
upper St-Laurant street

Did I mention it's winter? Montreeal can suck in the winter.

shateredsoul:
Thanks for the tips!

Any other suggestion for good Poutine?

Touch dances? Intriguing, but i'm afraid my wallet can't afford such a thing. I remember when I went for my first one here as a young teen, $40 bucks for 5 mins, no thanks.

Thanks for the Touristy stuff RayB

Also, can I get by with English? Spanish is my only second language.  And I can't remember anything from french in high school except

Je ne parle pas francais, Je suis un homme, uhhh I don't even know how to say my name is X anymore! Je mapelle olivier? something like that.  Yeah, my french name was Olivier =/
