Evidently I need to have bagels and smoked meat.

Eat your way through the city? It takes more than "Just a bit!".
DO NOT eat in a franchise, unless it's to have steamed hot dogs at "La Belle Province".
If you eat the occasional hot dog, this is an interesting treat. Get it "all dressed". Don't specify what you want, and if asked (if they peg you as a tourist), just say "Montreal style".
For the smoked meat, Do NOT eat at Nickel's, it sucks. I like my smoked meat lean, and I usually order the platter.
If you like greek food, you have hit the motherlode, my dear. Pretty well 60% of our restaurants have involvement from Greeks, from the cooks, to the managers or the owners.
When you are coming, PM me and I'll specify places. Cheap, medium, and pricey, as you wish.
We also have TONS of Chinese/Thai/Vietnamese soup places, almost like Asian fast food joints (under $10, in and out in 30 mins). We also have the real thing.
Sushi is all over the place......
Anyway, I'm salivating right now. Did I mentioned our Lebanese friends? Shish-Taouk and Shawarma (basically slow roasted chicken or beef sandwiches, served in pita with a delightfully tangy sauce), mmmmmm!
I'm gonna go eat.
