With summer in full swing, the programme takes viewers to the vibrant and bustling Jean Talon market, and samples the local produce. Talented singer and former child prodigy Nikki Yanofsky welcomes CNN to the internationally renowned Montreal Jazz Festival. And in this high flying city – that many street performers, acrobats and entertainers call home – cameras are there for the opening night of a thrilling new show from 'Les 7 Doigts de la Main.' All that, plus a stroll through the trendy Plateau district, as well as a bike ride over one of North America's most significant waterways.

steve_36 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 OK sounds good but what is CNNgo. I assume it is a 30 minutes TV show most probably about travelling and if it is the case then i am wondering if this show will play on the regular CNN channel or some subsidiary station of that network ?

In this episode of CNNGo TV, we show you where to see, shop, eat and indulge in the European side of Canada. See when to catch the show on the air times below. Plateau Mont-Royal The coolest place in Canada, they claim. Once a run-down working class district, Plateau Mont-Royal, or the Plateau, is often cited as the most charming neighborhood in Montreal. The francophone borough is flush with groovy designers’ boutiques, galleries, theaters, cafés, restaurants and green spaces. With a flare of bohemianism, it is where the hip and young go, and where many intellectuals and artists call home.

D'abord, la caméra se rend dans le quartier du Mile-End, repaire de nombreux artistes à Montréal. Et c'est justement un artiste visuel du coin, Gene Pendon, qui fait faire le tour du quartier. Sur la musique de Karim Ouellet, la visite se transporte au mythique restaurant de smoked-meat Schwartz, ainsi que sur le mont Royal. On rencontre aussi la chanteuse de jazz Nikki Yanovsky, qui sort du quartier pour aller dans le quartier des spectacles CNN va également faire un tour sur le Plateau, désigné quartier des bobos, avec la designer Yasmine Wasfy et le guide culinaire Ronald Poire, de même qu'au centre-ville avec le DJ Ja Big et le chorégraphe Sébastien Soldevilla.
