Help me plan my Birthday Week!!

My daughter is visiting her grandparents and Nana for 2 weeks, and my husband is away training for deployment (he's in the Canadian Military). So it's just me. And the dog. For 2 weeks (hubby will visit on the weekend in between, but I still have the weekdays alone). And during the second week - it's my birthday. Did I mention I'll be alone?

SO! I live near Montreal. And my plan is to get some bus tickets, and a 1wk metro pass, and enjoy the beautiful city of Montreal on my own!

If you've ever been - tell me the must see places, must shop stores, must eat restos and more!

So far my plan is:

• Botanical Gardens of Montreal
  
  Marche Jean Talon (market)
  
  Old Montreal/Old Port
  
  Plateau Mont-Royal
  
  Mile End
