Our city is built on family businesses, but there’s no father-son legacy more meaningful to Montrealers than the musical inheritance bequeathed on Adam Cohen, son of Leonard.

After years of trying to break free from his father’s shadow, Cohen’s latest album, Like a Man, offers acceptance of Leonard’s legacy. Inspired by his relationship with his own son, Adam’s intimate recordings ring true to his father’s poetic musings, but offer his own unique voice and perspective.

Has he made his dad proud? It was his father who suggested the title be Like a Man.

Performing tonight at Upstairs Jazz Bar & Grill, tickets $20, 1254 rue Mackay, St., 514-931-6808,  www.adamcohen.com

We recently found ourselves turning to our local dep after we arrived at the SAQ too late to pick up wine for a dinner party. Quel Horreur!

Lucky for us we found  Quebec-made LUK sparkling cider at our corner Couche Tard. With a slightly sweet LUK rosé ($10.99) to serve with appetizers and a crisp and clean LUK doré ($9.99) to go with the main, we are proud to say we impressed our locavore hostess with our last-minute libation.

We’re sure she didn’t mind the giant bag of M&Ms we brought as a hostess gift, either.

Available at Bonisoir, Couche-Tard and IGA, www.lukeluk.com

Many Montrealers have moved down the 401, and now the city wants them back.

Officials at la Ville de Montréal are launching a unique incentive program geared to former residents.  Perks include a one-year BIXI membership, two-month’s supply of St-Viateur bagels and 10 per cent off poutine at all La Belle Province restaurants. Toronto applicants will be required to attend a jaywalking workshop and pass a test in Franglais.

April Fool's Day from Vitamin Daily Montreal!

We’ve just sprung-forward but after last week’s fashion week, we’re longing for falling leaves. Here are our picks from Sensation Mode 2009:

Helmer
Helmer always blows us away with his dramatic ensembles and this year’s Victorian-inspired collection was fit for a queen. We adored the sky-high up-dos and aubergine lace mini-dress. www.helmerjoseph.com

Harricana
Paired with knitwear designer ça va de soi, this oh-so-Canadian show invoked marshmallow roasting and roaring campfires. While we could have done without the endless beige cashmere and fur-trimmed billy boots, we loved her mink-bobbled tuques. Harricana par Mariouche, 3000 St-Antoine St. W., Montreal, 514-287-6517, www.harricana.qc.ca

Soïa & Kyo
In the dark days of winter, one can never own too many cheery coats! This collection felt like an homage to Scooby Doo’s Velma Dinkley as the models paraded the runway in matching horn-rimmed glasses. For fall, we’re coveting a black-trimmed fuchsia jacket paired with a jaunty black beret. At Adam & Eve, 5432 St-Laurent Blvd., Montreal, 514-274-9939, www.soiakyo.com

We adore our baubles, but spending hours trying to locate that second earring at the bottom of the jewelry box is eating into our dressing time.

We’ve kissed our scavenger-hunt days farewell with the purchase of a vintage CatchFrame, hand-sewn by Montreal designer Hilary Thomson. These hand-dyed, fabric-lined frames come with pretty pouches full of long pins that are used to display everything from bracelets to necklaces.

They’re prettier than a picture—we’d even recommend hanging them on the wall.

From $65 at Headquarters Galerie and Boutique, 1649 Amherst St., Montreal, 514-678-2923, http://hqgalerieboutique.blogspot.com

The Dow is down and so are hemlines—in the spirit of fiscal restraint, we’re cutting back on lavish lunches.

Opened by former Brontë sous chefs, Provisions is a new midday spot offering affordable twists on lunch time standards. Our picks include the homemade ham and cheese sandwich with meaux mustard and vine-ripe tomatoes ($6.95), apple fennel slaw ($3), and bread pudding for dessert ($4.95).

Even the design of the space inspires classy frugality—white washed walls, a bar built out of reclaimed wood and stainless steel bathroom sinks made from Ikea salad bowls.

Economizing has never been quite this grand.

Provisions, 1595 St-Laurent, Montreal, 514-844-9656.

Owning fine footwear comes with great responsibility, and we only trust one man with our beloved Balenciagas: cobbler extraordinaire Dominic Bergeron of Carinthia.

The ladies of Mona Moore swear by his talents, and he’s so revered among fashionistas that some call him while shopping.

From slimming the calves on our new riding boots to reworking the heel on last season’s pumps, Bergeron is our very own miracle worker. He’ll also shorten straps and add thin rubber soles and tips to protect against salt and scuffs.

Treat him kind and he’ll call you when a pair of designer kicks goes unclaimed by their owner. The man’s got sole.

Carinthia Shoe Co., 1228 St. Marc St., Montreal, 514-935-8475.

Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches. --Andy Warhol

Warhol Live at the MMFA reveals how music and dance inspired the eccentric pop artist’s paintings, photos, album covers and films.

Our faves include a giant silk-screen of Martha Graham, a silver trunk from The Factory, and an entire room devoted to Andy’s obsession with Mick Jagger. And after curling up on the pink sofa to watch Edie Sedgwick in Poor Little Rich Girl, we raced home to perfect our cat-eye liner technique.

Warhol Live, until January 18th, 2009, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, 1379 Sherbrooke St. W., Montreal, 514-285-2000, www.mmfa.qc.ca
