Hey New York, you may be clearing out the fridge for beer and hot dogs in preparation for our nation's birthday, but let's not forget about America's hat, eh? Today is Canada Day, and we asked everyone's favorite anchor, Pat's Papers and NY1's Pat Kiernan, for some tips on how we could all celebrate his native country.
Pat Kiernan’s 5 Tips for New Yorkers to celebrate Canada DayAnd since Canadians are so nice, he wants to give you a gift! Take a look back at #3, Pat tells us "I’ll find a Canadian prize of some sort for the first American to tweet me with the full names implied in that quote." Go, go, go!1. Get in the car immediately and drive fast. Fireworks in the Old Port area of Montreal start at about 9:15 pm. You can be there in about 5 hours if traffic cooperates.
2. Visit the Empire State Building tonight. (Or just look up and sing “O Canada.”) The tower will be lit in red and white to honour (note Canadian spelling) Canada.
3. Take in the “Great Canadian Songbook” event at Joe’s Pub tonight. The website says the repertoire ranges from “Cohen to Cockburn, Joni to Gino, Lightfoot to Lighthouse, Nellie to Neil, Rufus to Raffi.”
4. Get ready for donuts. Visit the Times Square Cold Stone Creamery store to familiarize yourself a location that is soon to take on great Canadian significance. In August, Cold Stone will start sharing its space with Canadian donut mecca Tim Horton’s. This will be the NYC debut of Timmy’s. (Wear sunglasses at night while walking past Broadway lights for additional Canadian content points.)
5. Enjoy poutine, the beloved French-Canadian dish. It’s cheese curds, gravy and fries. Don’t ask me why it’s beloved. But many others love it. Sheep Station in Park Slope has become a destination for New York City poutine fans.

Poutine is the Inuit word for heart attack.
Oh but it's soooooooooooooooo good. Everyone should experience it at least once.
Yep. Hard to find in NYC but it's great.
You can something similar with "disco fries" but that uses actual cheese, not curd, and the fresh soft curd is the best thing about poutine.
It's cheese curds, gravy and fries, for god's sake.
These things are not meant to be eaten together, except as a ritualistic suicide meal.
You're no fun. Maybe healthier, but not fun.
My post really belongs on chowhound but where's the best poutine in Montreal? I'm headin' up there this wkend.
You know i've had it all over the place up there, i think you;re best bet is to go into more of a pub/diner setting. It's a great food to eat after a night out and they pride themselves on doing it right. Bon Apetite!
Well you have a few options. La banquise is the spot which has perfected poutine, offering a number of creative variations on the traditional poutine. But Lafleurs is the classic Montreal fast food spot where you can get the traditional only.
I love poutine...at 3AM when im drunk. Montreal has some of the best dinning in North America; there is plenty more worth it to check out then poutine...
This post is reason #49828 why everybody loves Pat Kiernan
6. Wave goodbye to former Ranger forward Scott Gomez, who got traded to Montreal yesterday.
7. Watch a Pam Anderson sex tape.
8. Shoot a moose.
shoot a moose? you really are a lowlife.
Right, see, because Felix will gladly shoot a Jew, but not a moose.
I don't kill any specie and I don't play the race card as you do to excuse my wrongs.
“Leonard Cohen to Bruce Cockburn, Joni Mitchell to Gino Vanelli, Gordon Lightfoot to Lighthouse, Nellie Furtado to Neil Young, Rufus Wainwright to Raffi" I don't think Raffi and Lighthouse have a second name.
No reference to Rush????
Tim Horton's in NYC!?

Twitter contest complete.
I'm meeting the three winners for lunch and buying poutine. Thanks for playing.
Don't forget to shoot a goose today. Moose or goose is acceptable. It's a Canadian thing on the first of July. I didn't make the rules, I just follow them.
Double Doubles at Timmy Ho's. Yeah, that's the flava.
