The Motel is already booked (Peele street in Ville Marie), and yes to Subway pass..That's the plan.

It's never boring walking along St-Denis Street or Crescent Street and finding live music. If you like jazz I recommend the Upstairs Jazz Bar and Grill (it's actually located downstairs in a building on Mackay Street just off Sainte-Catherine) for good drinks, food and jazz. The jam sessions are really fun.
If the weather is nice it's always fun to walk up Mount Royal and go to the Kondiaronk Belvedere (lookout) and take photos. It's a classic thing to do in Montreal.
Wherever you are there is almost always interesting architecture and details is so many things you don't see elsewhere.
I could recommend so many other things but I'm hoping a few others on here mention some ideas.

Thanks to you both!..We only have a couple of days, so a combination of just going with how the wind blows and stumbling around, sight seeing on foot, with some light targeted planning seems to be how we will be doing things..It's his first time there, and he's down with walking a lot, with the metro pass in our back pockets.
