   They do, and some OK restaurants but really, there's a lot mre to do   
   in Montreal.

   Any NY license, or learner permit, or even non-driver ID can be   
   upgraded to an Enhanced version for border crossing. I think they're   
   fairly popular among people who used to just wave at the border guards   
   before 9/11 when visiting friends in Canada.   
      
   They're also available in Michigan, Minnesota, Vermont, and   
   Washington, so I'd say they're more of a Democrat thing. In Canada,   
   British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec issue them, although   
   Ontario sensibly encourages people to get NEXUS cards instead.
