Sole Provider

Great range of nike and new balance kicks in Greville st prahran. there's also one in manchester lane in the city.

greville st, prahran

quite a nice short st to wander around. i'm guessing it used to be really cool in a grassrooty way, but of course the hipsters have invaded, when i was there it was still pretty decent. worth a walk. head down chapel in the st kilda direction and you'll get a better sense of the neighbourhoods i reckon. i saw the really nice vintage furniture store that had heaps of wooden type and old racing result board leftovers

Hotel Lindrum

Decent art deco-ish hotel, good sized room. Ok not great.

journal on flinders lane for coffee and Prince Hotel to Stay

Journal: nice atmosphere, national geographics, and excellent coffee

Prince: aesop in the bathroom, great staff and a feeling like its a comfy second home

possibly the prettiest street in the CBD- Degraves St

Coffee, bagel and fruit crush at Jungle cafe, pancakes next door, Hell's Kitchen and some cute boutiques. Can actually walk through to collins street, cross the road and head through the lovely Royal Arcade for further alleyway adventures.

Fine dining at St Kilda Beach

I highly recommend DONOVANS at St Kilda Beach for excellent food, wine, and great location on beachfront.

Gold Class cinema is an Australian must for movie-lovers

Watching films has never been so much fun as at a 'Gold Class' cinema. Even London's upmarket cinemas (Electric, Everyman etc) don't compare to the business-class-style seats, 3 course meals with each course (or coffee, or whatever) delivered at the exact time you ask for ('just after the opening credits, please') and general space/comfiness. Combine with dinner for the best experience.

Greville St is great if you want something a little offbeat and not the usual stuff you'd find in the shopping centers or the designer-label end of Chapel St. Brunswick St, Fitzroy and Smith St, Collingwood are great too for something a bit more grungy and has a Bohemian feel to them.

In the CBD/downtown area there are lots of interesting laneways with cute cafes and funky bars, and sometimes you might even stumble across some random artwork at the end of an alley or floating above your head!

Explore Brunswick st - eat at the Vegie Bar and head to Polly's for great cocktails...

Live music, bar, thai restaurant. Their website sums it up pretty nicely—"Revolver is one of those venues that very much suits a turn-up-for-dinner-and-leave-at-breakfast sort of evening's entertainment."

Michael Koro Galleries is a magical place that explores the contemporary art scene in a most progressive and interesting way. Visit them and find out for yourself!

Great beer and pizzas, free brewery tours. Open Wednesday and Friday evenings

I saw 'A Golem Story' here when I was last in Melbourne. Contemporary theatre by a local director, it was both fascinating and beautiful.
