Also any good gigs/events by any chance? we'll be there between the 16 &17th of Nov

guessing your going to be in the cbd? id say you could hit up the city anywhere from crown through to melbourne central every street has something pretty much or chapel street during the day for shopping / coffee etc or if you want a shopping centre you'd go chadstone but doubt you'd come to melbourne to do that.

Cheers Alex, yeh we'll be mostly in the CBD, prob heading out to St Kilda also

just interested to know if there are any gems food / drinks / chillout wise that you guys enjoy down there, as that's where id see most of my coin going

[Steve37]

King street

[alr33x]

Not king street that's for sure

Maybe hit up eureka tower restaurant meant to be impressive haven't been myself though

Jump on a gig guide to see whats on in music wise coming up. Yer i agree with above with st kilda is good for cafes and kicked back lunchs. Around the cbd is endless small cafes down alley ways. Stay away from King street lol

for something different food-wise in CBD try Passionflower for dessert platters and stuff. definitely unique. For a good good cocktail bar, look up Berlin Bar.

If you like beer and are in St Kilda, cant go wrong with 600 Beers

Brunswick St. Fitzroy / Chapel St. Prahran / South Bank / Crown Casino / Docklands / The Strand. Williamstown.

pretty much any unique places / experiences that are special to Melbourne

Federation Square, let us know what you think of the building... ie. Looks like shit or a work of architectural master piece

Luna Park = LOL!

St. Kilda = decent beach

Also any good gigs/events by any chance? we'll be there between the 16 &17th of Nov

Thy Art Is Murder is playing on the 17th but if you are not into loud music, don't bother.

But I will be there

will be on foot / public transport for the 2 days

Where about are you staying at? CBD?

If so, everything is pretty much there.

On foot / taxi / tram will get you around.

They work the corners hard there man!

There is New York Pizza Deli (NYPD) on 47 Fitzroy Street St Kilda VIC 3182.

Good pizza's there and the garlic slice pizza is good too!

Luna Park = LOL!

St. Kilda beach = LOL!

fixed.

Big Mouth in St Kilda has good value food. If you venture towards Balaclava, Gattica has brilliant food and arguably incredible coffee. Theres also a weird yogurt place in Balaclava called Yo-Chi, which is pretty intense.
