Degraves Street, Hardware Lane, ACDC Lane, Centre Place, Crossley Street, Hosier Lane, Myers Place and Degraves Street.
This is a list of some of the more well-know laneways in Melbourne’s CBD. I have begun and finished with Degraves Street because it’s my favourite laneway. I like its grunginess and dinginess. Its vibe and its people. I [...]

The Local in Bay Street Port Melbourne has become a fairly regular haunt, especially for a quick meal after work. I wrote about my first visit here. It has such a nice ‘pubby’ atmosphere – a sort of reminder of what pubs used to be.
There is nothing of the Gastro Pub here – you order [...]

The Albion Hotel is alive and well.
I visited this Port Melbourne Pub first in January 2010. (See here) To find that some good things stay the same is very comforting. The decor is the same, the fires still burn and the people are still there.

The Palmerston Hotel has been around forever or so it seems. I have driven past it countless times. It is something to look at when you are jammed in a traffic snarl on Kings Way.
On warm summer days you can see patrons outside. While I am imprisoned in my car I haven’t warmed to people [...]

The smell of food cooking leads you to the Suzuki Night Market. The smell is delicious with the main ingredient being the aroma of barbecuing. This is strange because when you get into the market there is an incredible selection foods – a chance to eat your way around the world with food from many [...]

These hamburgers are so good that I would drive across town for one. But it is not just the hamburger that appeals.
It is the the experience of watching the team at Andrews cooking them. They make it into an art form.
Order your burger from the blackboard menu then hang around and watch. There are a [...]
