Entertainment & Activities
The National has dance, drama, music shows. Also, there is a small but nice park beside the theatre (on Barkly) inc. a pretty cool community art wall. Easiest park to walk to with little kids.

Beautiful park for all ages. Rose garden, conservatory, usually a pond (drained for maintenance nowI think). Kids playground in the far corner if you're coming from Vale St. Very worth the short walk.

Huge park with kids play area after the dog park if you're walking up Alma from Vale St. Lovely walks next to the railway line with flowers or peppercorn trees. Nice cut through to Chapel St.

If you have kids who like trains, this is the best park in the area. Quite small, good equipment, lots of places to grab coffee on the way (Little Piggy on William St is nice) and trains go past often

Unless you want to catch a tram to South Melbourne Market, this is by far the best place to get fruit and veg in the area (you might see us there). And old style green grocer.

HANKOOK
28 Nelson StOur fave breakfast place. Order the Angelita!
The pumpkin bread, the soir bread, the sweets. OMG. Nice coffee apparently. And it's almost worth staying at our flat around Easter time just to be near the Wood Frog hot cross buns.

A bit off the tourist route. Great food, great coffee, great service, nice little courtyard. And you can wander up the hill to our favourite op shop (Sacred Heart Mission).

Drinks & Nightlife
Much hyped new restaurant is probably living up to its reputation. Pho is excellent, as is the betel leaf thing for starters. They also have specially brewed beers and amazing cocktails.
