My East Melbourne:

Atticus Radley: The closest place (for me) to find the Guardian Weekly - mostly for their great crossword, all manner of gourmet food stuffs, good coffee, and great friendly service from Norm.

Atticus Radley: East Melb's Tribeca, Not Manhattan's :) Apart from great apartments there's great fish n' chips, wood fired pizza & gelato, a net cafe, a wine bar & a supermarket. Oh and a dentist.

Atticus Radley: Home of the Melbourne Atheist Society Monthly Lecture each Second Tuesday of the month @ 8pm. Admission free, no booking required, all welcome, Q&A follows lecture.http://home.vicnet.net.au/~atheist/

maxand 98: Bask in the irony of the park rangers protecting the environment driving around in huge SUV's

Ben Nolan: Fun skating on a longboard.

paddy MC: despite the plutocratic crackdown on bicycles skateboards seem perfectly kosher

Rosemary Walton: Not cheap but great mix b/w old style milk bar and deli

paddy MC: best fish and chips in melbourne - excellent fresh fish too - try the grilled blue eye with a greek salad and potato cakes!

James Ridenour: Mr. John Elmas is Chief Concierge here. One of Australia's best concierges and a living concierge legend.

Damon Garrett: I confess suffering mild nervous shock at the ABSENCE of the baked gnocchi, Jerusalem artichoke, taleggio and truffle dish from their summer menu.

Daniel Sanchez: Spa Manager Joanna Rock is a genius!! Love her work and Gemma (therapist) has great product knowledge and honest skin health tips! Pick up some of their products from the VITAMAN range it's excellent.
