Drinks & Nightlife
Bars like Howler and The Retreat are some of my favourites in the area. Brunswick is home to Melbourne's hipster night life. Great for food, live music and winding down.
Also good places for breakfast / brunch at an iconic Melbourne cafe. If you're new to Melbourne make sure you order a 'FlatWhite' which is our version of an Americano.

Shopping
Union Rd is like little township in its own right. I recently discovered it and it reminded me of Castlemaine where I grew up. Good bakeries, organic grocery, hair salons and some cute shops and cafes.
