Most of you may have heard that Westside Acton Park has opened. That’s the tall yellow and blue building/tower you can see when driving past on Commonwealth Avenue Bridge heading North-side. Westside is basically a pop-up shipping container village holding some pretty awesome vendors including food! There’s also a Gold’s Gym if you’re in need […] Read more…

The last time I dined at A Bite to Eat at the Chifley shops was during my pre-blogging days. I remember ordering a home made jam doughnut that was served warm and straight out of the fryer. I must admit it has been a long time since I’ve been back and the cafe is much […] Read more…
New cafe Elemental offering healthy paleo-inspired food, opened its doors last week on Lonsdale Street in Braddon.

The coffee brewed at Elemental […] Read more…
