Little Places

The best thing about Melbourne is all of the nooks and crannies. All of the best cafes and restaurants aren't out in the open..they are in some random alley or on the 4th floor of some rickety looking buildings.

So here is the start to my long list of delicious places here in Melbourne!
Camy Shanghai Dumpling House
David's favorite. Of Course.
Right in the middle of downtown, you hook down this lane, and here you are, at this tasty dumpling hut. Dumplings are CHEAP and come steamed, fried, filled with meat, or veggies. So we are both happy going there.
Best part? You can get dumplings 'take away' and take them next door to this bar that is set up in a parking lot...

Section 8
No really. It's in a parking lot. Shipping Pallets are stacked together for seats, and there are great, rando decorations all over the place. It's great because the crowd is always a total mix (laborers, school girls having coffee, us..) and always busy on weekends.

My other fave is the Rooftop Bar. Yep. That's the name.
First, I would recommend NOT taking the elevator (it seems like you will die in here..so scary) but. there is a cute bookstore on the way up..so it's a good place to browse (and catch your breath) if needed!
Once you get up to the top, they have the sitting section decked out in astro turf and beach chairs. They have great beers...and hipsters!! :)

More to come! But those have been my favorites in the city...so glad we are living in the CBD (Central Business District)
