Rone’s pasteup on Kerr St was torn down recently (I saw it being done) but within a few days his Everfresh studio colleague Makatron had placed one of his quizzical characters on the same wall.
Those of us that live in the culturally rich and diverse inner northern suburbs of Melbourne are spoiled for choice with retro and vintage clothing, independent music shops, vegetarian and vegan cafes, quirky art galleries and live music venues.
A number of businesses publish guides to draw attention to the latest, the best and the most interesting places to eat, drink, dress, party and play. In this post I will be reviewing the reviewers. It’s not my aim to criticise these sites but to investigate their missions and business models, and to hypothesise about their viability. The four sites reviewed below at Breakfast Out, Norfguide, Lost magazine and Three Thousand.
Disclaimers: I have no financial interests in any of these sites. I have corresponded with some of their owners by email, but have not met any if them face to face. I also publish local news sites that could be considered competitors to these guides. These local news site aggregate and syndicate posts about local cafes, businesses, arts, events and experiences.
When I reviewed the crepes at The Wick on Brunswick St in November 2008, owner Larissa commented that, in taking over what had been WWWash, she was starting her first hospitality job. That did not sound like a viable position from which to start a business on such a competitive street to me, but I kept my opinion to myself.
Baked eggs were the breakfast dish of 2007, and they continue to be popular, but the new fashionable breakfast dish is sweet corn fritters, which are available at several cafes including Shire on Victoria St and Madame Sousou on the corner of Brunswick St and Bell St. The Madame Sousou version contains sweet corn and zucchini, and comes with avocado and smoked salmon.
