SO NOW YOU ARE IN BRUNSWICK, WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO/SEE/EAT?

Right, so we get quite a few queries from people visiting town/from the other side of the river about where are good places to eat and other things to do in Brunswick after they have visited Mr Kitly. 

My personal suggestions for eats nearby to Mr Kitly include La Paloma and Choukette for great cafes with lovely atmospheres each, and of course the amazing Middle Eastern and Greek bakeries on Sydney Road such as Tabet's, Tiba's and the classic A1 Bakery , checking out the multitude of Middle Eastern and Greek sweet shops along that stretch as well. For salubrious surrounds and long (boozy) lunch or afternoon tea, Albert Street Food Store is a recent phenomenon for classy eats and top-notch sweets, and is just across the road from Mr Kitly. And of course Brunswick is the spiritual home of the excellent Beatbox Kitchen burger truck, check out their current location here.

In nice weather, see above for bike riding ideas, especially Merri Creek and Royal Park both are tops for nature and picnics and close to Brunswick. 

For other stores to check out, I would advise a look into Savers and Don Bosco op shops if you are that way inclined, and also the cult jean phenomenon that is Dejour and for hard-to-find record shopping Round & Round. On Glenlyon Road you will find the fabulous fashion space by Kuwaii and slightly further away (on Lygon Street) the awesome fashion shop Monk House Design is a must-visit and in the Northern stretch the ladies at Harvest Workroom are great. 

Galleries nearby include Tinning Street and the Moreland Council's Counihan gallery.

Enjoy:)
