The Travelling Fairy DancerAcland Street Afternoon
August 31st 2009 03:46
Melbourne is full of cosy cafes, mysterious laneways and hidden bars to wile away an afternoon in - drinking, eating and people watching.
But Acland Street, St Kilda, combines loopy Luna Park and beach-side markets, with Melbourne's signature loves of good food, trendy restuarants and cutting edge fashion.
Walk up both sides of the street to discover the famous continental cake shop windows, stacked high with mouth-watering pastries, stores such as IDS and Rose Garden and people spilling out of restaurants and crammed around bar stools on the pavement - at any time of the day or night.
The Vineyard Restaurant sits on its own on a busy corner, with an outdoor courtyard facing Luna Park across a stretch of idealic park-land. The interior is a mix of punk-rock and shabby bohemian splendour, while the courtyard begs to be used for a sunny afternoon of cocktails and thick-cut chips with Japanese mayo.
From creative types, to dog-walking locals and tourists on hysterical shopping highs, Acland Street's unique vibe extends to everyone, and keeps you going back for more.
