In huge news—something you need but never knew you wanted—Wagon Wheel-inspired hot cross buns hit the shelves in Coles today. Here's what else is going on in Melbourne today.

The Headlines

• We do seem to be giving Drake's Melbourne antics a lot of airtime at the moment—how very 2016 of us. His latest lavish activity was hosting a secret party in French restaurant Maison Bâtard in the CBD, which involved Drake and his entourage singing karaoke until the early hours. Rumour has it the 100-person guest list included a whopping 25 Miss Universe contestants—pulling a hot Aussie was clearly the only thing on his mind.

• You're not alone if your Revs days are behind you and chic wine bars are now more your scene—luckily, Melbourne has no shortage of them. From new openings like Toorak Road's Gracie’s, to the people-watching haven of Kirk's, wine bars are plentiful among our city's humble suburbs. Whether you’re the type to swirl and sip or are just here for a gossip over the palest rosé, here's a handy list to make sure you're never far away from a glass of vino.

• If the horror stories have put you off the idea of Pitch Festival completely, this article may make you change your mind. The writer is in awe of the community vibe, the lineups, and the kind of chaos that somehow just equals the best times. The dust-ruined clothes and zero hours sleep are apparently a worthy compromise for the finest Aussie festival experience—complete with deep sunrise chats with a random. If you've been persuaded, bag one of the final remaining tickets on the official website and working on your doof stick.

Where to Eat and Drink

Start your weekday mornings right at Little Jin with a coffee happy hour. Serving as a coffee window by day and cocktail bar by night, this unique spot is open weekdays between 7 am and 12 pm. Grab yourself a stunning coffee paired with fresh pastries from the renowned Penny for Pound bakery, and swing by on your office coffee run between 11 am and 12 pm for their 50% off happy hour—it's rude not to, really.

Where to Live

This friendly bunch are looking for a new housemate in their very swanky Brunswick new build. The stark contrast of brand-new modern kitchen mixed with the inevitable Frida Kahlo and Persian rug combo—found in any gentrified, mid-twenties, Northside share house—actually works surprisingly well. They're after someone to live with long-term who's up for a pint and a film night, as per most Fairy Floss ads. $1100 seems an absolute steal to live in this gorgeous home.

Core selling point: A housemate from Manchester, of course.

Where to Work

For those looking to pick up a bit of extra work here and there, Showtime Events is looking to hire casual event staff to set up and pack down their events across the city. This super flexible job allows you to pick your own hours and venues, with event spaces even including the Melbourne Aquarium. Some hospo experience is preferred, but how hard can it be to carry a few chairs. A little bit of manual labour never hurt anybody.

Where to Go

Family-favourite Netflix show Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father is coming on tour to Melbourne this week. The dynamic duo are bringing their arguments live on stage at the Convention and Exhibition Centre today and tomorrow, with the last few tickets available for around $100. The British comedian's show will consist of tales from their travels, family secrets, and a lot of laughs.
