Monday 9th September: Mr Brightside, posh schnitzel and meals in a box

Over the weekend, Joey Essex appeared on his 15th reality show. We’re here with our 6th Newsletter. Happy Monday.

The Headlines

Where to Eat and Drink

Studley Park Boathouse, between Kew and Abbotsford, is a gorgeous little spot on the Yarra with waterfront tables, perfect for an afternoon drink. It’s away from the hustle and bustle, so an ideal place to take visiting parents or if you’re needing some peace and quiet.

They describe themselves with the classic restaurant buzzword ‘Modern Australian’ cuisine, meaning they serve avo toast for brunch and posh schnitzel and calamari during the day.

Where to Live

Either your future housemates are Photoshop whizzes or the natural light in this Carlton apartment is really that good. The location, decor and Aesop soap are also enough to make it worth a look.

Core selling point: Right next to 'a' park. No spoilers which one until move in day.

Where to Work

If you reckon you’ve got the gift of the gab, and fancy making up to $1.5k a week, then this casual position at Hello Fresh might be for you. Based in the backpacker hub of St Kilda, with weekends off and no experience needed, it’s a no brainier if you’re fresh off the plane or just passionate about meals in a box.

Where to Go

Trivia experts ‘Fame’ host one of their Monday quizzes at the Arcadia Hotel in South Yarra from 8pm. Known for their audience participation, it’s one way to spice up a sleepy Monday night and entertain yourself at a sticky floor pub.
