Tuesday 10th September: No-fuss falafel, a new Mrs & a cheap flight home

You might have missed a PPE-clad Jared Leto at the airport yesterday, but we won’t let you miss anything else going on today.

The Headlines

  • A great day to live in Melbourne, the airport has partnered with flight sales website Webjet to offer a whopping sale on return flights. There are <$1000 flights for Asia, Europe and America, it’s not Ryanair prices, but it’ll do.

  • If you’re angling for permanent residency, this insight into what Melbourne might look like in 2070 could be a glimpse into your future. You can see more at the (free) exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria.

  • Instagram stories looking a bit dry at the moment? This article on Melbourne’s secret laneway art will get everyone feeling jealous of you again. Or if you’re not that shallow, exploring these hidden gems is a lovely no-spend day activity.

Where to Eat

If you’ve not heard of the A1 Bakery then you must be a Melbs newbie. Where the locals and gentrifiers unite for the love of cheap Lebanese food, A1 is a casual Brunswick eatery with a no-fuss menu of falafel, halloumi and hummus to die for. Always hustling and bustling, it’s a very popular place to grab lunch in the trendy northern suburb.

Where to Work

The Melbourne Cup Carnival is looking for a new bunch of food and drink assistants for four upcoming race days. You do need an RSA but if you've put yourself through the cringe role-play session you might as well make the most of it.

Where to Go

Girls, you're up. Swap the apps for the dance floor because this week's Espy speed dating night is for the all lesbian and bi women out there. It's $35, and you get a few free drinks thrown in and a promise of no awkward silences. A fun night out even if you don't meet the one.

Where to Live

Girls, you're up again. This South Yarra apartment is calling out for a fun, respectful and tidy addition. It's close to Chapel St so you can stumble back from Revs whatever time of the day or night that may be.

Core selling point: two chatty fun-loving Brazilians.
