Tuesday 17th September: taco Tuesday, cheap(er) clothes & Netflix on the clock

Did you know Melbourne tap water is among the safest in the world? Ditch the single use plastic, drink your 2 litres, and read the Melbourne 417. Here is what's going on today.

The Headlines

  • Melbourne Fashion Week runway tickets come out today if you can manage to get your non-influencer hands on some. The pictures make us think it won't all be mullets, cork hats and AFL scarfs but we'll believe it when we see it.

  • Some new watering holes to add to your list, these Melbourne locals have recommended their favourite pubs for you to work your way through. Anyone know why all pubs are called hotels here? Let us know.

  • No need to bally up and don your tracksuit in the dead of night for graffiti art in Melbourne. With street art being a distinct sub-culture and tourist attraction, here are the lenient rules in the city.

Where to Eat and Drink

It wouldn't be Tuesday without a taco and this week's pick is Mesa Verde coming in at $5 each paired with $10 margs. It's boujee looking establishment that the backpacker budget definitely wouldn't allow you and your birks to step foot into normally.

Where to Live

Not to alarm anyone but the only warm room in Melbourne is on the market and it comes with a private bathroom, free gym and cinema. There's also a BBQ and outdoor gardens for the days you brave leaving your personal sauna.

Core selling point: right above the Woolies that is about to absolutely rinse your Comm bank.

Where to Work

If you're counting down the days until the Australian Open, you can get your yellow ball fix with this vacancy at Malvern Tennis Centre. They need someone to help with general court tasks and answering a few emails and calls. Stinks of watching Netflix on the clock to us.

Where to Go

If by some miracle you have some extra $$$ to spare this month and some extra space in your suitcase, Aussie brand Zimmermann has a warehouse sale on this week in Cremorne. It’s normally on the pricier end, but hopefully the sale can kit you out in some bargain fashion week ready fits (its next month - stay tuned). You can book a slot to visit here.
