It's World Nutella Day, so we had to pick our favourite Nutella-laden dish available in Melbourne. The winner is the Nutella soufflé pancakes from Sumo Desserts in the CBD, no better day to indulge in a sweet treat. Here is what else is going on today in Melbourne.

The Headlines

• There’s nothing more like home than a portion of fish and chips. And while Melbourne doesn’t have chippies on every corner quite like Blackpool, there are still a few good spots for you to try. From classic no-frills takeaway joints to fancier seafood spots, this list rounds up the best places to get your hands on a battered sausage and a proper portion of chips. Whether you’re after a beachside bite or just craving a taste of home, consider your next chippy tea sorted. Northern Soul obviously makes the list—straight outta Manchester.

• In the most American turn of events, Costco is now on DoorDash. The bulk-buying enthusiasts reading can now have their 3kg tubs of peanut butter and industrial-sized packs of toilet paper delivered straight to the front door. The partnership is rolling out at select locations across Australia—Melbourne included of course, offering same-day delivery on a range of Costco favourites, no membership required. There is a membership discount running at the moment though if you link up your account. So whether you’re craving a five-pack of rotisserie chickens or just need to stock up on snacks, your next bulk haul is now just a few taps away.

• Melbourne has gained a name for itself with its thriving sound system culture, originating from Jamaica, Colombia, and the Caribbean. Heavy Congress is pioneering this by announcing the launch of a massive day festival complete with a huge custom sound system, set for 29th March in the Yarra Valley, with the finest reggae, dancehall, and techno DJs and MCs performing for the occasion. Tickets are $50 for the event, or $100 with return transport included.

Where to Eat and Drink

Lady of St Kilda on Barkly Street has become a go-to spot for backpackers. Whether you're grabbing a hangover coffee on a Saturday morning or enjoying dinner and late-night drinks, it always delivers. The Mediterranean-inspired menu is fresh and inventive, featuring classics like their mouthwatering homemade focaccia. Head down on a Wednesday for 20% off pasta and mains, and become a member for more bonus discounts.

Where to Live

These two girls are looking for a short-term housemate for the month of March to live with them and their gorgeous ginger cat in Brunswick. For the absolute bargain price of $650, this steal of a room is a perfect stopgap and is super bright and cosy. Call upon your mates who are between houseshares or anyone trapped in a dingy hostel dorm room looking to escape.

Core selling point: 10,000x better and cheaper than hostels.

Where to Work

Super cool independent marketing agency Tiny Disco is hiring for a casual admin assistant to join their team in Prahran. If you know your way round a calendar and are always the one to organise, then you're more than qualified. The agency has run campaigns on behalf of Australia's biggest brands like Sephora, Dan Murphy's, and Target—so it's a great one to get your foot in the door and make some corporate contacts.

Where to Go

Another night, another free outdoor concert. Tonight’s venue of choice is the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, which will host a night with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. The annual free concerts are back, bringing some classical favourites to the open air. Even if it's not quite your usual taste, pack a picnic, grab a spot on the hill, and soak up the sounds of summer—no ticket required.
