"I'm a huge fan of Gertrude Contemporary. They've always got some really sick stuff going on."

"NGV Australia in Fed Square [The Ian Potter Centre]  — it’s so underrated. I really enjoy it every time I've been."

"Proud Mary is probably the best. It is such a cultural institution. That's our go-to coffee every morning, and I just love how dark their roast is. I've never had a Proud Mary's coffee that I didn't like."

"My favorite pub is not exactly a pub, but a chill bar that has pub energy. It's called The Alderman on Lygon Street. The owners work there, they're so lovely and really generous. It's such a cozy little place."

"We’d go to one of the local bars that we love, like Waxflower. I love Waxflower because they've got nice tunes, really great drinks and some desserts."

"There's a vintage market on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy called Lost and Found Market. It's really fun. I've gotten a lot of amazing stuff from there."

Lost and Found Market

"There's another place called Retropolis in Preston — obsessed. I got my round kitchen table from there. It's another underrated place because you have to drive past it to see it. It's not like on a main strip, but there's a roller rink built next door."
