This JB HiFi is a pretty decent store outside of the CBD, it's big, full of stuff and lots of cheap DVD's, CD's, games, TV's, gaming consoles, etc. The staff can be hard to get hold of, but otherwise very friendly. I love spending some time just browsing, I always come away with something.

Is on the corner of Sydney Rd and Barkley st, no drive thru which is a bit annoying and a small car park out the back. The food has always been good. It's really just a place to pick up the food and go, not much seating. Can be tricky if you're driving as it's a busy intersection.

Excellent idea. I used to get the Wellington, NZ ones for the last few years. I got this when I moved to Melbourne this year. It is a fantastic way to explore the city. With great discounts on food, cinema, gaming, entertainment, dining... it pays for itself in the first few uses.

Approximate cost: $45-60

I love this Borders store, it's massive and has just about everything you could ever ask for. Nice quiet environment for reading or browsing. I enjoy their vast range and they stock for all genres

I always find this cinema to be disappointing. It needs to be refurbished. The seats are small, uncomfortable, and your knees touch the seats in front of you - and I'm only 165cm tall. Not the best sound unless you're in the massive theatre.

I often find this to be the school kids hang out, and it's usually packed during school holidays, weekends and evenings.

There are nicer cinemas close by.

I went here with two other very hungry friends, and we ordered a decent amount of food (all looking to put in $20+ ea) only to be abused by the chef when our food was being put onto our table - we had ordered the curry platter for 3 (yummy), the japanese pancake (delicious) and the devilled potatoes (interesting) and he thought we weren't going to eat it all and it would need to be thrown away... well we did eat it all. The servings are substantial, and you pay what you believe the food is worth.

It can take some time to be seated as it can be very busy. This is a vegetarian place.

Approximate cost: $pay what you believe it's worth

The Rose Hotel is a great place to get an excellent, cheap feed! The portions are sizable if not huge and the prices are so cheap. $13 for a steak that is just delicious with lots of chips and a lovely, simple salad. The dining room area is simple but quiet. A great hotel with lots of personality on the side roads of Fitzroy. A must for all!

Approximate cost: $12-15

I cannot say enough about Diceys! We love it! We've only ever had it delivered, but it's here so quickly it's impossible for it to be cooked. But it is... and to perfection! The Margherita is just delicious and isn't oily like some other pizza joints in Brunswick. A+++ Highly recommend. It's also well priced and with a $15 min order for delivery it's one of the cheapest delivery options in the area!

Approximate cost: $12-$20

One of my favourite cinemas in melbourne, always clean and tidy and the old school cinema feel! The cinemas have never been PACKED, nor are they overloaded with school kids like most Hoyts cinemas! Always a great experience and wonderful restaurants across the road to make for a great experience

My girlfriend took me here for a date one night, and having only really tried Sushi prior I was in for a dining experience. We decided to order about 7 entrees to sample lots of different things, and it was just delicious. Staff are courteous, food arrives steaming hot and quickly. The decor' was simple, the menu extensive. I'm looking forward to going back for the Bento box.
