#FeastOnCarlisle Sign

With all the elaborate #artwork around #StKilda, sometimes a simple sign is all you need. Like this one at the rear of a #café called "Feast" on #CarlisleStreet, #Balaclava.

#Grilld on #CarlisleStreet

Looks like the new Grill'd on Carlisle Street, Balaclava (#EastStKilda) is off to a positive start. There are so many places to eat along this strip now, so opening it back up to a chain eatery is an interesting move.

There was a time when KFC and Red Rooster used be on Carlisle Street, and the only real major chain food store was, and still is, Subway.

Grill'd do have great burgers, which some people have said are a bit over-priced, but if you have not yet tried, it might be worth giving them a go if you live nearby.
 
It is a shame, however, that several small independent businesses and shop were sacrificed to make room for the relatively large burger venue, but time will tell whether locals will continue to like it for the long term. For now, it is something new and exciting.

Messy Construction @ #MiddleParkBeach, #Melbourne.

This section of beach at Middle Park (between #StKilda and #SouthMelbourne) is looking like a complete mess at the moment due to the works to replace the #sand. The #dredging is taking place in #PortPhillipBay just off the shore and when this is all finished, the beach will look great.

Let's hope they finish it as soon as possible because #Summer is only a couple of weeks away!

 
 
Here is a short 15 second video of the works from yesterday afternoon.

Recently the #WallTwo80 café in #Balaclava / #EastStKilda had a little makeover. Gone is that mural artwork on the external brick wall facing Nelson Street. This is what it looks like now.

Are we fans?

#RestuarantRevolution hits #StKilda

#Scarfo is the #restaurant name and it is now open in #StKilda as a pop-up in the #StKildaTriangle next to the #PalaisTheatre.
 
This is team Melbourne for the #Channel7 Television show, "RestaurantRevolution".
 
Since it is situated in the carpark next to the Palais Theatre (and directly opposite the St Kilda Foreshore, it is easy to find and easy to get to. If you're coming to St Kilda via public transport, then take Tram No.96 and get off at Luna Park and it's a short walk of approximately 100m from there.

We haven't been there yet, so when YOU do, let us know what you think!
