This is the latest trendy place to eat in the inner city. There are many restaurants and the whole precinct has a great feel. Great place for bars, restaurants, or quality food shopping! There is also a pharmacy, wine store, supermarket, hairdresser, nail bar, and a medical centre. Turn right at Wigram Road and walk down the hill and turn right at the bottom of the hill towards the apartments. At the end of the street, at the park are the Tramsheds.

The largest in the southern hemisphere! And easy walk from the house and a great place to grab some lunch. They also run tours of the markets very early in the morning where you can see the fish auction, which must be booked in advance.
