Fifty Acres

Fifty Acres is what I like to call suave - charming, confident, and elegant. Designed by Sue Palmer from Liquid Creativity and Georgia Nowak and Dhiren Das from Tone and Co, the fit out is simple, sleek and sophisticated. Found on the far end of Bridge road, Fifty Acres is the perfect spot to hit up after shopping up a storm. Myself, I skip the shopping and kept my eyes on the prize. I head straight to Fifty Acres to meet up with the lovely...

Let me take you through my morning. 5.00am - Wake up.  5.30am - Pick up friend-just-as-crazy-as-me. 6.00am...

Stagger Lee's

Stagger Lee was a pimp from St. Louis, Missouri. He notoriously shot Billy Lyons, a cell mate in the 1900s for pinching his red Stetson hat and since then over 400 musicians and artists have retold the story of Stagger Lee; the ultimate bad-ass.

Located on the site of what was once Happy Palace, the space has now transformed into an east coast...
