There are some fantastic places to go out on Gertrude Street. The burgers at Little Rebel are amongst the best in Melbourne, plus they only cost $10 including a beer. Enoteca, Birdman Eating, Ume and Arcadia serve up great coffee and food as well.

But if you're not used to seeing the local drunks on the turps by 10am or kids occaisonally chroming on the corner with brunswick street then you might be in for a bit of an awakening.

Over the last decade Brunswick Street has done its very best to maintain its character and eccentricities. What has changed in this time is the number of people that know what is on offer.

It is still one of the best parts of Melbourne.
