"Gourmet rich and delicious Japanese Ramen noodle soups in a great relaxed setting. I usually get the beef brisket Ramen and a pork bun and wash it all down with a Mornington pale ale."  —  The Teskey Brothers

"It has a great vibe and intimate band room where you can catch some amazing local artists. You can order Greek food from the restaurant across the road. The calamari souvlaki is amazing." —  The Teskey Brothers

"They do amazing bagels, best one is chipotle halloumi. Once you’re done there go for a walk through the Ceres environment park down the road. Perfect Sunday."  —  The Teskey Brothers

"The State library in Swanston Street opposite Melbourne Central train station is pretty amazing and often overlooked. Beautiful glass and sandstone and not many tourists around."  —  The Teskey Brothers

"It's a central place with good access to the tram lines so you can get around easily. That area has loads of great cafes, restaurants, parks, shopping and live music venues all within walking distance. Best part of town by far."  —  The Teskey Brothers

"I love the Tote Hotel in Collingwood. It has been a live music venue since the early 80’s (my dad played there in bands when he was young). They have live music in the back band room, upstairs and sometimes in the front bar. It's gritty, the carpet is very sticky and it attracts a mixed crowd of Melbourne musicians and fellow misfits seven days a week."  —  The Teskey Brothers

"The Old bar just up the road is also known for its gritty garage music seven nights a week, a staple breeding ground for many Melbourne bands."  —  The Teskey Brothers

"I would recommend K box Karaoke in La Trobe St. You get a private room with friends. Leave all inhibitions at the door."  —  The Teskey Brothers

"I love the Lost and Found Market on Lygon st. in Brunswick East. It's a huge vintage warehouse packed full of everything from records to clothes to home wares at reasonable prices."  —  The Teskey Brothers

"I find my hometown of Warrandyte to be the most inspiring and naturally beautiful part of Melbourne. It’s a 35 minute drive north east from the city ( take bus 906). It has the Yarra river flowing through it (great for a swim and a picnic) framed by mighty gumtrees. Warrandyte was one of the earliest places where gold was found so it’s got a lot of cultural history. These days it’s known for the strong arts community. All four members of The Teskey Brothers grew up here and we still spend a lot of time in the area. Recently we shot a video for our song ‘Louisa’ in Warrandyte which was a lot of fun."  —  The Teskey Brothers
