Secrets of the City: Seek Out the Unexpected

Tango
55 Little High St, off Durham Ln
A Little High St insitution, vintage boutique Tango is a treasure trove of carefully selected vintage pieces. The welcoming owner Driss Lambaraa scours the world, particularly Europe, for some of his one-of-a-kind pieces, including rare art, furniture and curios. Like a fashion history lesson come to life, this is one unique shopping experience you'll never forget.

Misters
12 Wyndham St
This wholesome inner-city cafe takes inspiration from cuisines around the world and their ever changing menu reflects this. One visit they might offer an Indian, Chinese, French, Mexican, Israeli inspired bowl and the next they might have African, Jamaican, Levantine or Japanese dishes. All produce is seasonal with free-range pork, chicken, market fish or vegetarian options. Served fresh in compostable bowls, they also have delicious smoothies and cold-pressed juices.

Daiso
287 Queen St
There are aisles of surprises in this inner city gem, selling homeware, stationery, hardware, cosmetics, toys, ceramics and more. From the practical to the slightly silly, stumbling across something you didn't know you needed is all part of the fun: whether it be a cute cookie cutter in the shape of a bunny, a lime green silicone tong, or vegetable shaped erasers. You'll find all of it and more.
