Food is life.
To meat or not to meat, that is the question. On one side of town we have the sweetest vegan eatery of all and on the other, we have a meat-packed, carb-loaded beerhaus. Whether you're strictly plant-based, a lover of dairy or a total carnivore, Brisbane has so much on offer when it comes to finding the perfect dining destination to suit your wants (and needs). We're talking cheese festivals, Hawaiian super foods, loaded schnitty's and a whole lot more so, read on if you're looking for a little flavour-packed foodspiration this week! #YUM.

A guide to the festive month of May
Mayday, Mayday, we're fast approaching the half way mark in 2018 #shriek! The year has gone quicker than the bar line at happy hour on a Friday afternoon. It must be because we've been having so much fun bopping around the city, right? As we close in on the middle of the year we thought, what better way to ease ourselves over the hump than to hit Brisbane's hottest festivals headlining throughout May. From full-blown foodie events to ritzy carnivals, showstopping street performances and festivals dedicated to the fabulous queer folk. So, sharpen those pencils and get ready for a jam-packed schedule in the month of May!

Treat yo' self
Easter is a time when you get to stuff yourself silly with chocolate (and it's semi acceptable), a time where family get together, and of course, it's a time when we get 4 whole days off work #hellyeah. Whether you plan on staying in to devour sweet treats all weekend or you're keen to get out and about, there's no doubt Easter will provide us with the goods this year. Bars, bunnies, breweries and banter, we're going hopping mad just thinking of what's to come this Easter long weekend.

Feeling True Blue
Australia Day; a day where more than half of the country use this momentous public holiday to flock to our gorgeous beaches to sizzle like sausages in the sunshine. A day usually spent laughing, drinking and BBQ-ing with friends and family. Does that sound about right? There's nothing we love more then a bit of fun in the sun but this year, instead of hitting the beach, we've decided to stay and celebrate Australia's day of birth in our beloved Brisbane. From Vegemite burgers to South Bank beach BBQ's and gin-tastic parties, there's plenty to do in the city this Aussie Day.
