Centre Place and a nice Jungle Juice

I love Melbourne. Unlike Sydney, most of the great things are hidden away in her nooks and crannies. As my old boss, who is English and lived in Hong Kong, once said, "you really have to scratch deeper than the surface to enjoy Melbourne". I recommend all visitors who travel to Melbourne should find a local to show them around and help them find those secret "nooks and crannies".

One of my favourite places to eat and watch the world go by is Centre Place. A narrow alleyway in the heart of the CBD. It has small shops and even smaller cafes. One of the best joints to sit and ponder the universe is Jungle Juice (20 Centre Place). Jungle Juice make an outstanding "heart starter" named the Spanish Espresso; a shot of espresso and a shot of condensed milk... I was going to take a quick photo of one, but devoured it in my haste for a fix. Next time...maybe?
