Spending a Day in Fitzroy

If you live in or near Fitzroy, we always recommend visiting the Carlton Gardens if you get the chance. Labeled a “World Heritage Site,” the site is worth a visit before grabbing some café at a local café and checking out options for the afternoon and evening.

Unfortunately, during these unfortunate times of COVID 19, many customers now want options that are strictly delivery! If you are among the crowd that has switched to food delivery as a primary source of meals, you can head back home after your socially-distanced morning over at Carlton gardens. The walk couldn’t be more than 10 minutes if you are in the suburb!
