Northcote is apparently where it's at these days, and while I don't really give a shit about cool factor, I am a big fat food nerd.
So while Sigiri is definitely where it's at food-wise these days, their website... not so much.
NB If you're a building nerd (as I am), Northcote shops on the High Street front all seem to have fully sick pressed metal ceilings. There are a couple of amazing old theaters and ballrooms on Hight Street (The Regal is my goal, once they get rid of the stupid carpet in the ballroom itself!), the Northcote Town Hall will melt your brain with its beauty and of course the Westgarth cinema rocks.
Otherwise, there's the Northcote Social Club for live music.
