GJ's is a bit of a St Kilda institution. It does great fill you up nosh and one of the best and most sociable horseshoe bars it has ever been my good luck to prop up.
In the winter you can snag a booth near the fire and in the summer there is a seating area outside under the big palm tree, where you can get yourself around the marvellous big brekkie (pig and chicken salad if you will). Get seriously jangled on the coffee and watch the trams and peoples all roll by from beneath the huge table umbrella.
A seriously broad cross section of the community call this their local, from the occasional soap "star" to a couple of the neighbourhood's mentally ill. It is always a treat.
I miss St Kilda, despite the yuppies ruining it.
96 tram from the city and get off when you see a fourty foot maniacal face, that's Luna Park.
Congratulations you are in St Kilda.
It is a top little city and if any tourist ever asks me where is a good place in Australia, I answer like every other Melburnian.
"Sydney! Mate you'd love it."
Hee hee hee.
If you can see the coat hanger, mate you're standing in it.
