11.22.19 Travel Day - 11.23.19 Glenn's Day of Fun

November 22nd was a travel day. We headed from Hobart to Melbourne. When we got to Melbourne, we checked in and then headed to a rooftop bar and restaurant. We had a couple drinks upstairs and then had dinner downstairs at Bomba. It was unremarkable except for an excellent corn on the cob.

November 23rd was Glenn's Day of Fun. Glenn does a great job figuring out a fun day of stops. We had a late start around noon since it was a working morning. We visited all different bars and restaurants.

Lunch was a traditional pub lunch at Elephant and Wheelbarrow.

 Then we headed up to Good Heavens rooftop bar.

 

 This was my favorite rooftop bar of all the ones we visited. It was open air, had a great cocktail list, and look at this wallpaper:

 

 Next stop was AER - it's advertised as a rooftop bar, but really more enclosed. It had a special - a carafe of cocktail for $20.00. That was a steal. The Australian Dollar exchanges at about $0.70 to the US Dollar, but the prices here are about 30% higher so it all evens out.

 
We made an impromptu stop at Mountain Magic. I had a good time watching the prep chef make spring rolls and the kitchen staff all joke around.

Then we headed to Harley House This place is terrific. The food was fantastic. The wine, beer and cocktails list is fun. Definitely a must visit.

 
These scallops were terrific. One of the best balanced dishes I've had.

 

 Glenn remembered some people from the Long Lunch at Cromy recommended Eau de Vivre. The entrance is a nondescript door and it has some flair cocktails. The cocktails were decent. It's a lot of hype, but still worth a visit.

 
 We ended the day at the Noodle Night Market - an outdoor food festival. I had soufflé pancakes and something called a Puffle. It was fun to see so many people out enjoying the good food and weather.
