Fitzroy is one of Melbourne's most creative neighbourhoods, occupying the city's smallest and most densely-populated suburban area. Decades of urban renewal, gentrification, and historic preservation has produced a haven for artists, designers, makers and musicians to live, work and play. Fitzroy is home to many migrant communities whose influences contribute to the area's diverse social and cultural landscape. The suburb also boasts a wide range of independent small businesses, with an abundance of bars, cafes, restaurants, galleries, street art and entertainment.

Po' Boy Quarter is an eatery serving traditional New Orleans fare and not the place to visit if you're on a diet. Its interior channels a 1930s Louisiana vibe and features original New Orleans street tiles out the front. Po' Boy is the only place in Melbourne dedicated to its traditional New Orleans namesake — meat or fried seafood on a French baguette. Afterwards, step into Huey Long's, a bar at the back with an extensive beer list and stellar Bloody Marys.
