appreciators of dope goods, this is for you

One of the few Newcastle spots that you can depend on to always have nice, fresh gear for the la-dies and gents. Not only a store to pick up threads, Pink Metal also holds killer shop parties and has amazing art and design cover-ing its walls. Brands gracing the shelves include Stussy, RVCA,

Gravis, Neuw, Malade, Stolen Girlfriends Club, Cassette Soci-ety and a whole score more. Pink Metal also stock a select range of shoes, accessories and jewelery so rest assured that you can leave the store feeling dope as the pope with all new gear.

guaranteed to not leave empty handedThis store is not just a great source for hard to find records in great condition, it is also a legiti-mate gold mine of treasures from another time/world. Every square inch of the store is utilized to pure perfection so make sure when you go in to take the after-noon off as you will need the time

to properly scour the place. An-other Newcastle gem.

if rolador ain’t open, i ain’t drinking coffeeThats just a stone cold fact on how well the baristas do their thing here .Tasty, fresh, eclec-tic and satisfyingly original in their approach to the hospitality industry, Rolador has indented itself in this Underground Guide for bringing a quirky vibe and rustic personality into a city

where people have been longing to be swept up in a environment straight out of a Melbourne Al-ley or San Franciscan dream. Delicious food and ballin’ drinks make this place exceptional but I must say it is truly the cultured experience of Rolador that keeps me going back.

the hidden gem of newcastle. now you knowThis just happens to be my per-sonal choice for an afternoon pot of earl grey tea with soy milk, always with a selection of One Penny Blacks homemade truffles as a side. Only a few tables grace its space, leaving you with that sense of satisfaction and grati-tude that you are one of the few

that get to enjoy the One Penny pleasures. You sit back with your book, paper, laptop or sketch-book, and enjoy the tunes of the day playing from the cafe. All in all, this is a real gem in the New-castle cafe scene worth many a return. The experience is as plush as the vibe.

more than just the spot of newcastleKing Edward is definetely “the spot” on a nice sunny Newcastle morning or afternoon. A pristine picnic location with views over the whole of Newy and a favour-

ite for hangliders, joggers and those who simply love chillin’ like a villian. Go forth now and enjoy the spots I enjoy on the regular.
