The oldest suburb of Melbourne, bohemian Fitzroy is considered part of the city centre. Retro shops, galleries, bookshops, cafés, restaurants, and a healthy nightlife flourish along Brunswick Street. Try Smith Street for great vegetarian and budget-friendly Greek, Asian, Middle Eastern, and Moroccan fare, and Johnston Street for Spanish tapas and flamenco. Fitzroy is also the centre of the Melbournes annual Fringe Festival (September/October).
