It's Friday in the city!

It's the most wonderful time of the year – and while Andy Williams might disagree with me on the dates, it's February in Perth and therefore, the time of All Things Great In The City. Yes my little ones, it's those few months where complaining there's nothing to do in the city are FORBIDDEN by LAW because if you're still playing that line, you clearly haven't done your research. Fringe Festival has officially kicked off, and it's mere moments until the Perth International Arts Festival which will bring some absolute favourites to our shores, including the darling Marieke Hardy for the Writer's Fest; and professional musician/sexpot Ryan Adams with the arts fest. It's an exciting time to be in Perth, and if I hear otherwise you're going straight to your room with no dessert. (Ps, speaking of Perth-isms, have y'all seen this? It's pretty nail-on-the-head: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpW1dv6rTgk
Forrest Place has been hosting it's own party in the form of the Twilight Hawker Markets since October – what can I say? After absolutely packing out Forrest Chase last march in the lead up to Eat Drink Perth (coming soon, people), they relaunched, giving the loyal shoppers of Forrest Chase something new to nibble on until March 31. If you haven't been yet, what exactly are you waiting for, guy? The atmosphere is bustling and fun, but more than that, there are some excellent morsels to be had. My totally-unbiased-although-the-owner-is-a-friend hot tip: Get there early for Marcelita's Empanadas – they pop up at various markets around town, but it's nice to have a time and place where deep-fried Colombian treats are concerned.
