Arguably the coolest laneway in the ‘Cray, Yewers Street will be home to a series of free entertainment and street food markets this winter. Wander down on a crisp Friday evening to discover a melting pot of international eats, mulled bevvies, dessert offerings, distillery tastings and an eclectic program of live music, carefully curated by hospo mavericks 4People.
These are the same guys behind Back Alley Sally’s, Slice Girls West, Lickety Split, Harry and Larry’s and trendy warehouse venue the Line, so you can trust you’re in good hands. The program vendors and live musicians will change month to month, but we’ve got the first scoop on a few of the highlights you can expect.
Anticipate rare West African eats from A Taste of Senegal, Goldieboy’s cult cheeseburgers, epic toasties from Toasta and American-style pies from Cherry Pie. St Gerry’s will be bringing its legendary Greek doughnuts and desserts to the party, while Smokeyboiz have carnivores covered with hot chicken and barbecue.
There’ll be hawker-style long tables you can share with your mates and heated lounge areas perfect for people-watching over a chocolate Martini from Route 109. Grab a bite and a drink and soak up the fragrant street food aromas on Yewers Street before settling in the undercover warehouse to enjoy the warmth and music with friends.
The monthly event, proudly supported by Maribyrnong City Council, takes place from June 23 to August 25. No tickets are required, so all you need to do is pick a night, don your cosiest coat and head on down. Bonus: it's dog-friendly, so you can bring your pooch!
