Few cities so pleasantly surprise as Düsseldorf, with its rollicking nightlife, boundary-pushing architecture and world-class art and fashion scenes well and truly defying its reputation for docility.

We’re guessing by now you’ve heard of ‘dark tourism’. Probably from watching budget-Louix-Theroux, David Farrier, bumble his way through war zones and torture sites and nuclear fallout on Netflix’s 2018 hit, Dark Tourist. It’s a show that raises a few ethical questions (without bothering with pesky things, like ethical answers). Should travellers visit places of death, destruction and genocide? Is that just cashed-up Western voyeurism? Does dark tourism help fight ignorance, or is that what we tell ourselves to justify a good holiday anecdote?

Oh London, you sunny-one-minute, freezing-the-next, confusing centre of all things wonderful. Getting lost in England’s capital is a joy because you’re never really lost.

Not to be dramatic, but news of a new rooftop spot opening is high up with there with the best news, ever. Especially when it’s almost summer, the weather is heating up, and the sun sets that teensy bit later (soz, Daylight Savings). Given the level of competition in Brisbane, taking out title of best rooftop spot is no mean feat. But, in Blackmarket Bar & Grill we think we have a new champion.

Dubbed the ‘Fight Club’ of urban art, Secret Walls is the subterranean, live creative battle that you absolutely need to get around. 

It’s a firm yes from me. Supreme continues their hot streak of collabs and I’m calling it – this could be one of the best they’ve given us this year.

The impending Howard Smith Wharves along the Valley/CBD foreshore has the city buzzing.

We're not crying, you are.

Worth the damn wait.

The buzz around Brisbane’s latest restaurant launch has been palpable. Originally hailing from the Gold Coast, Hellenika has had a loyal following since it first opened its doors in 2015. Award-winning Greek fare, a sleek and modern interior; your average high-end taverna this is definitely not.

You won’t even need your credit card for these cracking deals.

Between its urban interior and playful Mexican-fusion menu, Two Fingers feels more like New York or Melbourne than the tropical cafes or warungs of Bali. It’s a good example of what makes the island such an impressive culinary destination.

Life changing is an understatement.

Grab the popcorn and settle in, an Aussie supernatural crime drama is on the horizon.

​What’s that old saying? Someone had to be the first to eat an oyster? I feel like emu eggs require a similar level of Magellan-like gastronomic courage.

Fluorescent Adolescent is the tune of our teenage years. Period.

The British Film Festival is back for 2018—and all we can say is it's a cinematic romp through the Isles featuring the best of British film talent.

We’re big, nay huge fans of pretty much anything the crew at Three Blue Ducks put their name to. From The Farm at Byron to their slew of successful restaurants (including their new set up at the swanky W Brisbane), we’re pretty much hooked on everything the Sydney surfers-turned hatted restaurateurs serve up. So, it’s only natural that after tackling the fine dining scene and nailing the farm to table game, a bar was next on their hit list.

If you are planning a weekend stay-cay in Brisbane forget the Airbnbs. Yet another new option is coming, and it will exceed all your expectations. 

Time to embrace that monochrome palette, care of fashion’s favourite silver-haired icon. 

Situated in the historic T.C Beirne Building down the Brunswick St Mall, Beirne Lane is set to open in early November, just in time for the warm weather when we’re all on a continuous loop (read: desperate search) for frosty bevvies and cheap-but-good nosh.

Let’s just say we’ll never look at whipped cream in the same way.

Fashion is getting meaningful and we are here for it. 

Get hyped guys, we’ve been blessed with a first look at Virgil Abloh’s debut Louis Vuitton collection. 

The Good Food & Wine Show is essentially the culmination of what happens when you give Australia’s foodie community the best produce and permission to create whatever the hell they want, really. Picture a bunch of local foodies going mad in Willy Wonka’s factory for a few days and you’re on the right track. So you can throw those misconceptions of it being a boring exhibition out the door, then. 

And it's set to be pure sonic magic.

There is a movement underway of young people that want to cast of the shackles of the 9-5 and pursue a life that brings them real happiness and enjoyment. People who don’t want to wait until traditional retirement age to pull up stumps, but instead to make this happen in their 40’s, 30’s and sometimes even in their 20’s.

It may be approaching summer over here but think of those poor souls up in the northern hemisphere for a second. Nothing but dull, dreary skies for the foreseeable and only the promise of their local café serving up pumpkin spice lattes for comfort. It’s little wonder the pumpkin spice obsession has spilt (literally) over from hot beverages to beauty (?).

Going under the name Garden Pantry, this hip new juncture of food retail comes with a West End branch of three of Brisbane’s best restaurants, and a view overlooking the brand-new parkland, The Common.

Tyler, The Creator has blessed us with a first look at the latest drop for his ongoing GOLF le FLEUR* series with Converse.

We love a face mane. We really bloody do. But if we clock whiskers falling even slightly short of their fullest, most luscious potential, there’s nothing that irks us more. Where’s the love? The care? The COMMITMENT. Moustaches don’t just *happen*, it takes a lot of energy, attention and beard oil for those bushy bastards to reach peak follicular glory. And don’t get me started on untrimmed beards.

Twenty years ago the South Central Louisiana State University Mud Dogs beat the Cougars at the Bourbon Bowl 30-27. It was a massive event in sporting history and has remained one of the greatest comebacks of all time. You might know it better as The Waterboy. 

Contender for collab of the year? Absolutely, yes. 

Christmas has come early this year guys. And if you ask me it’s the best kind of present – one that won’t leave you grimacing and forcing a “I love it”, when in reality it’s possibly the fuggliest thing you’ve ever seen.

A collective of Australia’s leading female-identifying tattoo artists are banding together for a day of flash tattooing to raise money for women in need. Aptly dubbed ‘Not Just a Girl’ the day-long event will see each artist design a sheet of original tattoos for patrons to choose from. 

Welcome to Unmasked. The series where we try a bunch of weird beauty treatments to see a) whether they actually work, b) how much we can embarrass our editors. Particularly the male ones. Particularly the male ones whose skin looks like ham.

Better known as the home of Australia’s first and only vegan ramen, the Gold Coast’s I Like Ramen has been defying convention and straight-up changing the noodle game since coming onto the scene in 2017.
