Welcome back to the first blog for 2014. It's a fun one- lots of fun actually and I can't wait to visit again.
It's the Eat Street Markets at Hamilton just beside Portside. They've been running for about 2 mths now. It's on one of the old commercial shipping docks and is a mass of shipping containers converted to food outlets.
The containers have fantastic graffiti and vertical gardens and other cool features. They are stacked a maximum of 2 high.
As the sun sets the whole area comes alive with a gorgeous web of fairy lights woven everywhere.
Each container is run by a food operator offering their unique type of food. You can dine your way around the world. There were even food nationalities that I had not heard of, which just ensures that you want to come back again so that you can try more. The offerings are from the simple fish and chips, through to hot German sausages, wontons and dim sums, pizza, Greek octopus and halomi and so much more that I'm getting hungry already!
The span of stores between the large arched covers is licenced which makes the whole experience even nicer. It was so relaxing to enjoy live music under the balmy sunset with a yummy food and a cold drink. There are a couple of areas set up for live music.
And everywhere there are funky but simple chairs and benches to make you stay a while and soak in the incredible atmosphere.

I have become a big fan of Eat Street and over the holidays I've been busy recommending it to my friends. Definitely put this on your "to do list". They operate Friday and Saturday evenings and kick off from 4pm. There is plenty of parking and it's a great family activity as well, as there is something to suit tummies of all ages as well as the interesting stalls and entertainment.
