Newcastle is full of creative vibes and if you can see food as art then you’ll want to mix your (This Is Not Art) TINA events with some great grub as well. For dinner on your first night you should rock up to Scotties fish cafe for live art and $10 curries. They get cheaper the more you buy, so grab some friends or strangers to join you.
You should be able to get up early for breakfast on your first morning before you really get into the swing of the weekend. If you like dolphin spotting while you spoon your bircher go to Estabar, if you want people watching then One Penny Black is the one for you.
For your mid morning coffee, Good Brother Espresso is open all weekend and is just around the corner from the TINA venues of 48 Watt Street and the Royal Exchange. For a caffeine fix in the mall One Penny and Ground Floor will keep you more than satisfied. Keep an eye out for Mama P treats where the benchmark for flavour blows the expectations of its sugar free ingredients. You can’t go home without a visit to Doughheads for doughnut flavours of your wildest dreams. Around in King Street, on your way to events at the Foghorn Brewhouse venue, is the Tea Project offering every tea you could imagine. Each one brewed with love and perfection.
With so many events on you won’t want to linger over dinner but you can still grab something awesome between gigs. The Casa de Loco can fill you with a few soft tacos, a sangria, a dos equis or a cocktail popsical. For fried chicken flavours you’ve not thought possible and on tap craft beer Chook and Broosky is the place.
