The District delivers the (delicious) goods
Earlier this year we were all freely walking the streets, hitting up bars, shopping with friends, and dining out at family dinners with abandon. Of course, it’s all very different now. As we adjust to this ‘new normal’ and connect with friends online via Zoom and Houseparty, we know that one thing hasn’t changed; food is still at the top of our minds and a big part of the conversation.
Luckily we’ve some good news for our city friends! The District is delivering the goods with takeaway and food delivery services for Melbourne’s CBD, Docklands, South Melbourne (and even some of Melbourne’s western suburbs). So read on for an inside guide of some of The District’s tastiest** eats and treats.
