#Food

Really though, Sumting Fresh is hard to explain. It was once a food trailer in Midrand, then became a food truck, then a full-on food party bus feeding thousands of festival-goers, then a brick-and-morter restaurant in Norwood. (Also, the food bus is still going strong today.) Sumting Fresh serves creative and sophisticated cuisine in a casual, fun, almost-fast-food environment.

Tonino’s has been on my hit list forever.

I first noticed Tonino’s a few years ago during a visit to the fabulous Kalahari Books, which is across the street. The restaurant caught my eye immediately with its bright yellow facade. I made a mental note to check it out sometime, then forgot about it.

27 Boxes is a retail center made out of shipping containers on 4th Avenue in Melville.

I recently wrote a story about 27 Boxes for the Differe**nt, which goes into the interesting history of the center and of Faan Smit Park, the Joburg City park that used to be where 27 Boxes is now. So I won’t go into that in this post.

A few months ago I blogged about Feigel’s Kosher Delicatessen in Glenhazel. I was excited to find Feigel’s because they sell authentic boiled bagels, which are hard to find in Johannesburg.

Last week I was invited to try out a co-working space called Basecamp, which is in Linden.

A co-working space is basically an office for people like me – people who don’t exactly have jobs. I’d been wanting to try one for a while, hoping that working in a quasi-office-like environment would help me to be more productive.

This post, featuring Thirdspace, is the second in an occasional series about my favorite new coffeeshops in Joburg.

In a continuation of this series on my favorite new Jozi coffeeshops, I bring you Thirdspace in Fourways.
