Flanked by plane trees, sidewalk cafes and a scattering of iron-laced verandas, Lygon Street offers relaxed shopping just a few blocks from Melbourne's center. This was once the heart of Melbourne's Italian community and you can still find Italian groceries and delis (King and Godfree at number 293-297, Lygon Food Store at 263 and Donnini's Pasta at 398). There are also Australian fashion stores (including Sportsgirl, Witchery and Country Road) and quality shoe shops. Readings (309), one of Melbourne's finest small bookstores, still thrives, right across the road from Borders (380), as do colorful independents, such as giftshop poppyshop (283) and The Original Lolly Store (239). – Jo-Anne Woodward
