I love cheese and I've spent the past couple of months investigating some of the best places to buy it in Joburg. Here are five of my top choices.

I was invited to dinner at Urbanologi, to try out their new #Project150 menu. I was reminded why this is without a doubt my favorite downtown restaurant.

Chips are an integral part of South African food culture. TJIPS, which plays on the local pronunciation of "chips", takes chip culture to a whole new level.

I recently ran 54 floors from the bottom to the top of Ponte City, the tallest residential building in Africa (at the time I wrote this post in April 2019).

I tried out Coalition Pizza's Kitchen Table experience at their shop in Pineslopes. I will never see Marherita pizza the same way again.

I found myself not cycling on a cycle ride through Alexandra Township. I had a great time visiting some old favoriates and also discovering new places.

Yukon House, a beautiful historic mansion in the old Jozi suburb of Bezuidenhout Valley, is one of Joburg's best secret places to have afternoon tea.

Artivist is a bar/restaurant/art gallery/music venue on the coolest secret street in Braamfontein. If you like art, food, cocktails and music: Go.

After years of gentle prodding by Jay Patel's daughter, I finally visited Langwan Cleaners, a general dealer on Albert Street in downtown Joburg.
