This piece takes the format I developed with King St
Camel and Nana Lily’s Music, and applies a different map.
I love the Underground maps: where a city is compressed
in a simple easy to read format.
Newtown compresses a world of cuisines into a small
space, so I played with a series of underground-resembling maps which plotted
the international cuisines we have access to.
This map only shows the Thai food, European food and Coffee lines:
The other maps didn’t make it in!
Of course the tricky thing is that Newtown food is a
literal moveable feast: even in the three months I’ve been working on this
series some of the places listed here have closed and others have opened up.
Is your favourite there?
