The locals on Chaps

On Sat, I went down to the Prahran end of Chaps (Chapel St) to visit the Sony Central store as I needed to purchase an extender battery for my Clie.
I'm bloody pissed off because the normal battery life seems to only go for about 2 days of normal usage. The guy says that doesn't seem right and that I should get it checked out. Bloody annoying. So I decided to get the damn extender battery anyway. $200 later, it makes my previously sleek Clie, a brick.
General Rating: *** (The battery does the job and extends the power life)
Repeat Visit: * (Expensive bastard)

So as I was walking down Chaps, I ran into my friend JP. We went for a wander down to the Windsor end and discovered some really nice cafes, vintage clothing stores and independent clothing stores.
We stopped into Borsch, Vodka & Tears (173 Chapel Street) a Polish themed cafe/restaurant/drinking place and had a coffee. I also had a plate of really excellent cheesy risotto balls.

General Rating: ****
Repeat Visit: **** (Worth exploring)
