 ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   [Broadsheet]( 25 - 31 March 2019 [Things To Do] There’s something great happening in Melbourne every day of the year. Hi Melbourne, There are many solid reasons to head out of town this weekend. One of the best-looking galleries in the state is opening for free, the city’s top chefs are having a treechange, and there’s a huge picnic by the sea. In the city, spice up your life at a special screening of the Spice Girls movie, or make a beeline for Belles Hot Chicken: it’s cult katsu sando is back, but not for long. Likewise a famed NYC brewery is doing a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it takeover out west. Plus, Attica’s Ben Shewry has recruited his big-name chef friends for a massive bake-sale fundraiser to support victims of the Christchurch terror attack. See you there on Saturday morning.  Broadsheet top pick [ ]( [A Special Bake-Sale with Attica’s Ben Shewry and Melbourne Food’s Finest With the help of his mates from Embla, Lune, Smith & Daughters, Ides and more, Ben Shewry is putting on an old-school bake-sale fundraiser at Attica.
