  Jeremy Wortsman says he was born in the fictional city of West Egg, Long Island. A New-York-to-Melbourne convert, he's the co-founder of design studio Chase & Galley and the director of the Jacky Winter Group, an agency representing Australian illustrators.' Jeremy works from a studio above his illustration gallery, Lamington Drive. Apart from coconut-coated baked goods, he loves tattoos, ice hockey, big art and percolated coffee.

  Plenty of people think Salvador Dalí was all about art. However, like any real hipster, he was also a designer. Liquid Desire is a huge Dalí retrospective currently on show at NGV International . Part of Melbourne Winter Masterpieces, it brings together more than 200 works by the great moustache. The pieces range from Dalí's famous paintings to his commercial design work – the Chupa Chups logo, several Vogue covers, some incredible mass-market textiles and an ashtray designed for Air India in 1967. 'Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality.' SD said it first.

Until 4 October. NGV International, 180 St Kilda Road, Melbourne. Tel: 03 8620 2222.

Jeremy:
Art. I always get excited about shows at ACCA , which is by far my favourite gallery in the country. I think I was very spoiled growing up in New York, where art had a lot of physical space. I love being able to walk into ACCA and be completely enveloped by a work.
Closer to home, Lamington Drive has a great program to finish out 2009, including Kat Macleod's second solo show, as well as shows by Rik Lee , Oslo Davis , and a kite extravaganza by Clemens Habicht .

  In 1901 John Elfreth Watkins Junior predicted that by 2001, the letters C, X and Q would be 'unnecessary'. Perhaps the people of 2101 will look back on this year's State of Design Festival theme, 'Sampling the Future' and ask, 'How could those freaks have thought we'd still be living on land?' Whatever we all come up with, State of Design will be a city-wide ideas spree and a backstage tour of Victoria's fascinating design scene. Check out hundreds of free events in the Design For Everyone program – studio tours are just the beginning.

15 to 25 July. Various Melbourne venues.

Jeremy:
At State of Design this year I am very much looking forward to defending our title in Iron Designer II ! It's sort of my Chase & Galley swan song, so I hope to go out with a bang. It's true, I think we're really spoilt for design choice in Melbourne. If you asked me about architecture though, the thing I am most looking forward to is the Docklands ice rink opening in February 2010. Now I don't have to drive to Oakleigh for ice hockey!

  True story: most people spend more time in gallery shops than they do inside galleries. You think Damien Hirst made money from that Sothebys sale? Pffft. You should see his postcard profits. Third Drawer Down knows that shopping is part of a well-rounded art experience. They've been commissioning limited-edition art on tea towels for years, and now they've opened a Museum of Art Souvenirs. Expect David Shrigley decals, Duchamp toilet paper, ' boot bags ' and more. Warhol totally would have opened this place first, but he couldn't find property on George Street.

93 George Street, Fitzroy. Tel: 03 9534 4088.

Jeremy:
I think Melbourne is a very easy place to get new projects off the ground. Financially it's more possible here than in other cities, and there's always an air of excitement. I love going to Outré and seeing what international work they're bringing out. Metropolis for books and witty banter. Robio for things to put on my desk to make me happy. Gorker Gallery is also a favourite – the way they reinvent the space for each show is really inspiring.

  The way it seems to appear out of nowhere as you're strolling down Keele Street, Cibi is a bit like a Japanese version of the Tardis. It's also surprisingly large for a place with such a small doorway. That is where the similarity ends, however, because this cult cafe is light-flooded, calm and distinctly technology free. Melbourne has discovered the Japanese breakfast, so get there early. But watch out – once you're full of sashimi, you'll start browsing the homewares, saying things like, 'Honey could you carry a coffee table back to the hotel?'

45 Keele Street, Collingwood. Tel: 03 9077 3941.

Jeremy:
Like alcohol, I cannot distinguish between good or bad coffee. I take it however it comes. Especially if it's percolated. Otherwise Arcadia , being the closest place to our studio, is where I go most of the time. I like to think I have sampled almost every burger in Melbourne, and can never look past Grill'd when I need a reliable feed. I could also probably spend the rest of my life at USA Foods – or eating the pesto eggs at Fandango...

Jeremy:
I think it's hard to say whether or not Melbourne is a design city, but I know the people who live here are very receptive to new ideas. We've definitely got a little design community here on Gertrude Street. And there's a lot happening at JW right now. We've just opened two satellite agencies – The Hatch , which is an incubator agency for emerging artists, and The Bowery for more traditional illustrators including storyboarders and 3D renderers. There's more, but if I told you I'd have to kill you.

  A place where everybody knows your name. Or, at least, the dog remembers you – and there's free wireless internet. The Brooklyn Arts Hotel is quietly changing the face of short stays in Melbourne. A hip, friendly little B&B in the back streets of Fitzroy – where espresso is only 30 seconds away at any moment. We have a two-night midweek stay for two people at the Brooklyn to give away! Yes, midweek. That's when you really want to see Fitzroy, trust us. To enter, tell us why you need a break from all your worries. Email us (use the link, don't reply) – including your answer in the subject line – by 5pm, Monday 6 July.

48 – 50 George Street, Fitzroy. Tel: 03 9419 9328.< /span>
