Elizabeth Street (between Tasma and Federal Streets) contains many of the restaurants and cafes for which North Hobart is known. The area could be compared with Lygon Street in Melbourne, except on a much smaller scale.
The State Theatre has expanded, considerably to provide a number of simultaneous showings and a food service and bookshop.
Restaurants in the area include two Italian restaurants, one of which was established by and named for City of Hobart alderman Marti Zucco and two fish bars. Asian food dominates the strip with Indian food Annapurna, Thai food, Japanese food and Chinese food all being popular. Other restaurants serve Mexican and Turkish food.
