We love the tasty schnitzel from our near & dear neighbour Merle's Schnitzel. They are SA’s first dedicated schnitzel shop and used to trade from a shipping container in the Foreshore, but now we are lucky enough to have them right around the corner!

We love our neighbourhood! If you want to get inked or just see THE MOST BEAUTIFUL tattoo parlour in Cape Town, visit Tomb Tattoo in Dunkley Square where Nick, Matthew, Justus, Wesley & BruceTheKid ply their trade.

Enjoy your weekend.

For the first time, our art collection will feature work by… a computer. Generative art or #genart is produced by scanning for patterns in art history and re-assembling them in a new image. Human multimedia artists are already using this technology to create new art forms.

It's spring, meaning our hibernation is over! Kick off the season by seeing the Cape's wildflowers right on our doorstep. Be sure to keep an eye out for the Cape Witch Orchid on Table Mountain, which cleverly disguises itself as another flower to attract bees. 📸: @Grootbos

Put your taste buds to the test! 🔥👅 That's right, the CHIPS Hot Sauce Tasting is back. Last month, our members bravely sampled sauces from near and far, ranging from "Is that it?" to "Hand me a jug of milk!” - some even made it to our homemade Death Chilli sauce.

This is Cape Town in 1940 - apart from our enormous flat topped landmark, the Mother City today looks completely different. Notably absent is the Green Point Stadium - and are those waves crashing into Woodstock? 📷: View From Above #OldCapeTown

We asked female entrepreneur, Natalia Carvalho, from the branding and UI/UX design group Estrela Studio (who just so happens to work at CHIPS), what advice she would give to women trying to make it in the local startup scene. #WomensMonth
