Lygon Street

(Note that this is not continuous with the Nicholson Street which runs through the Melbourne CBD, Fitzroy, Carlton and Brunswick East.)

It is populated by the Italian families which migrated here in the 1950s, and holds the record of being the first place to install an espresso machine in Australia.

Toto's Pizza House, the first pizzeria established in Australia, has been located at the southern end of Lygon Street continuously since its opening in 1961.

[citation needed] The East Brunswick Club opened its doors as a music venue at the northern end of the street in May 2006.

[citation needed] Lygon Street was the main headquarters of an Italian Australian criminal organisation called The Carlton Crew.
