That is the new motto for the newly opened 2640 Restaurant and Bar on Albury's Kiewa Street.
But it is the floor to ceiling Albury-inspired mural which really stands out in paying homage to everything Albury-Wodonga from the monument, Hume Dam wall and the Bethanga Bridge to the Flying Fruit Fly Circus and Tim Fischer.
The local business officially opened last Monday after six month renovations to the old Q Manhattans site.
Co-owner Joel Carey said calling the business after Albury's postcode was a nod to the five local business owners.

"We are all locals and we wanted to do something that represents the Border and also want to support other local businesses and use local produce," he said.
"It is almost like a salute to Albury. The cuisine is Modern Australian and Andrew has come up with his own menu which really is a nod to great local produce."
The fresh new eatery, which is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner, aims to cater for "every one at any time of day".
"We really wanted to have a really welcoming vibe and also make people feel like they are on holidays when they come here," Mr Carey said. Business partner and head chef Andrew Milton said they have created their own brand of wine and coffee. "And we will eventually have our own branded beer as well," he said.
"We have really customised our whole menu and tried to create a really welcoming atmosphere where people can come for a coffee or a drink and just relax.
"We just opened the doors last week and have already had a great response from the community."
2640 also have tapas and cocktails available in their bar.
