Bianca: A quick google search on Doctor Faustus had me stumbling upon the play by English playwright Christopher Marlowe, a tale of a man who sells his soul to the devil for power, pleasure and knowledge…all that fun stuff. Now I wasn’t after the aforementioned goodies but there has been discussion about what I would […]
Bianca: Searching for a place to eat before Chelsea Handler’s stand-up comedy show at the State Theatre late last year was fairly easy. What was close, had decent food, an excellent wine list and offered something a little bit different to the norm? That would have to be ‘Gowings Bar & Grill’. Situated adjacent to […]
Vanessa: Passing through the quaint country town of Berry is an obligatory passage towards the south coast of NSW. The charm of the town makes it an absolute pleasure and an ideal recharge stop for lunch. Recently my parents, fiancé and I were on our way back from spending a weekend relaxing at Sussex Inlet […]
Bianca: Looking for a quick feed before seeing the seriously effed up ‘Map to the Stars’ with my work pal Mark (Job Dun) who I then proceeded to bully into making him wear his namesakes t-shirt, yes I’m a dictator. We made our way to ‘Moo Burgers’ in Newtown. For the burger mad fiend that […]
Bianca: Every now and then I like to gussy up and get my fancy pants on. ‘Aria’ like ‘Quay’ was one that had alluded me till now. Joining me on my adventure was my pal Ivan (Ivanna – said naturally, in a thick Croatian accent). It was cold and windy this particular Friday night, so […]
Bianca: Murmurings of a good burger is a sure fire way to get my attention and having been opened for just 7 weeks now ‘Rupert & Ruby’ have certainly done that. Occupying the ICON PARK crowd funded venue, formerly inhabited by ‘Stanley Street Merchants’, touting itself with the tagline ‘Modern Australian meets traditional American’. *And […]
Bianca: The restaurant/ café scene in Concord has definitely lifted its game the last 10 years or so, with cuisines ranging from Italian, Thai, Japanese, Lebanese and French in the form of ‘Antoine’s Grill’. This marks my 5th visit, meaning this quaint suburban restaurant must be onto a good thing because I love to mix things […]
2014 is an important one for me as it is the year I am getting married. In typical bride-to-be fashion I have begun the mental shift from carefree living to the notorious “shredding for the wedding” state of mind. With five months to go until the big day, I started thinking about a weight management […]
Vanessa: If you have ever wanted to experience the culture and flavor of southern Italy but haven’t made it there, then a trip to Via Napoli Pizzeria in Lane Cove is a must! This bustling suburban pizzeria not only serves some of the tastiest (and largest) wood fired pizza in Sydney, the charismatic wait staff […]
Bianca: Despite living in the inner west for more than half of my life, Balmain has remained one of those virtual bubble’s I have somehow managed to avoid. Which really is a crying shame, the dining options are limitless, fantastic Thai, Italian, Middle Eastern – and that’s really only the tip of the iceberg. Bursting […]
Alex: For us Aussies, summer is now nothing but a distant memory…okay exaggerating a tiny bit but July will be the commencement of my Europe holiday so I’m literally counting down the days until I will be swimming in the beautiful islands of Croatia and Greece and time cannot take any longer. So for us Sydney […]
Vanessa: There are so many things I love about Sundays. Apart from the obvious of it being a day of rest, the opportunity for a lazy brunch is one that I find hard to pass up. On this particular sunny Sunday, my good friend Pete suggested we gather the troops to try one of his […]
Vanessa: I’m going to open this post with a very brave and bold statement. That is that I was recently fortunate enough to have had the best dining experience of my entire life to-date at Eleven Madison Park in New York City. A big call I know and I do encourage you to stay with […]
Alex: Leisurely long lunches, what other way is there to spend a beautifully sunny Saturday afternoon? Café Birkenhead, nestled inside the Birkenhead shopping complex with stunning views of the Parramatta River, not your average dining destination for a quick bite to eat in between some serious shopping. With a seriously classy revamp, by day Café […]
