Reuben Hills – Surry Hills

9 January 2012 Breakfast/Brunch

OK Surry Hills, when is it gonna stop? Does a single month pass without a new eatery opening? Isn’t your cup full already? As soon as a new place opens, even before anyone can step foot on the polished concrete in that new conversion, the urbanites swoop without fail. This town has constant cravings for [...]

Coffee and the City

My name is John and I have an addiction. Prior to setting off for the States I had a nagging concern. When addicts don’t get exactly what they’re craving, what their body needs, things get a little tense. A little messy. I’ve been told by a few non Australians that we’re spoilt for choice when [...]

The Wedge Espresso – Glebe

21 November 2011 Breakfast/Brunch

For a neighbourhood that’s a mere ten minutes from home, Glebe barely falls on the radar as being an option for eating or loitering. Don’t get me wrong as I think there are some great little places to eat at and the village atmosphere has more appeal than the centre of Newtown, but somehow it’s just never thought of. [...]

On an island 21.6 km in length and 3.7 km in width, how many roads do you think there’d be on Manhattan? 250? 300? Would you believe there’s just one? With an island full of numbered and named streets and avenues, somehow this island ended up with just one road.   Several months prior to setting off on our trip [...]

Almost two decades ago when I lived in Brisbane I never really made it to Stones Corner, a gritty enclave in the inner south-east about 10 minutes from town. It was once a mecca for outlet and clearance fashion stores and while many of them still remain to satisfy those bargain shoppers, the food scene is [...]

Belljar Coffee – Newtown

Who would have thought that the floral plates and mugs I remember using at my aunts place back in the late 70′s would be considered vintage today and turn up as sugar containers at a café? They may not be the same ones but Belljar Coffee in Newtown has brought back quite a few memories of tearing around the streets [...]

Sur Bourke Espresso Bar – Darlinghurst

20 June 2011 Breakfast/Brunch

Ever since making the move from apartment life in Pyrmont to buying a house in Erko five years ago, the choice of dining options changed from local cafs & Japanese on the peninsula to sticking around the traps of the Inner West. Heading over to Darlinghurst or Surry Hills doesn’t happen as often as I’d like [...]

The Pie Tin – Newtown

20 May 2011 Bakery

If someone was to ask who had a penchant for pastry I’d whip my hand up so fast I’d come close to dislocating my shoulder. I love the stuff. I don’t give a toss how much butter or lard it contains, all that matters to me is the flavour and texture and the fact that it’s generally used as a vehicle [...]
