Preceding perhaps the biggest, and certainly the most iconic breakfast of my life on Sydney Harbour Bridge with a full day swanning around the tents at The Australian Beer Festival might not have been my wisest move. But I should get full marks for forward planning – swallowing two aspirin and umpteen gulps of water before crashing is one of my favourite tricks. Plus I was determined as it’s not often you get your mitts on a ticket to make history, and a free one at that. Lord knows I was actually among the 190,000 people who registered for tickets for Sydney’s first ever Breakfast on the Bridge and were disappointed, until my boyfriend found out he was among the favoured few (well 6,000 is a few in the light of the unlucky 190,000 – right?). And so it was that we had five tickets to Breakfast on the Bridge and we were not, even on the dirtiest of hangovers, going to waste them!
So a grasshopper walks into a bar and the bartender says “Hey we’ve got a drink named after you!” and the grasshopper replies “Really? You’ve got a drink named Steve?”

Well Sydneysiders I hope you’re ready to step up your exercise regime because you just may need it this October! The Sydney International Food Festival takes over town as part of Crave Sydney and the feast on offer is sure to satisfy our insatiable hunger for good food. The festival sees the return of old favourites like the Night Noodle Markets and Hats off Dinners and newbies like the World Chef Showcase and an exploration into Slow Food with founder Carlo Petrini. So … are you hungry?
The Sydney Chamber of Commerce recently released results from their annual survey Sydney’s Favourite Things. Below are some of the winners as voted by Sydneysiders – do you agree? What’s your favourite thing in Sydney?
Crave Sydney has just launched its website for the bumper festival set to hit our city this October. With events including the Darling Harbour Fiesta, the Sydney International Food Festival, Seven Bridges Walk and Art & About, it’s sure to have the city buzzing. With a few opportunities to experience Sydney like never before, personally I’m looking forward to these events: Read the rest of this entry »
The Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival (RSFF) struts through the city this week with a busy schedule of events to tug at the purse strings of Sydneysiders. It’s probably no coincidence that the festival is held the week after half the city’s monthly payday but I’m more than grateful that it is!
