    L’etoile, Paddington

    L’etoile is well known as the little French bistro in Paddington run by Manu Feildel, celebrity chef and foodie pin-up-boy for many female diners in Sydney. Was he there on the Thursday night Grumpy Girrl and I dined? No. On holiday. Sad…no. The thought of Grumpy Girrl going all goggley for him wasn’t in my [...]

  • Berta, Surry Hills

    Berta, Surry Hills

    Sneaky lane-way restaurants, unassuming doors and secret pin codes to enter…no we’re not in Melbourne. Sydney is changing. The eastern suburbs is home to the likes of Sticky Bar, LL Wine & Dine, Grasshopper and now Berta, the much-anticipated little sister of Italian trattoria Vini in Surry Hills. Half the fun is finding this place, [...]

    Breakfast with the girls is a bit of an institution round these parts.  That weekend mid morning catch-up on our collective debauchery is a highlight of the week. The venue is an all-important choice.  Required to cater for varying levels of hangover/health kick and serve with minimum stress or distraction so that the tales of dating, careers [...]

    Bunker Down This Winter

    Just up from the Green Park on Liverpool St is The Bunker,  I recently went there for breakfast with Wonder Boy. Coffee quality can be the make or break for a successful breakfast experience. I enjoyed my soy cap, WB is a bit fussier with his long black and was a little disappointed. We both [...]

    Crafternoon at Pocket Bar

    I have a phobia. It’s strange, it’s embarrassing and it’s legit… I am afraid of wet wool. Just ask the EX-boyfriend who surprised me with a wooly jumper and glass of water one morning. So you can imagine my trepidation when I sat down at Pocket Bar on Sunday for a casual cheese and wine [...]

    Radom Shoes In Darlinghurst?

    The Mystery Accessories  Wall Some time ago I posted a picture of a random pair of shoes I found sitting on a wall in Darlinghurst. A month later, there was another pair of shoes sitting on the wall in the exact same place. I took another photo and posted it. Another month later i was [...]

Taste Orange @ Bondi

“Oh my god there is a petting zoo outside, so cute!”  Squealed one of my friends as we arrived at Taste Orange at Bondi Pavilion last Sunday. Yep, going to a festival is a slightly different experience than days gone by nowadays – although it didn’t mean I wasn’t any less excited about heading to [...]

Girls Trip To Orange

I know Ms Darlinghurst rarely leaves the east-side bubble so when I told her I was heading to Orange for a girls weekend away I wasn’t surprised she asked me to share tales of the outside world on Eat Drink Play. Now I know upon initial thoughts Orange isn’t the usual place people think of [...]

Jelly Bean Bikes

Ok time for a grumble about the cool things that Melbourne has that Sydney doesn’t. Namely flat inner city roads, with no hills perfect for riding fixed gear bikes! Sure, it’s not enough to make Ms Darlinghurst leave her beloved Sydney but hell you try riding a BMX up Liverpool St from The East Village [...]

Omerta, Darlinghurst

Living in the heart of Darlinghurst is dangerous. It’s a tough life full of unexpected twists and turns. One minute you’re walking down Victoria Street with your old friend looking for a quiet place to chat and maybe grab a coffee. The next you’re sitting at a table with crisp white linen, a full glass [...]

Goon Bag Bed

I walked past a church in Elizabeth Bay where the homeless often sleep and found this recently. What an amazing construction! How many good bags did they need to drink to build this ‘bed’? I’m categorising this post under ‘Art’

16 Cool Bikes Around Town

Walking around the streets of Sydney’s east I’m surrounded by cool bikes. About a month ago I started taking photo’s and kept a log of where I found them. Here are some of my favourites.
