She Runs
So, a group of us did the Color Run a few weeks back and had an awesome time throwing and rolling around in paint dust, and now we’ve signed up to do an all women’s night run. What started in May 2012 as the first ever all-female night run in Australia, has been shortened to 10km in Centennial Park, and is now on a Saturday night. That means that we’re going to...

New Year’s Eve Baby
So, it’s that time of year again. You’re trying to please each group of your friends. You haven’t actually committed to buying a ticket to anything.

Whisper
I hear there’s tarot readings, Deck DJ sessions and a blunch menu.

I’ll be heading there soon to check out small bar... Read More
Izakaya Fujiyama
There has been a lot of hype and talk about chef Kenji Maenaka’s Izakaya Fujiyama, a new Japanese joint.

Everyone’s talking about the $5 tacos at Surry Hill’s revitalised Excelsior Hotel.

The Rocks Pop Up: The Red Room
At The Red Room Company, as part of The Rocks Pop Up: Beneath busy George Street, convict hewn sandstone blocks stand guard over the kind of mysterious labyrinthine space where you wish the walls could talk. In 2011, its tales turn poetic as The Red Room Company reinvent the basement as an Australian poetry clubhouse with live events, exhibitions, intimate readings, unplugged music,... Read More
