Sydney's Hottest

The joke on this trip is that I'm like Stefon from SNL's Weekend Update with endless tips on Sydney's hottest spots.  It started with my over-selling of restaurants when we arrived: harborside for fireworks, Duke's to impress clients, beach brunch at Bondi, you get the idea.  With only the best intentions, I've managed to channel Stefon as club promoter, complete with excited (and awkward) hand gestures.  Below, a guide to Sydney's HOTTEST and all their unique selling points.

Duke Bistro: Sydney's hottest pancake party is Duke. Buttered radishes, test tube mushrooms and drug addict models.  

Ripples: Nibbles at ripples can’t be matched.  Say that five times fast.

Bondi Trattoria: If you’re looking for hot surfers and even hotter moms, the trat is where it’s at.

Zushi: Sydney's hottest gay sushi is Zushi.

Macchiato: Sydney’s hottest figs are at Macchiato.

Bambini: Meat butter.

Cruise Bar: Sydney’s most popular bar on Circular Quay that connects to the cruise ship terminal has red bull sangria and tank tops worn as dresses.

Toko: Sydney’s hottest scene is Toko with backless chairs, bottomless martinis and Brit cricketers.

Bather’s Pavilion: Sydney’s hottest non-alcoholic beach scene.

Toro: Disco. Ball. Sangria by the litre.  Don’t look further than Toro.  Sydney’s hottest tapas.

7-11: Sydney's hottest, sold-out lemon-lime-and-bitters slurpee.

Jimmy Liks: Sydney's hottest chili sauce.  Literally.

Zeta: If you’re in the mood for rose-infused foam, peach beer, and questionable pinot, Zeta has you covered.

Marble Bar: Sydney’s hottest (and only) bar made of marble.

Pitt Street: If you can’t get enough secondhand smoke, B.O. or 90º heat at midnight, Pitt Street pavement is where you want to be.
