Inner city office workers unite! No longer must you spend your obligatory Friday team lunch within the confines of a dimly-lit pub. Finally, there is sunshine and fresh air, and finally, there is fine food, cheese and wine tasting (from the bottle not the cask).
The Hawkesbury Harvest Market brings a fete-like atmosphere to the city's doorstep every Friday for four hours.

Above the Hopetoun Hotel, Rider serves out Mexican fare from an old English kitchen.
Around Bondi, unless you’re eating a fuzzy salad or soft serve cone, it’s hard to find a feed for a flat tenner. So you can imagine (and possibly feel) our joy at the emergence of a no frills restaurant in what was one a semi-posh eatery.
Apart from paper tablecloths (which you can now draw on with rainbow crayons) the décor from the space's exy days is largely unchanged.
A few months ago, I was talking to a friend who had just gone through a breakup after a long relationship. She turned to me and said, with a completely serious look on her face, that a good dessert is better than sex. At the time I thought that she'd found her sweet tooth a step up from a bad lay, but then I discovered Pat and Stick's Ice Cream Sandwiches.
