So, while she writhed and poured forth proclamations of love for the cocktail artist behind the concoction, we got stuck into some food and wine.
Save the reddened sign, this diner sits innocuously mid-block on Oxford Street, its metal cladding and venetian blinds shielding it from the bustle.

The pre-show supper. Although you may not think that Stanley Street needs another Japanese place, Samurai is king. Amazing fish gyoza, a hearty seafood hot pot and an exceptional birthday surprise are all on the menu for reasonable prices. And the staff are adorable!

Ah, Sydney. Land of the long lunch.
With such amazing weather, breath-taking scenery, and delicious food, it's no wonder Sydneysiders go ape-shit for al fresco dining. In the middle of Sydney Harbour sits Fort Denison Café - possibly the best spot to share a few bottles with friends.

-Complimentary plates of fluro coloured pickles.
-Faux marble and gold cornices and glorious murals of the coast of Lebanon.
-Tabouleh of mint and tomatoes so fresh they are growing off the plate.
-Hummus mushed moments ago from the creamiest of chic peas.
-Moist, tasty falafels of the most rare and excellent falafel stuff.
