Best coffee!

I know everybody talks about where to get the best coffee in Sydney, in Australia,  and everywhere but I think I have the answer: Cornersmith in Marrickville,  near the train station.

I didn't use to drink coffee at all, just sometimes and usually for social reasons, until I had a large flat white at Cornersmith!  Since then I can't stop it! Delicious coffee and smoothies, prices are fine, really good organic food produced locally and the service is great. It is the nice cafe around the corner where you feel welcome.

10 out of 10!

Happy days

Last Sunday I was at home channel surfing and for the first time I watched Graham Norton Show, and this is the great surprise that I came across: Watch "Will Smith Reunites With DJ Jazzy Jeff, Alfonso Ribeiro on 'Graham Norton Show" on YouTube

For anybody that is around my age (30-ish) The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is an icon of our childhood... Good times.

Hope you have a nice smile on your face while you are watching it, as I did!

Bloodwood in Newtown

To celebrate my partner's birthday I invited him to have dinner in Bloodwood, a place that I friend of mine recomended saying they have good cocktails. In order to discover new areas and places, I searched online for people's reviews about this place and they were all good.

We had a great dinner, excellent service, the food delicious and good prices. I totally recomend this restaurant! It's modern Australian cusine served like tapas, great to share.  

I loved the polenta chips, braised lamb nuggets with pistachio crumb, socca, and the chocolate-caramel-peanut torte with banana mousse. Sadly I was the designated driver that night so I need to go to try some of their famous cocktails.

Like in the TV show Master Chef , I score them 10 out of 10!

Vivid Sydney 2013

Last night we went to enjoy the Vivid Festival, also known as the festival of lights. It was a rainy day but that wasn't enough reason to stop people to go and walk around Circular Quay & The Rocks enjoying it all.
These festivals are great free opportunities to get to know the city a bit more while... Sydney is a beautiful city!
