As a Melbournian liking Sydney seems a little odd, but I do.
I really really do. I especially like the parts of Sydney that feel quite a bit
like Melbourne and so you can only imagine how thrilled I was to spend some
summer days in Sydney doing some very Melbourne things, with Max who is a very okay
dude.
Like in Melbourne, staying in Sydney can be drastically
different depending of where you are, lucky for me though my dad has a little
weekday flat in the cool western suburb of Marrickville. It feels young, lots
of share houses and a bunch of cafés (all closed because of the date) tiny shops and a lot of Vietnamese
restaurants which I can really get behind. And his flat is just adorable – high
ceilings, crown molding etc. Loved it.
We also visited an amazing deli and picked up some ‘impress
the parents’ cheese on our way out and I was just in heaven. Good coffee and
cheese? I’m sold.
Quite close to Marrickville is Newtown, a slightly more up market
suburb with a hipster reputation and it held all the gems we could have wished
for. We had brunch after noon, we tried on the new Gorman hats, we looked in
some book shops and whilst hunting for some records in a small record store we
got a call from some Melbourne friends and we all caught up for a beer.
Enjoying Sydney in the best possible way.
5/5 CHEESES
