As part of it's '36 Hours in...' travel series, The New York Times finally got around to profiling a great weekend in Sydney. And as usual, Sydney does things bigger and grander than most other cities, and got a full 60-ish hours, instead of the usual fleeting Friday to Sunday morning.
And as with all their politics and arts writing, I pretty much agree with everything the NYTimes says - as their recommendations go for the slightly more obscure and cultural over the tourist cliche, including: my favourite microbrew pub The Lord Nelson in the Rocks, The Manly Ferry, The Sydney Theatre Company, Hannah's Pies (who supply Harry's Cafe De Wheels), Surry Hills, Spice I Am (shhhhhh!), and of course the expensive things for cashed up Americans like Bridge Climb, Cafe Sydney and Rockpool.
Make it Kirribilli Markets instead of the Rocks markets and maybe a Belvoir play over an STC, and a drink at Opera Bar, and you've pretty much got the ultimate Sydney weekend.
