What's HOT when its COLD?!
Believe or not, Sydney is!
I’ve been checking in with
my favourite social publications and there is a LOT going on in Sydney this
month. The inspiration
this month comes from Vivid. The 3-week festival that officially marks the beginning of winter. A fun-filled mix of art, technology and commerce. Where creativity is showcased on stages, in seminars and on the street blending music, knowledge and light sculptures that are truly gob-smacking.
Every year Vivid lights up our city and
brings back a bustling atmosphere of crowds walking the streets, frequenting
bars and restaurants, street food, markets, busking, music and all things art.
Vivid gives way to a
hubbub of creative and exciting things to see and do. The only thing that is limited is the amount
of time you have to squeeze in as many things as possible …and maybe money.
A colleague commented that
it was like being in some of the large European cities where the atmosphere at night is much more
alive. Frankly, I have to agree with her.
As one would expect I have
taken the proverbial bull by the horns and have booked a few things
already. There will be rooftop bars, a
tall ship dinner cruise (which I’m super excited about, just quietly), Opera
House show (A O Lang Pho - A Vietnamese Circus!), 80’s themed dinner and drinks at 'Chin Chin', markets and plenty of street food in
between.
The first rooftop bar to
mention is ‘Bar Ombre’ on level 3 of Gateway, Circular Quay. It’s a pretty cool place, although it’s a
rooftop bar most of the tables are covered from the rain and the ceiling heaters keep it warm
and cosy. There are some funky little
pieces on the ceiling and a glowing garden that kept the Vivid vibes
alive. 
I didn’t find any beverage
here worth entering my wintry challenge so this weekend I’m still on the
lookout for the next contender.
Happy winter peeps …get
out and get moving!!
