As I go hopping off into the sunset, figured this list is inevitable. It goes without saying that I'll miss all the cool friends and interesting strangers, of course. However, these are things that don't really exist outside of the Harbour City.
Late Day Tamarama - cool cove beach, cooler when less people are there
Turkish Delight - angry owner, happy kebabs
NRL Fridays - those announcers get riled up when the guy is still 10 metres out. With the aforementioned Turkish Delight, it makes for good viewing.
333 bus - lightning quick, air conditioned, looks like an accordian and there's a fun circle ride in the middle when it turns
Mojos - tapas and sangria...bueno y delicioso
Dominoes Tuesdays - if you can get takeout for under $6 in this town, that's a DEAL
Sticky date pudding - this stuff is like crack on the dessert menu; we once went out of our way to order this takeaway from a sit-down restaurant
Spit to Manly - amazing views of the city, just as good kangaroo burger at the end.
Green/blue ocean water - it makes Oz look like some tropical South Pacific island. Oh wait, it is
Sport celebrations - these guys don't dance around like idiots when they score a try
Mom and pop shops - Wal Mart America hasn't taken hold of this place yet, which is refreshing.
Vaucluse - big houses and even bigger views of the city. Closest thing you'll get to a sunset in Sydney
Daily Telegraph - it's like the Daily News, except bigger and doesn't have the Yankees on the cover.
Coopers - the Sierra Nevada/Fat Tire of Oz, pale ale that you roll before opening.
Grand Finals - not as big as the Super Bowl, but the footy finals are near my bday and a sign that summer is around the corner.
