The Sydney Connection turned 8 last week. Woo hoo!
And to celebrate we bought a piece of art for the home office My Poster Sucks which is coming all the way from Turin Italy! We first discovered their work Rootstock Sydney and bought a Sophia Loren piece featuring champagne. So now Obama joins the family.
Last week we shot the first part of our new promo video with the fabulous guys from JJ Splice Digital at Surry Hills and Darlinghurst venues: Brix Distillers, Loluk Bistro and Tilly May’s. Two of our cast members are also fantastic photographers so we were very lucky to get some great behind the scene shots whilst on the shoot. We are shooting the second part this week so should have a finished product to show off very soon.
Next week it is a certain Chief Guides birthday! And she has an idea to help promote her favourite small bars and restaurants new home delivery and take out services: she is asking all her online guests to order their celebratory cocktails and accompanying foods from these venues. Guest will also be able to buy the birthday girl a drink!
Seven years ago when we first started The Sydney Connection as a day tour business of food, fashion and design, we received the support of a few key restaurants & bars. One of those early supporters were the owner operators of Bar H: Hamish Ingham (Head Chef), his wife Rebecca Lines (Sommelier) of Bar H in Surry Hills.
Like everyone else we have been caught out by CV19 in terms of where we shop for our weekly fruit & vege. Normally you would find us at Kings Cross markets on a sunny Saturday morning stocking-up from Rita's Farm (who are also offering an online service that we will be trying out), but now that markets are no longer operating we have turned to online ordering of our weekly shop.
We are sure you are growing tired of posts about CV19, but we wanted to let you know where The Sydney Connection stands in regards to what has happened over the past two weeks across the planet. We have now gone into booking hibernation for April and May 2020. We have our online booking calendar open from June 2020 onward and we do expect this to change according to the information we are receiving daily, on the spreading of the virus.
Today we start our series "Support Local" in response to the current CV19 situation. Over the next 14 days we will publish a beautiful image from each of the small bars & restaurants who host us so graciously on our inner city dining walks.
Serendipity happened accidentally in a little kitchen in Paddington, in 1966. Alix Mandelson was not satisfied that the most exotic ice cream available was Neapolitan. Being allergic to chocolate it left the pink stripe and the white stripe – neither of which contained the real ingredients she was craving. So she set to work creating her own ice cream from fresh cream and eggs and other fresh ingredients that we all love in our ice cream.
