Potts Point
There's an awful lot of amazing takeaway and delivery options available across the city right now. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed at the sheer amount of offerings inner city Sydney is pumping out! This is an exercise in morale boosting, employment of staff and engagement with the regulars of each small business in each precinct. There is often not a high profit margin in this service, it's really about the businesses staying connected with the community.
Every six months or so the kids at Dulcie’s create a new cocktail each. They then invite the Quaffing Club - regular bar flys and industry supporters of the bar - to meet and test the new flavours and give our expert option on whether we think the latest inventions pass muster. We are not at liberty to discuss the members or rules of the club, but let’s just say we all know our vermouth from our liqueur and leave it at that.
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.
Great to kick-off the new year with a booking - from one of our fave regulars - of Potts Point. Jennifer has come to three of our four Crafty Dining events and is a fierce advocate for The Sydney Connection.
We are thrilled to announce that we are now including hot new comer Ezra on our Potts Point dining walk route. So far the Baklava ice cream for the dessert course, accompanied by a stunning Gilbert late harvest Reisling, Orange NSW, has been a big hit with our local guests.
Check-out our menu and images from Thursday night's very enjoyable Crafty Dining Potts Point event as part of the opening week of Sydney Craft Week and Good Food Month. We’ll let the photos from the fabulous Julie Samerski do the talking.
Kings Cross Distillery is located at the intersection where the once mischievous glittering half mile of Darlinghurst Road, meet the increasingly glamorous Macleay Street of Potts Point. The stripped-back brick space was formerly a speakeasy and gambling den in the 1960s, before becoming an adult bookstore named Private Book Shop and later Ecstasy Adult Bookstore in the late 1970’s. Upstairs there was the usual, shadowy, pleasures of a by-gone era befitting of the postcode 2011.
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.
