Sydney Cultural Weekly Top 10 01/07/18

A week of deference; a week of decadence. Find your centre. Then cram it full of wine and mini hotdogs.

 

10) Addison Road Street Food Markets

7th July

Spent one too many introspective moments staring down the barrel of a Heinz big and chunky? Kerb that hollow gravy-scented depression with a Street Market under the stars. In the velvety cloak of the night you won’t even be aware of the combination of fear and laziness that prevents you from actually travelling to other countries.

4) Truffle Dinner

5th July

A night of decadent fungus. No, this isn’t your rich aunt’s wake. This is a carefully curated six-course love affair with the truffle. Ditching the curly wurly for the lindt doesn’t seem all that classy now, does it, slugger?

3) Sounds on the Terrace: Vast Hill

4th July

Don the silken scarf and sashay on down to the Museum of Contemporary Art for an exhibition you’ll be able to instagram the hell out of. Relax with the night to the electric synth sounds of Vast Hill on the sculpture terrace. Make sure you hit the low light just right so you capture your best expression of slavish adherence to the nouveau art scene.

Raise a glass to the best bits of the good ol’ US of A before they, too, are engulfed in the seemingly unstoppable tidal wave of pure, stupid horror.
