What to do on a rainy Tuesday night in the CBD. Sis and I decided to have a little adventure of our own, we started at Grasshopper in Temperance Lane. It's actually pretty easy to find, most blogs say it's not, but it's directly across the road from Dymocks and tucked away behind the lane way next to RM Williams. We love that Sydney is embracing the small bar culture, we need more of them. Grasshopper has a warm Melbourne-like atmosphere with a restaurant upstairs. We got there around 7pm and it was nicely packed, drinks menu is great as is the bar and restaurant menu definitely worth a visit....
Then after a drink we felt a bit peckish, so we headed to the old GPO www.gposydney.com to Sosumi Sushi Train, I still think their prawn tempura rolls with rolled egg are the best in Sydney CBD. The old GPO has so many dining/drinking options, it's the perfect place to get away from the rain and cold and just take it easy, enjoy your time - have a pizza, eat some sushi, have a cocktail, perhaps end with a cheese platter - it's all there.
Then to end the night, no other place is better than Pendolino Level 3 of the Strand Arcade www.pendolino.com.au . By the time we got there it was around 9pm so perfect time to have coffee and dessert. Sis enjoyed a Latte whilst I had the Moroccan Mint Tea which perfectly complimented our trio of fresh sorbet (Hazelnut, Passionfruit & White Peach) all with the surround sounds of new jazz, the strand arcade is amazing during the day, but watch it come to life at night.
