Does anyone know if there is a pedestrian access footpath on the observatory side of the harbour bridge or do you have to go from the rocks side?

weird question i know but i'm going to try and do the 10 bridge run this weekend and would love it if i diddn't have to run through the rocks.

The path on the observatory side is for cyclists only if my memory serves.

Hire out a sashimi bar. I don't know, but the idea of sashimi omakase and lots of Kirin has always appealed to me. Drinks and light food. Probably expensive as all hell, but I mean... for a 21st, if you're going to go with the whole bar-tab/function room option, I can't see why it'd cost you anymore than that.

^Did you catch the special on the shemagh on Hack (Triple J current affairs program)?

Anyways is it culturally significant to you? if its not just let those morons be, it'll die out soon like it did everywhere else

[jcotteri]

I remember walking past a store in the city. Somewhere on Pitt St. Either that or ask the SA's at Foot Locker or something. I'm sure they would know.

I can't imagine them being that hard to find.

Have to take a party of 15 people or so out for dinner Friday night. I don't have a strict budget, per se. But 70/head is fine. Flexible, really. But it's gotta be some place NICE. Great food, great views, that kinda thing. Sort of a group date. But not?

That and within walking distance of really cool bars.

Not Darling Harbour, too cliched. Doesn't matter if its out of the city neither.

Recommendations?

Firefly at Walsh Bay. Tapas and Wine bar. Cheap. Great veiw. 10 - 15 min walk to the Rocks.

http://www.fireflybar.com.au/

[homme.homme]

Corey, great minds think a like. I was going to recommend that very place. I had dinner at the wharf restaurant and saw a show at the theatre a few weeks ago- afterwards went to firefly for a drink. Location is great, not too busy, great view and nice menu and drink selection.

[nlim3482]

Boathouse in blackwattle bay (near glebe) is pretty swish http://www.boathouse.net.au/

Otherwise try Flying Fish in Pyrmont. Haven't been but I've heard good things about the place

[superslim_zac]

I really like the Wharf as well. Excellent view and ambiance, great service. The modern Australian cuisine is simple but fresh.

If I ever roll some coin, I'd like to live on the pier.

[nufish]

does anyone know how undercoverism size runs??? im confused about their sizes... is size 4 a large/52 or something else?

[homme.homme]

a size 4 should be a large but i dont know if their large would equate to a 52 - no idea.

anyone know where to get cheap leather chucks in syd? or online for that matter? need some beaters.

[Air Max]

Hey I know this has been discussed before but for the life of me I can't find it in the thread: Does anyone know where to get some AA style plain Tee's? I can't seem to find slim fit plain colours. Does Cotton On carry slim Tee's?

Mmm, and also as a side note anyone have any Chinese or Indian restaurants (or any type of restaurant really) they would really recommend, a friend of mine and I are trying to hit a decent restaurant every week while we're in Sydney and eatability is giving some very misleading reviews. I'm looking for like a sit down, BYO place that'll run like 25 dollars.

[kpnv]

LOWES iz gud 4 slim Ts.

Delete me.

try their online store, I'd forget about trying to find decent quality at lowes.

just google american apparel.

[gobbledock]

Has the AA store on Oxford Street opened yet? They've had signs up there for months.

[styleofmind]

Aren't AA [American Apparel] tees available at Incu? And Footage?

A friend just bought a few from them last week. Incu, that is.

[corey]

AA on Oxford will open in about two months.

You can get AA at Footage, Incu, Maple, and apparently David Jones.

Now that someone mentions it, what's the general opinion on a store like Glue. Yay? Nay? Not worthy of rating? Awesome stuff?

Just always been curious. I've never actually walked into a Glue store [i'm one of those shoppers that knows exactly what I want and where to get it, minimizing time wastage] and yeah... Just wanted your thoughts on it.

For example, most people I know have bitched about how everyone shops at General Pants and ends up wearing the same shit and how everything there's generic etc.

But let's face it, at one point time or another, we've all bought something from there right? Personally I'd be very surprised if no one ever has, but maybe it's just me. ;P.

Anyway, so... your thoughts!

Thanks a bunch fellas.
