White Rabbit Gallery


Sydney LONG TRIP


VISITORS TO THE Harbour City tend to cluster around…well, the harbor—and for good reason. If there is a better vista on earth than that Insta-baiting combination of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House, we’ve yet to see it. But there is more to Australia’s biggest city. Chippendale, with its street art and


forward-thinking chefs, might be the ’hood that best defines Sydney as the locals know it. You’ll want to hit White Rabbit Gallery (30 Balfour St; +61-2-8399-2867, whiterabbitcollection.org), a free four-story temple to modern Chinese art, where you can expect politically charged works and excellent dumpling action in the ground-floor café. Then feast on a wild selection of smoked sausages at LP’s Quality Meats (16 Chippen St, suite 1; +61-2-8399-0929, lpsqualitymeats .com), where a Southern Pride smoker, imported from Tennessee, takes pride of place in the kitchen. If “Chippo” has you craving more hipster-


friendly eats and activities, shift west to Newtown. Grab a beer at Young Henrys (D&E/76 Wilford St; +61-2-9519-0048, younghenrys.com); the super-casual taproom


is a bit hard to find but worth it for hoppy IPAs. Then make your way down King Street, dotted with shops like the labyrinthine Gould’s Book Arcade (32 King St; +61-2-9519-8947). While Bondi Beach may be well-trodden


tourist territory, you can go without getting caught in the traps. The coastal walk to Coogee Beach is a must, as is a cocktail at Icebergs Dining Room and Bar (1 Notts Ave; +61-2-9365-9000, idrb.com). Dig deeper into the back streets for gems like Da Orazio Pizza + Porchetta (75–79 Hall St;


+61-2-8090-6969, daorazio.com), where the roast-pork sandwich may have you inquiring about citizenship. That’s just scratching the surface. You


won’t want to miss areas like Potts Point for upscale eats or Cabramatta for authentic Asian treats. And given that you’ve traveled all this way, you won’t want to miss the rest of Australia’s East Coast, either. Check out Melbourne in the south and the Great Barrier Reef to the north; the latter is just a three- hour flight from Sydney. ■ Joel Meares


Austin SHORT TRIP


TWO DAYS IN the Texas capital is just enough time to take in some of the best food, music and sights this Southern city has to offer. Upon arriving, you’ll need


some sustenance, so find your way to Micklethwait Craft Meats (1309 Rosewood Ave; 512-791- 5961, craftmeatsaustin.com) in East Austin, a burgeoning arts district complete with food-truck parks. The trailer serves up slow- cooked brisket and ribs without the long waits of other area BBQ joints (we’re lookin’ at you, Franklin Barbecue). Now it’s time for live music.


Even if you’re not here during SXSW or Austin City Limits, you have options. Head to the nightclub-heavy Red River Cultural District, and visit the Mohawk (912 Red


Waterloo Records


Contemporary Austin


River St; 512-666-0877, mohawkaustin.com) for indie rock in a multitiered, indoor/ outdoor venue.


Find time for a bit of culture, and take in modern masterpieces at downtown museum the Contemporary Austin (700


Congress Ave; 512-453-5312, thecontemporaryaustin.org), or browse the vinyl and CDs at Waterloo Records (600A N Lamar Blvd; 512-474-2500, waterloorecords.com). Before you leave, sample


the mega tap list at Craft Pride 63


(61 Rainey St; 512-428-5571, craftprideaustin.com), and sit on the patio with some Texas-only brews. A few sips of great golden stuff from breweries like Blue Owl and Austin Beerworks, and you may find yourself scheduling a return visit soon. ■ ZL
