http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29947 Guzman is a small chain of Mexican burrito bars. Get the mini veggie burrito and a frozen margherita for $14 before a night out ...
Sabbaba is similar, but a falafel joint. One also in Newtown, city end of King St, one at Bondi. Good falafel pitta pockets, again very reasonably priced. Don't bother with Sabbaba's frozen cocktails though, Guzman's are far better!
While I'm on about good food and cocktails in Newtown, there's a tapas bar called Soni's, five minutes toward the city from the station, which does good tapas and margheritas. Upstairs is Madame Fling Flongs which I have yet to visit but apparently does good cocktails in a slightly kitsch seting.
Happy Eating!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29947 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25663 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25663 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25662 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25662 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25301
It's set back from Pitt Street in a small arcade. You'll recognise it by the huge queue out of the door and down the street. The sandwiches are huge - more than enough to keep you going for an entire day. The lemon chicken comes very highly recommended. We only found out about it from a friend who lives in Sydney. It seems that everyone that goes is a regular and is greeted by name on arrival. If I'm in Sydney again and hungry at lunchtime, I'll be back...

The only downside - just a couple of seats in the window. Best to take your haul elsewhere to munch.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25301 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24876
Musicians, streetwalkers, dancers, policemen and taxi drivers can be seen late at night devouring meat pies and hot dogs alongside judges, politicians and society's well-to-do.

Just a few wobbly steps downhill from the watering holes of Kings Cross, Harry’s is the place to get your post pub grub and to sample the personality of Sydney .

More than a pie cart, Harry’s is a unique piece of Sydney ’s history and the stuff of legend and myth.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24876 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21689 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21689 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21149
It's not open that late, however only until about 11pm.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21149 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20549
The menu for the rest of the day is pretty good too, but in Bondi breaky is king - after a swim and before a trip to the Sunday markets.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20549 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20516 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20516 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20442 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20442 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20437 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20437 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19898 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19898 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19897 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19897 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19894 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19894 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17586
My husband - a meat eater - tells everyone he meets about the steak that he had there, whilst I - a non meat eater - can say that the meal I had there was the most generous and varied vegetarian meal I have ever tasted.

It consisted of every type of vegetable imaginable, fresh and beautifully cooked. Add to this, the fantastic view overlooking Manly Beach and the ocean and the buzzing atmosphere; yes, I would definitely cross the world to eat there again!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17586 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17529 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17529 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13309
One of the enduring images and impressions I have of that very warm February evening, was to see the sun set over the harbour looking towards the city far away in the background.

The sun was sinking fast behind the skyscrapers - it was an amazing sight, and at that moment I had the urge to call home. I took the mobile out of my pocket, and rang to speak to my mum and brother. It was early in the morning in the UK (11 hours behind Sydney at that time of year) and I said to them, "Has the sun come up over there yet?". They replied: "Yes, just about. Why?"

My response was: "I just realised this is about the only time of the day we can see the sun at the same time from opposite sides of the world."]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13309 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13079 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13079 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11602 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11602 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11236
There are two really good places to eat. One is called Sushi King - it is on George Street and it does the best sushi in the world. The other is the Lindt Cafe on Martin Place - it is really good and they do this great hot chocolate (you get this jug with hot milk in and a jug with melted chocolate in and you pour them in the mug at the same time the result is an amazing rich lovely cup of hot chocolate).

Of course I also reccommend the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House (my dad conducts there.)]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11236
