Sydney's Arty Danks Street
Waterloo is a little off the beaten track and only a stones throw from the "Projects" -- one of Sydney's most infamous housing commission buildings. Danks Street is almost a world apart from the surrounding areas, and its lively atmosphere makes a great place to kick off a carefree weekend. The strip has a distinct village feel, with plenty of options for eats, shopping, and galleries. Within a few hundred meters, you can sample some of Sydney's best lunch menus, modern art, and designs. Jump on the 302 from the city (25 minutes one way), and you're there.

Some New York residents and visitors prefer to get further off the beaten track than others. If you're one of them, this map is for you. So, gather up all of your adventurous urban spelunking counterparts, pack up the flashlights, lace up our boots, and go exploring. (Beforehand, you also might want to get those tetanus shots and of course a good lawyer... especially if your going to be doing some trespassing.) After all, it's mind blowing that in a city this expensive there is still unclaimed space.
The beer garden is loved by almost every culture, race, and creed on this planet. Whilst the odd teetotaler might shun its glory, the rest of humanity understands the joy that comes from sitting out in the sun and quenching one's thirst with some amber gold or a cheeky pinot grigio or two. If ever there was a city purpose built for the beer garden, it has to be Sydney with its combination of gloriously sunny days, beautiful vistas, and a population with a reputation for drunkenness that stretches back to the dawn of time.
Think you have to spend a fortune to eat like a gourmet in Paris? Think again. The hottest buzzword here is "bistronomy." After classic training at some of the city's most prestigious establishments, a number of young chefs have struck out on their own with modest daily market menus made from fresh, hand-chosen produce. Fed up with the Michelin star rat race, they have sparked what some have termed the most influential culinary trend in a decade. Here's a selection of addresses that insider Parisians already know (and a couple of well-established tables that deserve a mention).
Ah, the problematic lobster roll. Mayo or butter? Lettuce or celery? Hot dog bun or brioche? Tarragon??? Debates surrounding the tasty crustacean can be fierce in New York, but there is one point of agreement amidst all the back-and-forth opinions: Lobster rolls are delectable and heavenly, and worth the ambiguous "market price." Fortuitously, I broadened my seafood-eating horizons around the same time I first visited Maine, and I happened to be residing near the famed

Welcome to Barnsville, Berlin! That's a pretty straight translation for the name of this neighborhood which now forms a central part of Mitte. Back in the good old days of timber-framed buildings and laughable firefighting techniques, all combustible hay and straw had to be stored outside the city limits, so where Starbucks now sits, there used to be only fields and farm buildings. Luckily there are more exciting things than arable crops to buy in the Scheuenviertel nowadays, and the city's abysmal economy means that this prime retail space hasn't been totally swallowed up by international chain stores, so the shopping is eclectic. There's something here for every budget, from pocket change to euro millionaires.
As we've told you before, Paris is a film lover's paradise, and so it's perhaps appropriate that some of the greatest moments in cinematic history have been shot here. So, in honor of the city's ripe filmic past, let us take a moment to offer a Paris-based homage to the cinema. What follows is a brief tour of memorable movie locations around town, so you can faire ton propre cinéma...
