Mon Petit Chou Boutique is an established ladies fashion boutique, who recently made the move further up Macleay Street to a new and bigger location opposite the famous landmark the El Alamein Fountain. Owner/operator Robyn Mann sources most of her brands on regular trips to Europe, specialising in designer clothing.
Purveyors of fresh, made-to-order sandwiches as well as hearty salads, homely sweets and delicious coffee. Small’s Deli have a passion for quality ingredients and try to keep things as local and sustainable as possible. Designer Emily Van Loon and chef Ben Shemesh (ex-Dear Sainte Eloise) were on a summer holiday in Bologna, Italy, when they first came up with the idea of running their own sandwich shop.
Last week we shot the first part of our new promo video with the fabulous guys from JJ Splice Digital at Surry Hills and Darlinghurst venues: Brix Distillers, Loluk Bistro and Tilly May’s. Two of our cast members are also fantastic photographers so we were very lucky to get some great behind the scene shots whilst on the shoot. We are shooting the second part this week so should have a finished product to show off very soon.
Meet the newest addition to our Darlinghurst Dining Walk.
We first discovered Bon Vin in a hidden laneway of East Sydney totally by accident, whilst out on the town in Darlo with friends one winters night. On a brisk Sydney evening the idea of descending into a subterranean cellar was very appealing, when the lovely waiter standing outside, invited us inside.
Our second stop for Crafty Dining in East Sydney was the very contemporary Stylecraft, stockists of 70% Australian designed & made furniture and homeware. We indulged in delicious mushroom arancini from Toki Italian Inspired located just around the corner on Crown Street.
Our final stop was at Skarfe in the back streets of Potts Point. Brad dressed our ladies in silk & cotton and the room soon turned into a whirling bazaar of colour and sound as everyone tried out the merchandise. There was more excitement as the Kakawa Chocolates Sydney were opened and consumed on the spot.
Brown Paper Wine is the creation of Richard Powell, his mates call him all sorts of names: Richie, Dick, and many more colourful monikers. We first met when he supplied wines for a Surry Hills Creative Precinct function we attended a year ago. His passion and joy in introducing people to good wine was evident from the moment he poured us a glass.
We have always wanted to do an event with Skarfe since we stumbled across the tiny, colourful store in it’s original location on Roslyn Terrace. Owner Brad McGlashan - a fellow New Zealander - kicked off his business in the same year as The Sydney Connection began so we always had plenty to talk about on our instore visits.
