Today was no exception. I met a couple of friends for a casual lunch at the recently opened Madam Char Char, in Crown Street, Surry Hills - chicken and salads with an exotic edge. Good prices, but the three supposedly different salads, served with a quarter chicken, were a little too crunchy and all tasted the same to me. The chicken was also a little chewy.
En route to the cafe I walked past the Imperial Hotel on Oxford Street, Paddington. It's in the process of a total make-over to celebrate 100 years since it opened. Once it re-opens the roof top terrace with harbour views is sure to become a 'hot' spot with the locals.

Another old building that caught my eye was this little gem in Hay Street, Haymarket, near the light rail stop.
Nearby, the fruit and vegetable market at Market City is always a buzzy place to visit.
It's a while since I've been to Glebe so was pleased to be invited to a friend's book launch at Glebe Books. Ani Lin by Pip Griffin is the smolderingly beautiful story of a Tibetan Nun. It's written in a form that captures the heart and mind; an ideal gift. Also noted that Glebe is loosing its grunge and taking on a more sophisticated look.
