Start spreading the news .... (although I am convinced you've all heard) ... NYC is going to be a top of the travel wishlist this year with the Australian release of New York, I Love You set for May 13, 2010 and Sex and the City 2 set for June 2, 2010.

Check out the article in The Age from April 11, 2010  "Our Coffee Boys Full of Beans in Brew York" Melbourne baristas showing New Yorkeans how to make a decent brew. Who would have thought that the simple latte was such a mystery to our frappuccino sipping cosmpolitian friends. Could it be that little old Melbourne is ahead of its western world time?

This week we are profiling our top 3 BYO restaurants in Melbourne and NYC. Going out for dinner, even to the local Italian, has become an expensive exercise these days so BYO restaurants are definitely a little friendlier on the pocket. It also means you can enjoy decent wine at bottleshop prices and not settle for pedestrian sav blancs at over inflated rates. Top 3 - Melbourne BYO  1. Matteo's

This week we are profiling our top 5 fave retail experiences in Melbourne and NYC using the following categories - homewares, fashion, shoes, deli and cake shop. 1. Homewares - NYC Sherman Antiques - NOT ikea, where I spent most of the weekend. Normally I’m quite partial to an Ikea venture but in NY its a ferry ride away in Brooklyn and Henry and I were sucked into the vortex that is Ikea for

Oh what fun Sunday is in the rain. I can't complain really as we have had such beautiful weather of late here in New York. Anything is an improvement on London. So what to do when it rains? Staying in with the New York Times, endless coffee and delicious food is always a good option. Even when it doesn't rain. Henry my 4 year old is a superb sous chef. But only if the recipe involves

Ok so last sunday was another Brooklyn adventure. We went to the Brooklyn flea market on a beautiful spring (we pretended) day. Sun shining and first weekend without gloves and a hat for what feels like months. Can I just say that milk truck grilled cheese at the Brooklyn flea is where its at. They are hands down the tastiest toasted cheese sandwiches i have ever tasted. Like ever. Might

What better way to kick things off than a Sunday Session! It does not matter what postcode/ city/country you live in there is nothing more disheartening than a non-eventful Sunday. It is the one day of the week that you hold on to with all paws and hope that it will slow down the inevitable arrival of Monday! So my Melbourne sunday vs. Bec's New York City sunday - bring it girlfriend! It was a
