Surry Hills

What makes Surry Hills so great? It's a melting pot of Sydney's best cultural clichés - ironic-bogans attend gallery openings with hipster coffee-brewers and art-wankers frequent cafes with boutique-tradies. It may sound pretentious, but Surry Hills is your carefully considered, well-styled friend who can be a little rough around the edges, but somehow oozes a cool that you'll always aspire to. Whether it's meeting with someone to discuss their screenplay at an alleyway coffee shop, or grabbing an artisanal whiskey at a hole-in-the-wall bar, Surry Hills is a place to spend a lazy weekend filling your Instagram with aesthetically pleasing shots to brag about. Plan all you want, but any local will tell you that Surry is best experienced with only a vague idea of where you’re headed - leaving yourself enough space to stumble across that new gallery, or that awesome pub on the corner. So roll up your chinos, and get stumbling.

Look, we all love bookshops, right? But the few that are left can be a bit… quaint. Anachronistic. Not Published Art, though. It’s like stepping into an alternate dimension where bookshops embraced modernity. It has a clean, open, minimalist aesthetic. It only ever has the latest titles in stock, rather than stockpiling old (and irrelevant) material. And it has a laser sharp focus on the types of books it specialises in – design, architecture, art, fashion, typography and photography. Essentially, it’s a design bookshop designed for designers by designers. You’re going to want to have your credit card handy.
