Alphabafitti as cryptic star signs
We’ve had a few leads on ‘alphabafitti,’ as Kym Chapple calls it, appearing about town.
But there’s something about this one, on Roslyn Street, Kings Cross, that makes me wonder – copycat or the real? So I went back to the source, and it’s no copycat.
I like running through some of the recent this is for that hits, W is for “Weather Girl” is a particular favourite.
No no no! Don’t say it’s over!
We hope that the latest “R is for” is not spelling the end of our much-loved chalk alphabet riddle.
Spotted by Rachel a couple of days ago, on Roslyn St, down near St Luke’s Hospital was this.
Deep breath.
It’s all okay. “R” is followed by “S” and “T”.
Would you care to see the menu?
A quick update on Blanco’s progress.
The menu is up for show at the entrance.
The space looks ready to go.
But will Baron’s be resurrected?
Gaudi comes to town
I’ve been watching this building’s development for some time now. It’s on Roslyn Street in Kings Cross.
It is no accident it looks like a tribute to Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi. It is, the building is even called ‘Barcelona’.
According to today’s Sydney Morning Herald’s Good Living section, a new restaurant and bar, Blanco, is all set to open in the building.
A is for alphabetically adventurous graffiti
We’ve been noticing this graffiti all over town.
Here’s the latest, scribbled on the wall of St Canice’s catholic church on Roslyn Gardens, near the corner of Roslyn Street.
UPDATE: Thanks to @alliejt’s keen eye, we’ve got another clue.
So now we’ve had:
A is for “azimuth”
C is for “cephlapod”
K is for “kibosh”
M is for “modulate”
N is for “nebulous”
Z is for “zipper”
Is it a riddle?
Cafe 9 and the coffee is fine
Cafe 9, sorry, No. 9, at 9 Ward Av, Potts Point/Kings Cross opened its doors a couple of weeks ago.
Already, I can’t remember what used to occupy the spot, just up from the corner at Roslyn Street.
It is tiny inside but makes excellent use of the space with a mezzanine level.
It is intimate and feels like you are in someone’s fancy sitting room, with elaborately framed landscape and portrait artworks, a fire, a chandelier, an antique clock.
We just stopped in for (Genovese) coffee.
But I do like the look of the simple breakfast menu.
