Time Out Sydney magazine this month

You can’t move in this city for food festivals – noodle stalls and exotic markets and exciting deals at some of our top restaurants. That’s all good, but we think it’s about time Drink got its turn in the sun. Which is why we’re launching World Cocktail Week, a festival of awesome, boozy events at some of Sydney’s best bars – think the Rook, Palmer and Co, Tio’s, Mojo… the list goes on (and on). There’ll be tequila masses and sessions focused on frozen drinks and rockabilly nights. There’ll be learning and drinking and snacking and merriment. The full programme – along with profiles of some of the bars involved – is available in our May issue.  

Not a cocktail fiend? First of all: tut, tut, tut. Second of all: that’s fine, there’s plenty else in the May mag to keep you nourished. Like… our guide to living like Gatsby, in Sydney. The mansions! The cars! The clothes! The jazz! The cocktails! Oh, right, we’re moving on from cocktails…  

You’ll also find interviews with Melanie C (who plays Mary Magdalene in the upcoming Jesus Christ Superstar and is still an excellent backflipper), Zachary Quinto, John Bell and others. Plus: the return of the tinnie (and where to drink them), Sydney’s best sandwiches, animals on stage and our usual carefully curated mix of the best places and events you need to be at this month.   Get reading. Get drinking. If that’s your thing, of course…

Five reasons to buy Time Out this month


	1. Because we’re launching World Cocktail Week In conjunction with the Museum of the American Cocktail, we’re launching the biggest cocktail festival to ever hit Sydney, and it’s happening in May. In our May issue you’ll find the lowdown on all the excellent events and learn about the bars and cocktail-makers who you’ll see at the festival.

	2. Because you want to live like Gatsby   If you ignore a few aspects of Fitzgerald’s book (the end, for instance), Gatsby had it pretty good. And if you’re looking to emulate some West and East Egg good-times, we’ve got your guide to getting your ’20s on in Sydney, from mansions to jazz to cocktails.

	3. Because there’s a sandwich for every day of the week   It’s true, and they’re all delicious. Pick up the May edition to see Myffy Rigby’s picks of the best sandwiches in Sydney…

	4. Because some mother’s do ’ave ’em   To celebrate mum’s big day, we sat down with three of Sydney’s most fascinating mum-and-son pairs. From a tiny blogger and his high-achieving mum to one of Sydney’s best partythrowers and her high-achieving son, they’re an interesting lot to say the least. Bonus: gorgeous portraits by our photographer Daniel Boud.

	5. Because we walked the city in a blind man’s shoes   When we heard that a blind man had successfully sued CityRail over their announcements earlier this year, we started to think: just how difficult is it to get around Sydney for the vision-impaired? To answer the question, editor Joel Meares accompanied a blind man and his dog on buses, trains and foot through the CBD, experiencing a city that much harder to navigate in the dark.

Plus there are all the usual lovingly curated sections on Museums and Art, Around Town, Music, Comedy, Kids, Food and Drink, Nightlife, Performing Arts, Music, Time In and Film at your fingertips.
