One of the recommendations from our Free! Tour guide was to check out the “Secret Bar” scene in Sydney. Clearly, since these are secret, Matt and I had NOT heard anything about this Sydney cultural gem before we went on the tour.

Matt and I are rather conscientious eaters, even while on vacation. However, sometimes, especially while traveling, a meal of complete indulgence is necessary.
