Did you do strands today? I could see the self-satisfied grin of the puzzle maker through my phone.
The sausage stand behind the opera house was pretty great from what I remember.
I feel for the tourists that get gouged by those park cafes. Bring back FourSquare but make it a rating system for how big a rip-off a place is relative to other places nearby, and give a list of cheaper alternatives by distance.
