Meat Pie & Mushy Peas? Woolloomooloo!


Spoke with M & T this morning. They're still up in Brisbane, but gave me a great lunch recommendation. I headed down to Harry's Cafe de Wheels in Woolloomooloo for a traditional meat pie and mushy peas (with sauce, of course!).


The pie was delicious. Harry's has been around since 1945--its success is due, no doubt, in no small part to the fact that it is located immediately outside the gates of HMAS Kuttabul, the Royal Australian Navy's Fleet Base East. But never mind that--Harry's stands on its own, and is an icon of Sydney, much in the same way that Pat's and Gino's are icons of Philly.


It is a balmy 85 degrees again today, with crystalline skies and a light breeze. I'm off to Tasmania tonight to catch up with an old friend from Sweden.
