Ep 9- Sydney's Cafes Are Officially Better Than Melbourne's! With Alex Lee

from Sydney Tonight · host Lachlan A'Court

After a list of the 100 best coffee shops in the entire world was published last week, we can now officially say that Sydney has better cafes than Melbourne. Two cafes in Sydney made the top 5, with Melbourne's highest ranking all the way down in 27th! But just how good is a coffee from one of these top ranked cafes? And does it taste noticeably better than a coffee from an average cafe? To find out, my producer Aspen and I visited Toby's Estate in Chippendale for an experiment. You'll also meet comedian and TV presenter Alex Lee as she joins me in the Sydney Tonight studios to talk about being a school captain, playing Dungeons and Dragons, and why she is actually the perfect example of a life well lived. Alex will be starring in the new ABC show Tonight At The Museum which kicks off on Wednesday 4th March so be sure to tune in for that!And you're probably sleeping on Dulwich Hill- one of the greatest suburbs in Sydney. Nathan Roach and Juliet Timmerman got out to "the pot of gold at the end of the L1 line" this week to find out what makes it such a special place to be. And between the new metro station, the three light rail stops, and the rocket ship monument, they were spoilt for choice. Thank you to Mark Williamson, Aspen Beilharz, Lee Chan, Alex Lee, Nathan Roach, and Juliet Timmerman! Sydney Tonight is produced at 2SER studios in Ultimo, Sydney. The show is broadcast every Tuesday night at 7:30pm from Chatswood to Cherrybrook, Blacktown to Bankstown, Parramatta to Penrith! Catch interview clips, videos, and other extra Sydney Tonight content here! If you have a story about Sydney that you think needs to be told, get in touch through the email!   This podcast is recorded on Gadigal and Dharug Land.
