Streetsmart Sydney 2007

Sydney Streetsmart
Do you feel guilty when you eat out at one of Sydney's classy restaurants? With the ceiling-to-floor plate glass windows, and the trendy location in Surry Hills or Darlinghurst, you're also treated to a view of the less fortunate, homeless, perhaps, wandering around hungrily.


Sydney's got a partial remedy, at least a way that you can contribute to the income disparity of the city while still doing something to relieve your guilt.

All the restaurants on the Streetsmart 2007 website will donate $2 to small grassroots organizations that are trying to help the city's homeless.

Some of the restaurants that you might want to try:

Selkirks in Orange

Sumac in Darling Harbour

Kazbah in Balmain

The Book Kitchen in Surry Hills

This is a tremendous opportunity for you to do the absolute minimum towards charity. I mean, really, you could just donate the entire cost of a meal, but then you'd be depriving yourself of all that butter-cooked food. Instead, the point of this program is to allow you to enjoy your meal, hoarsely laughing with a blood-red glass of wine, strands of gristled beef stuck between your teeth - without any of the guilt that comes with such a hedonistic experience.


Man, I love eating out!

I MUST REMEMBER TO WAVE AT YOU CIBBY....as I shuffle aimlessly along the wind swept streets, trying to find some temporary shelter from the drenching rain in my tattered rags, hoping to find a few spilt coins on the pathway, stomach rumbling, mind debating whether that next garbage bin will hold me dinner...

Maybe there should be a new restaurant called "CRUMBS!", where the financially and socially unfortunate may gather, in a small park below the balcony of the restaurant, hoping to catch on the fly something the spoiled diners may toss over the balcony rail, the unfinished parts of their meals, all raining down onto the starving bums heads below!!

whaddythink abooot that idea??

Maybe scolding soup would be rather unwelcome, but, as the old adage goes, "Beggars cannot be choosers!"

cheers

fog...the fleeced!
