Despite the general tenor of last year ( ugh is a universal descriptor), a lot of good things happened. And a lot, surprisingly, in the restaurant world. Even more surprisingly, a lot happened in the city – an area of Sydney widely reported to have suffered the most. That s something to be celebrated.
Restaurants in the CBD and surrounds need your support more than ever, so Good Food is putting out an all-points SOC (Save Our City) call to anyone who is hungry.

Itâs 10am on a sunny Thursday in Llankelly Place in Kings Cross and a yuppie in a business shirt and short shorts leans against a brown brick wall, vaping while waiting for his coffee.

Billy Grier, 50, was homeless and struggling with an untreated mental illness.
He ran into an old friend on Christmas and said he finally got set up with a social worker who was going to help him get treatment for his condition.
But Grier died before he could get the help he had been waiting for.
Someone fatally shot Grier Monday as he stood among several other people outside a corner store at North Sixth and Woodbine streets, where he was known to visit each day. Prosecutors don’t believe he was the intended target.
