Get to the city or get FOMO

There’s so much happening in the city right now, it’s enough to give you FOMO. 

Cosy up in basement bars and dine in the best new restaurants. Shop winter warmers in little laneways and stop for hot chocolate. Escape the chill at all-day exhibitions and head to huge gigs and the biggest shows after dark.
