Sydney's many wharves are experiencing a rebirth. The Finger Wharf at Woolloomooloo paved the way in the late nineties and its star-studded trattoria, Otto (6 Cowper Wharf Rd.; 61-2/9368-7488; dinner for two $100), still sizzles. • W Hotel (6 Cowper Wharf Rd.; 61-2/9331-9000; doubles from $415) generates its own models-and-movie-stars ecosystem. Russell Crowe owns a penthouse next door. • One of Sydney's liveliest converted pubs, the Tilbury Hotel (12-18 Nicholson St., Woolloomooloo; 61-2/9368-1955), is packed on weekends. • Revelers sate post-cocktail hunger with a mushy peas, mash, and tomato sauce pie from Harry's Café de Wheels (Cowper Wharf Rd.; 61-2/9357-3074), a kitschy wharf institution. • The Jones Bay Wharf has blossomed with Flying Fish (Pier 21, 19-21 Pirrama Rd.; 61-2/9518-6677; dinner for two $108), a dramatic loft space where the menu takes inspiration from France and the sub- continent. • The Sydney Theatre Company (Pier 4/5, Hickson Rd.; 61-2/9250-1777) has opened a new space near the restored landing at Walsh Bay, a 20-minute walk from Circular Quay.
