Visiting the Harbour City for Sydney Festival (until January 29) and looking for a memorable place to dine? You can't go past Oborozuki.

A spiral staircase, slatted curved ceilings and walls lined with sake magnums set the scene at this dramatic two-storey-high dining room with harbour views. But all eyes are on chef Hank Fang's 10-course kaiseki menu, which kicks off with cold serves of sea urchin and Beluga caviar before impressing with butter-soft Ozaki Wagyu.

Want more drama? Drop in at the Cutaway in Barangaroo for Frida Kahlo: The Life of an Icon to piece together the tumultuous story of the Mexican painter through 360-degree projections of her most famous works.

Then make a beeline for Carriageworks, where Holding Achilles explores the bond between the Greek hero and Patroclus against the backdrop of the war with Troy, brought to life by daring aerial stunts and puppetry.

My all-time favourite destination is ... New York. You can drop a pin anywhere in Manhattan and start walking in any direction, and the sights and sounds of the city that never stops will begin to stimulate all your senses in an instant.
Next on my bucket list is … Scandinavia - at the peak of summer, when the sun almost never sets.
My top travel tip is … If you’re flying to Sydney from anywhere in the world, pick a window seat far from the wing on the left-hand-side of the aeroplane. If the weather gods and flight path align, you’ll have the most incredible views of the Sydney Harbour and Opera House.
