Regular Sections

the(sydney)magazine features the best team of lifestyle expert journalists in Sydney, covers specialist areas such as fashion, food, wine, interiors, entertainment, travel and technology and delivers entertaining columns by well-known names such as Peter FitzSimons and Simon Thomsen.


Inside Information What's really going on in your town? Inside Information features snippets of information for making the most out of the city that month. As an introduction to the issue, Inside Information includes hidden gems, entertainment highlights, historical moments, the much‑loved High Five and the cut-out-and-keep calendar. When space permits, we also run a column on emerging talent (Watch This Face) and a behind-the-scenes glimpse into each city (Access All Areas).

Eat Drink Sydney and Melbourne’s renowned chefs invite us into their homes and share their favourite recipes (What I Cook When), our reviewers post their verdicts on the newest/hottest restaurants and bars (Hot, Bars), our food critics select their favourite dining moments of the month (Dish It Up) and our wine experts help you choose the right bottle (Wine).

Fashion & Beauty Our stylists show you how to mix the best local labels with the top international designs for our main fashion, while Five Ways With provides practical tips for achieving the latest trends on a budget. In Maintenance, discover the latest beauty trends and get beauty tips from the experts.

Home Our Home pages offer you the opportunity to enter the houses of prominent Sydneysiders and Melburnians. This is a voyeuristic peek inside a much-loved house.

Travel We pick the best weekend getaways – from cosy winter B&Bs to luxurious coastal retreats – in our City Escapes column.

Box Office Where to go and what to see this month, from movies to musicals and art to the avante-garde.

The Last Page Call it a grill (Sydney) or a quiz (Melbourne). This is our opportunity to find out what some well-known residents really think of their city.

Features Each issue contains a strong profile (often our cover story), a local issue (whether it’s Rude Sydney or Where Are All Our Small Bars?) and something practical (such as the best sandwiches or the top pizzas in town).
