If you're mad about the colour of matt black the way we are, you're going to love Ching-a-lings. Not the Puerto Rican motorcycle gang from the Bronx in the 70's; but the understated upstairs bar on Oxford street in Sydney. Open till 1am on weekends, you'll enjoy the relaxed vibe and outdoor deck.

Book

The last cocktail book published before prohibition was Recipes for Mixed Drinks by Hugo Ensslin. Originally published in NYC in 1917 it holds the true recipe for the Aviation. Grab it here and don't miss the impressive collection of barware at the same time.

App

In keeping with our New York theme, the Time Out New York app is outstanding and free. It's packed with what's happening in the big apple.
