If you’re wondering why the light rail along Sydney’s George St is closed for business, it’s because some fancy folks are coming to sit on the tracks for a “once in a lifetime” dining experience.
The mass amount of dining tables and cutlery sets preventing you from getting to work is part of an event called “Open For Lunch“, where the NSW Government shuts down huge sections of the city to host a “foodie extravaganza”.
It’s called Open For Lunch because you open your wallets, not because the city will be open and accessible. This is Sydney, you fool! Keep dreaming of a city that can safely rely on its efficient transport system.
