BEST FOOD AFTER 2 AM: HARRY’S CAFÉ DE WHEELS

This infamous Mecca for night owls has been feeding hungry mouths into the wee hours of the morning since 1945, but there’s still nothing like that first bite into one of Harry’s pies; as the pastry gives way to the succulent meaty filling, you know it’s worth the trek after a night out in nearby Kings Cross, or a pleasant stroll along Finger Wharf. We recommend the signature ‘tiger pie’ – the combination of mashed potato, mushy peas and a spoonful of gravy atop one of Harry’s traditional pies is pure tasty goodness. There’s also endless amusement to be had as you try to identify the famous faces (mostly pre-botox and pro-perm) in the photos plastered upon nearly every inch of the Harry’s stand. Harry’s has had many visitors from all walks of life over the years and this little gem is a well-established icon on the Sydney night scene. (Jade Tyrrell)
