      my partner looked at the display setup in Dixon St and said it looked like a Chinese funeral

      I said maybe it's celebrating the death of COVID restrictions … ?

  • Mr Frodo on 14/10/2022 - 10:45

    Ah, perfect to go to the Paddy's Market!

      Ah, perfect to go to the Paddy's Market!

      What for? It's all just Ali Express but with much less range and extra markup. I guess you don't have to wait for shipping though…

      They sell counterfeit designers bags there, I thought that's illegal?

      • xoom on 14/10/2022 - 13:08

        They get raided ever now and then or at least their suppliers do. But they are still at it.

        • Homr on 14/10/2022 - 13:28

          they are not cheap either, they sell for around $300 - $800

    Never use the Wilsons. They literally will sit outside and will fine at 2:01. At least in Perth thats the case.

    • [Deactivated] on 14/10/2022 - 11:20

      Touch wood I've never had an issue with Wilsons but, then, I'm super conservative when it comes to making sure I arrive/depart within any stipulated windows of time (so I don't know if Wilsons is any better or worse than other big parking providers when it comes to leniency).

    • crackman on 14/10/2022 - 11:25

      It's mostly automated in Sydney. They don't fine you, they charge you more.

      • andresampras on 14/10/2022 - 12:01

        yeah the person behind the soundbox is mostly there to say "nothing I can do about it, I can't override the system….what time does your ticket say again?"

          You just gotta push - when they hang up, call again and get a better agent. They have to let you out for free if you can't find a park, for example.

          • andresampras on 14/10/2022 - 13:19

            @aidenh37: yeah sometimes it's simply a battle of wills….and how much time you have on your hands

    • tomleonhart on 14/10/2022 - 11:44

      So did you pay until 2 and or 2.30 when they fine you.

    • Tuttorix on 14/10/2022 - 11:47

      You know that you don't have to pay private entity fines right? Only council mandated ones. Private corporations have no ability to fine you and even if they were to take you to court, the only thing they'd get is compensation for the singular minute or time between 2:00 - 2:30PM.

    • sween64 on 14/10/2022 - 16:36

      No issue parking with Wilson’s in VIC.

  • cerealsmok3r on 14/10/2022 - 11:35

    Thanks for sharing op. Just an fyi, it’s free parking between 6-11:59pm if you dine at the 1909 dining precinct and get the ticket validated.

    • kerfuffle on 14/10/2022 - 12:00

      Clearly didn't read the OP where no purchasing of food is required.

    • andresampras on 14/10/2022 - 12:02

      what you have against chinese food?

      Dude I live across the road from market city, the food in Haymarket is some of the best I've ever eaten, and I've extensively travelled to ~30 countries (though admittedly I never eat in the old school china town mall strip)

      • bruzer86 on 14/10/2022 - 13:55

        Couldn't agree more - I'd be pretty fkn stoked to have the likes of Happy Chef, Kwan Noodle Bar (sadly closing soon), Xi'an Cuisine, Mother Chu's, Steam King and Kiroran within a 5 min walk of home, so not sure where all this 'shitty chinese food' is hiding

    You're going to burn through that 2 hours quickly looking for a park. Just park at Broadway and walk over as usual, or take the train/bus.

    • kerfuffle on 14/10/2022 - 12:26
      +1

      Broadway is only two hours free parking as well though and it takes about 15 minutes to walk between the two places

  • Ghogger on 14/10/2022 - 12:54

    Heads up - I live across from Market City, and can see the crazy traffic going into the car park at night. I would highly recommend not trying to come in after 5pm or before 8pm on Friday or Saturday, it's just a nightmare of gridlock traffic. Any other time is completely fine :)

    Lots of good food options around, would recommend eating away from the Neon thingy because of crazy crowds - Mr Chen's beef noodles is one of my new favourite restaurants, highly recommend!

    • Homr on 14/10/2022 - 12:59

      Sussex centre has a great food court. It will be busy though and last order is around 8pm

    • godfather on 14/10/2022 - 13:52

      Agree. Better to park further up near Liverpool street and walk down or catch a light rail.

      • kiitos on 17/10/2022 - 10:46

        Which parking station would that be?

    • 1st-Amendment on 14/10/2022 - 15:05

      Eating World used to be great. It had the proper Asia food court vibe with good food for reasonable prices. Since they renovated it and made half as big it lacks the charm it used to have.

      • kiitos on 17/10/2022 - 10:47

        I assumed it was only temporarily smaller while they renovate, that's a bit dire if that's the extent of eateries going forward.

    • kiitos on 17/10/2022 - 11:10

      Have recently started working near Chinatown, would love any other eatery recommendations!

      So far I've liked

      Gumshara
      Malaysian at Pittsway food court
      Laksa from a place in Sussex Centre
      Boon Cafe
      Kowloon Cafe

      Pubs around Surry Hills have been hit and miss.

  • turk182 on 14/10/2022 - 16:27

    Thanks booked tomorrow for 5pm-7pm. Tip input the promo code first and you'll be able to book

  • fundoo2022 on 14/10/2022 - 22:34

    I presume if I book for a particular time, I can park only for that time with that booking. But I am not sure what time I would go tomorrow. Would it be available tomorrow to book like an hour ago before I will go?

  • LoserScott on 14/10/2022 - 23:39

    Xie Xing ping approves of this gathering… It will be another tian square meet up.
