Name:
Stephanie Campanella
Where I work: Director, Summit Digital, Lavender Bay
I start my day with a…walk! I get off the train at Waverton and walk to my office on Middlemiss Street in Lavender Bay. I take deep breaths and am so happy this is a choice I get to make. That walk really sets the tone for the day. My fave coffee spot is…The North Spoon on Blues Point Road, McMahons Point and I’ll order a double shot flat white with almond milk and one sugar... yep, I am that girl with the complex coffee order, but I love it!
When I grab brekky on the run, I’ll…head to Two Black Sheep in Greenwood Plaza for a brekkie wrap and try to avoid temptation when it comes to their amazing sweets. My fave spots for a quick lunch when I’m busy are…Nem Viet on Walker Street - the chicken pho is the best thing when you’ve got a cold coming on too. I’ll also duck over to Loulou in Lavender Bay for
a chicken baguette. But you’ve got to get there at 12pm on the dot as they sell out super fast. If I’m taking a client for lunch I’ll head to…Glorietta. How lucky are we to have such an amazing venue right here in North Sydney. I also love Loulou. It’s a beautiful French restaurant that truly adds to the dining landscape in the area. My fave place for after work drinks and socialising would be…The Botanist in Kirribilli or The Greenwood Hotel. I also love Four Hundred Mexican Bar and Kitchen on Greenwood Plaza Rooftop. The food and drinks are yum!
My fave spot to escape from my desk is…the top part of Bradfield Park near Milsons Point station. There’s plenty of shade and it’s always nice and quiet. I think North Sydney’s an amazing place. I love the buildings and the people - it’s got a really good vibe.
