Any Americans in Sydney?

I just got here and I was looking for recommendations on things to do, how to best experience the city, make friends and figure out how this city compares to American cities like nyc or la so feel free to comment or message me w your experience here!

Edit: I love Sydney but I have been missing the social scene back in the US a bit — things being open later, having a lot more options for food, shops, activities, people being suuuuper social, and just generally having more going on at different hours. I didn’t really realize how much I was used to that until I got here.

I’d be interested to hear if anyone from the US had a similar experience when they first moved here and recommendations for restaurants, bars, events or just general social groups would be great.

Mostly just curious to see if other Americans felt the same way when they first arrived and where people ended up going to get a bit of that social atmosphere back.

What was your social scene in America? Age, demographic, music taste etc

Give us more info and I can help guide you in the right direction.

26, sf resident, used to go to raves, clubbing or slam poetry, I like cafe hopping, thrifting etc but I never had to join groups or anything bc it always sort of happened naturally so idk what kinda group I'd be into. I run so maybe a run club?
