Aussie Eateries in NYC

The Age ran an article today on the growth of Australian-themed restaurants in New York City. With names like "Little Australia", "The Sunburnt Cow", "Sheep Station", and "Bondi Road", these establishments were largely developed by Aussies for Aussies, but are making inroads with Americans. Common offerrings appear to be Australian beer (both the good stuff and the not-so-good-stuff) and wine along with a smattering of Australian sports (rugby, AFL, cricket, etc.). I'd be interested to see how Americans contend with the Australian variety hamburger (complete with beet root and a fried egg). But at the very least, Americans will be able to experience something a bit more authentic than "Outback Steakhouse".
