You could always start your night with an indulgent meal at the Glass Brasserie inside the Hilton Hotel in Sydney. Restaurateur, Luke Mangan has created a Vivid-inspired menu. “Vivid is such an amazing thing. It’s grown into something really special and we wanted to be part of that. We wanted to make sure that customers could come in earlier and have a great experience and go off and explore Vivid,” Luke says.
