If you're a typography nerd, a pirate, or just someone who spends a lot of time in the city, you might have noticed all those nicely fonted Xs stamped all over streets, walls, and bus stops. If you love nothing more than a good hashtag, you probably turned to Twitter to stalk the elusive Mr X.

Well, the secret might be over, but the fun kicks on: X marks the spot where four of The Rocks' best restaurants and drinking spots converge for a month-long feast of food, drinks, and late-night entertainment. Tropical French bar and brasserie Ananas, New York-inspired steakhouse The Cut, designer Japanese joint Saké, and the splendidly hulking Argyle itself are all getting involved in the initiative, turning one heritage-listed location into a four-pronged drinking and dining destination for the month of March.

Each participating restaurant is offering $25 lunch and $35 dinner menus, but really the vibe is all about mixing and matching. Eat your lunch wraps in The Argyle's courtyard then duck under the glowing pineapple after work to unwind over French hors d'oeuvres, or wash down some fresh sashimi with a Japanese martini before heading to The Cut for a Tasmanian wilderness grass-fed sirloin. Ananas and The Argyle will keeping you fuelled with drink specials and DJs on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.

For a real gastronomic odyssey, there's Progressive Exchange, a three-course dinner spanning Saké, The Cut and Ananas for $175 including matching wines or cocktails. An extra $50 will get you the premium stuff.
