Probably the busiest cafe on Darling Street so expect to que up for your coffee. Fab baked goods (the Nutella Ciambella is the best) + some really good pre prepared salads & pastas to take home should you feel like a night off cooking.

Sightseeing

Recently completed this iconic development has given Sydney back it's green space while recognising the traditional owners of this land. Native plantation has been designed to replicate what our foreshore would of looked like before White settlement. Just a lovely place to walk around with some pop-up eatery vans & bars to try out too!

Parks & Nature

Just a few minutes walk from my house this is a great example of giving back a green space to locals. It was an old Shell refinery depot so the designers have created a fantastic space utilising the old infrastructure & planting trees & shrubs around it. Views to harbour & city, it's a great spot for firework gazing around NY celebrations.

Minutes walk from my house this is a popular oval for local sporting clubs throughout the year. Set up a picnic rug on NYE as it's one of the best spots in Sydney to watch the celebrations with views directly to Harbour Bridge.

Arts & Culture

My absolute favourite gallery in Sydney with incredible exhibitions all year round. There are private galleries scattered throughout Paddington which are also great to explore if art is your thing.
