Newtown is classic example of an inner Sydney suburb transformation from working class to a trendy cosmopolitan one, the narrow backstreets and driveways with parked BMWs instead of Holdens.
On the main drag, King Street, you can find speciality shops, bookshops, a number of restaurants and numerous cafe’s and eateries. There are also vintage fashion shops, music stores, antique and import shops.
There is also a strong Greek presence here, dating back to the beginnings of Sydney as a city. There are some great Greek delis in Newtown reflecting this, with great coffee, olives, cheeses and other assorted imported and local delicacies.
