Newtown & Surry Hills

Ready for a break from the beach, we designated Sunday as our suburb exploration day. It was also a cooler (mid-70's) and super windy day, so walking around fun areas of the city seemed like a good thing to do.

We started out going to Newtown. It's a western suburb of Sydney that has lots of eclectic shops and restaurants. It's fun for walking around and just looking at interesting things.

Our first stop was Black Star Pastry, a fabulous bakery and coffee shop in the heart of Newtown.


Our treats were tasty! We had bread pudding with a delicious sauce, and my favorite: strawberry and watermelon cake. So delicious!


Then we did some window shopping in some of the cool little stores nearby.





There's Toby, standing hopefully by a lunch menu
After we walked around in Newtown for a couple hours, we headed back to Central and walked up to Surry Hills. Surry Hills turned into a bit more of an eating tour than a shopping tour. =)

We started with a snack at a sushi bar.


We sat by the bar, and it was a lot of fun to watch the chefs do their thing.


After a small bite here and some time relaxing at the bar, we headed down the street to change it up with some Italian.

Toby really was having a good time, I promise!

We just ordered some small plates of bruschetta and arancini, along with some drinks. It was all super delicious! And we got some bonus bites of fresh biscotti with our check.



Our final stop on the food tour of Surry Hills was at Kurtosh for the funnest pastries in the world!


This is the way to spend an afternoon in Surry Hills!
