Food Scene
A great local cafe. Fantastic for breakfast - scrambled eggs are a specialty. Excellent coffee. Rain or shine, hot or cold, you can sit outside and watch the world pass you by. And then when your meal's over you can stroll down Challis Avenue and into the city.

Go here for the cocktails - they're brilliant. Butler also has solid French-Australian wine list. The menu is fairly simple quasi-French fare. Steak frites and the like. It's noisy and most nights is full of fashionable, good looking locals out having fun.

Bronwyn is a honey and her cafe is excellent. There'll always be some characters hanging around the bench (it's like the bar in Cheers!). Great toasties and excellent coffee.

Kylie Kwong is one of Sydney's best and most loved Asian chefs. Sit at the counter if you can as the staff are warm and you'll get to watch the magic happen. Make sure you order the duck with orange. And the beans! Oh, and the dumplings! And the fish is always great...

Sightseeing
The CYC is where the famous Sydney to Hobart yacht race departs from every Boxing Day (26 December). It has a decent casual restaurant (burgers, seafood) and on a hot day is the perfect place to sit back, have a few beers and watch the boats. Continue walking past the CYC down New Beach Road and you'll enjoy amazing views of the Harbour, Opera House, Bridge and north shore.

A gorgeous hidden gem of a park. So, so pretty. At low tide you can walk along the tiny strip of breach. I've heard the wharf cafe has been renovated and is now open so check it out and let me know what you think!
