City East


Click Map for a larger view.

Incorporating classy Potts Point and chameleon Kings Cross, this part of town caters to all tastes. Once infamous as Sydney's seamy underbelly, 'The Cross' has sharpened up – exclusive watering holes attract trendy urbanites keen to be 'seen', there’s no end of flash eateries, and young Sydneysiders and overseas travellers converge at cutting-edge clubs. Rife with old stories of local bohemians, this village remains a great place for people watching.

Near the photogenic El Alamein fountain, the suburbs of Kings Cross and Potts Point merge, giving way to the neighbourhood bistros and providores of Macleay Street. Here the area's rich history is reflected in the grand heritage houses lining the likes of Challis Avenue.

Down to the water, The Finger Wharf with its luxury apartments and stylish restaurants is now a focal point in Woolloomooloo, while nearby pie cart and Sydney institution, Harry’s Cafe de Wheels, and an established public housing community, keep the area grounded. The upscale suburbs of Elizabeth Bay and Rushcutters Bay are close by, synonymous with that much-desired Sydney commodity: water views.

Whether you’re after a slap-up meal or a midnight cocktail, the east is ready and able to please.
