The very best and inexpensive Japanese in the area. Sashimi Seafood and beef capparcio are particularly good. No bookings but easier to get into than Shanghai Nights, which is nearby. Both allow BYO and there is a Choice One nearby on Liverpool Road.

My very secret local fishmonger!. This is where all the local Italians and Greeks buy their fish and oysters. Cheaper than Sydney fish markets and if you're lucky you can park directly at the front door

Enough said!! A hot tip is to have a cocktail before sunset atop Australia Square building – it rotates 360° and they are the most glorious views of Sydney period!

Although there is a Choice One discount liquor store in nearby Ashfield, The Summer Hill Wine shop (down the road) has been there for >30 years and has an outstanding range of quality wines and very helpful and knowledgeable staff who are down-to-earth.

Parks & Nature

This relatively new hidden harbourside Park was apparently voted best harbourside Park in the world a few years back. It's definitely worth the trip and take a picnic there are gas BBQs and very few people
