Tucked away from the bustle of Newtown is Oscillate Wildly, whose cult following has been unsuccessful in keeping the restaurant's eight-course modern European dégustation menu a secret. Terry Durack calls this a 'date' restaurant for its cosy, unpretentious setting and small tables, which allow you to sit close to your beloved.
Newtown is the bastion of cool, inner-city fringe hipness. Restaurants, cafes, pubs, shops, and a highly eclectic vibe. The suburb regenerates itself with new shops and food places fairly regularly. A lot of students live and hang out here

Check out this website to learn more about things to do and places to visit on Sydney's stunning harbour. Try a picnic day trip to Neilsons Park or Shark Island. Try any of the harbour walks - from Bondi to Coogee is a great one. If your not that energetic simply jump on a ferry to travel to Balmain, Sydney Zoo, Rose Bay - the best way to experience the harbour from the water
