A few years ago , Newtown didn’t even register a blip on the tourist radar. But a trendy crowd has recently given this suburb the raffish charm that several other suburbs have lost since falling victim to Sydney’s relentless inner-city gentrification. It’s still a bit rough around the edges, which makes it a great place to shop for funky clothes, books and retro furnishings, and it has some groovy cafés. Glebe, on the other hand, is almost the grand dame of gentrified inner-city suburbs. In 1789, Governor Phillip granted the chaplain of the First Fleet, Reverend Richard Johnson, 162 ha (400 acres) for services rendered. Today, Glebe accommodates workers’ cottages and impressive 19th-century residences on tree-lined streets that meander down to the harbour. It is also home to numerous cafés and restaurants, an arthouse cinema, Sydney’s best bookshop Gleebooks, pleasant harbourside parks and the ever-popular Glebe Market.

After enjoying a film at the pictures, eat in this cafe situated right next to Dendy cinema. Very affordable, and very delicious! My favourites are the simple risottos.
