@ 644 King Street, Newtown
Walking down this end of King Street at 7 in the morning searching for a coffee hole can be hard to do. Good thing there's South End. True, it's a bit of a hike from the station, but it opens at 6.45am and is a godsend when searching for that early morning caffeine fix.
At this time in the morning, the staff is a little drowsy, but who can blame them really? They were very helpful nonetheless and prompt in their delivery of food. The turkish toast was toasted perfectly though at $4 for a slab a little on the pricey side. The cafe's interior is simple, wooden chairs, wooden floorboards with a "lived in" feel. There's a wall leading to the kitchen riddled with poetic verse and the food behind the counter looks mouthwateringly to die for. The coffee was nice, though not piping hot and the food enough to fill.

One girl's gastromonic endeavour to conquer King Street, Newtown, a strip of over one-hundred cafes, bars and restaurants.
Walking down King Street in Newtown, one of Sydney's oldest suburbs, one's senses can become completely overwhelmed. Despite its colourful boutiques and a seemingly endless array of second-hand book stores, it's the tastebuds that really get the work-out with the strip's vast line of culinary delights. I've walked King Street many times and have counted over 140 pubs, restuarants and cafes along it.
These never stay static either. Constantly changing, upgrading, renaming and expanding one can always expect a new gastronomic adventure to greet them when visiting King Street.
Well, I'm determined to end that and achieve the near impossible: to feast from every restaurant/cafe/bar on King Street and live to tell the tale.
