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.

2042

@ 403 - 405 King Street, Newtown

Named after the postcode for Newtown 2042 is a huge expanse of a cafe. Broad wooden benches line the pathway, comfortable sofas sit just beyond the doorway and inside are lines of tables and chairs. It's a great place to go for a morning cuppa and doesn't deter solo diners.

The counter sits at the back, adorned with an array of sweet treats. I chose a seat closer to the front on a scorcher of a morning, on the side, hiding behind a front column. It was comfortable and afforded me a good view of the street and the rest of the cafe. 

The service was slightly delayed though, when it began, was delightful. The coffee was nice, the french toast was a little soggy but extremely filling though, because it did feel so heavy it's doubtful I'll be ordering it again! (Shouldn't have doused it in the maple syrup, should I?) Overall it was a nice experience and I'm sure I'll be returning for a heartier meal soon.
