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.

A Coffee and a Yarn

 @ 413 King Street, Newtown

 **Sadly Missed. This was a lovely idea, but unfortunately it couldn't last. Looks like we'll have to survive on wool art in Newtown again.

I love the idea of this place. It's packed full of yarn, knitting needles and knitting books. They provide classes on knitting and they leave half stitched works around for you to "stitch a line" while you dine.


Brimming with colour and flair, this cafe is hard to miss. And although I was thrilled to take my camera through its paces amongst this rainbow of colour, the food was sadly lacking. My coffee was about 80 per cent froth and 20 per cent coffee and the brownie I ordered was standard, small and cost a little over $4!

Go for the atmosphere, but don't expect anything exceptional from the food.
