Best vegan pizza in town. But cheese is not vegan? That's right most of their pizza's are cheese-less (there are some vegan cheese options), but I promise you that you won't miss it for a second.
This venue doesn't accept bookings and is extremely popular, so there will be a long queue on Thursdays till Sundays. Usually the queue moves pretty quickly though.
But if you want to beat the queue we recommend either going early and arriving a bit before opening at 6pm or go for a late night dinner around 9pm.

This is a Maltese restaurant (Malta is a island near Italy)
They serve traditional pastizzi which are filled pastries and are great for lunch or late night snack. But we can also recommend their pasta's, the Maltese kitchen is a lot like Italian but slightly more seafood oriented.
Their coffee is also very good.

Almost every suburb has it's own brewery. Newtown is no exception our brewery is called Young Henrys and they made a tribute beer called "Newtowner" which we absolutely love, it's a refreshing Australian pale ale that's suitable for any occasion.

Our favourite beach in the City, the beach is protected by the bay so there are barely any waves which makes it very good for swimming.
On busy days we walk a bit further to "Little congwong beach" which is a unofficial nudist beach, the nudist don't really phase us (all though we don't participate!) but it means that beach is a lot quieter then it's bigger brother.

(Little) Marley beach are 2 beautiful beaches along the famous coastal track. Due to it being in a little bay the beaches are pretty well protected from the waves which makes it great for swimming.
To get there follow the instructions on this page: https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/bundeena-drive-to-marley-walk
The walk is beautiful and takes you past another great swimming hole the deer pools. Usually when we go we walk to the beach first to swim in the sea, then when we go back we stay at the deer pool for a while and swim there to wash of the salt.

Afternoon rush hour depends on wether you're getting onto the train before Town hall or not. If at Town hall or after, it's better to get on a train to st Peters
