Food Scene
Kylie Kwong is one of Sydney's best and most loved Asian chefs. Sit at the counter if you can as the staff are warm and you'll get to watch the magic happen. Make sure you order the duck with orange. And the beans! Oh, and the dumplings! And the fish is always great...

It's the best Greek restaurant in Sydney. Mmm, lamb. Don't be put off if you have to wait - it's worth it.

A great local cafe. Fantastic for breakfast - scrambled eggs are a specialty. Excellent coffee. Rain or shine, hot or cold, you can sit outside and watch the world pass you by. And then when your meal's over you can stroll down Challis Avenue and into the city.

Bronwyn is a honey and her cafe is excellent. There'll always be some characters hanging around the bench (it's like the bar in Cheers!). Great toasties and excellent coffee.

Go here for the cocktails - they're brilliant. Butler also has solid French-Australian wine list. The menu is fairly simple quasi-French fare. Steak frites and the like. It's noisy and most nights is full of fashionable, good looking locals out having fun.

Everything Else
Wayside is a not-for-profit that provides services and food to the homeless and under-privileged people of Kings Cross. They have a service on Sunday mornings which can hardly be described as religious. Always moving, often funny. The cafe sells excellent quality food at a fraction of the cost you would pay elsewhere. The philosophy is to provide dignity and break down the us and them.

Sightseeing
The CYC is where the famous Sydney to Hobart yacht race departs from every Boxing Day (26 December). It has a decent casual restaurant (burgers, seafood) and on a hot day is the perfect place to sit back, have a few beers and watch the boats. Continue walking past the CYC down New Beach Road and you'll enjoy amazing views of the Harbour, Opera House, Bridge and north shoare.

If you're in Sydney for NYE, this is a great vantage point to watch the fireworks. Like all Sydney harbourside parks though, it's alcohol-free so leave the bubbly at home. On any other day, it's a gorgeous park that few tourists know about.
