Love Nomad, food is stunning and fitout is gorgeous too, you can sit at the counter or get tables. Reservations essential and usually hard to get last minute. Easy 5 min walk from the apartment.

One of my favourites, Japanese food with a Taiwanese twist. Has great peking duck wrappers as well as ngiri. Tuesday nights usually has live music (but gets booked out super early, make sure you ask for downstairs seating).

Fantastic cafe for breakfast, brunch, lunch or just coffee. Their meals are intricately constructed masterpieces. You will not come away hungry. Usually a queue on weekends, but worth a wait in the adjoining park.

Drinks & Nightlife

One of the local pubs, has a great cheap menu most nights. Menu is getting more Southern US styled which is great, po boys (no blackened catfish sadly for me!), really interesting burgers and all the usual aussie pub favourites. Oh and the craft brew menu is outstanding with some 33 odd on tap.

An iconic local pub where its rumoured that politicians drink alongside underworld figures in days gone past. Nice and local, with an interesting menu! Sometimes has live music on the weekends.

A local staple! Has a whiskey bar as well as the normal pub type environment. Usually pretty busy if you fancy people around!

One of Sydney's hidden bars, look for the red door on Campbell St (or is it green now?). Always busy and interesting.

Sightseeing

Walk down Elizabeth Street, across Hyde Park and down into the domain to Mrs Macquarie's Chair (spoiler alert, it's not actually a chair). Admire the harbour bridge and opera house, and walk along the shore to the opera house. Have a drink at the Opera bar and either go shopping or keep walking to and across the bridge. Beautiful walk, and when you get tired, jump on the train at Wynyard or Circular Quay and head on back to Central.

Every visitor to Sydney needs at least one picture with the Harbour Bridge over one shoulder and the Opera House on the other.

This is a pretty amazing neighbourhood with a colourful (and sometimes bloody) past. Walk around the lanes and streets and admire the eclectic terrace houses, tree lined streets and the generally interesting vibe.

A zoo with one of the most amazing urban backdrops I've ever seen. Also has some pretty fantastic shows and events held there, I've been to a Zoo Brew craft beer exhibition, the Vivid festival had an amazing precinct there, live music and the list goes on.

Getting Around

Train station that connects Sydney to most of it's parts (I exaggerate slightly, but it is the centre of my public transport universe). A 6-8 min walk up/down the hill. Also has buses but I confess that I don't usually take the bus from Central, the buses I do take are usually from Wynyard as they're heading north.

Trains, planes and automobiles. Well, trains and buses mainly. Good stop for the central city and to connect you to buses heading north if your destination is not on a train line.
