TRAVEL SURFACING The Potts Point District of Sydney Becomes Sharper
Tony Sernack for The New York TimesSydney's Potts Point district is drawing a younger crowd with its handsome buildings and new shops and cafes.
By JULIE EARLE-LEVINE Published: December 20, 2009
FOR decades, Potts Point has enjoyed a reputation as Sydney's bohemian center. Over the last few years, a new wave of openings has re-established the neighborhood as a destination for the young and beautiful, despite - or maybe because of - its proximity to Kings Cross, an area best known for its prostitutes, strip clubs and tattoo parlors.
On Macleay Street, the main artery of Potts Point, gorgeous Art Deco apartment buildings and Victorian terrace houses sit amid new restaurants and cafes where hipsters and celebrities mingle."When I first came to Potts Point 15 years ago, there wasn't anywhere to even have lunch or breakfast," said Christopher Becker, an owner of Becker Minty, a furnishings and clothing store with two outlets in Potts Point.
Mothers sip espresso while their toddlers enjoy "babyccinos" (steamed milk without the coffee). Another brand that has a strong presence in the neighborhood is Fratelli, which offers a retail store, Fratelli Fresh (www.fratellifresh.com.au), and Café Sopra, a casual restaurant. Diners choose from a daily blackboard menu, with offerings like linguine with lemon, chili and pangrattato.
Later, you can shop for everything from fresh passion fruit to two dozen types of house-made pasta.
