Local Life
»
Cafes & Bars
Mainstays include Piccolo Bar and the Old Fitzroy but once you get off
the Darlinghurst Rd strip, most of the cafes and bars are well patronised by locals.
»
Parks
Residents of the apartment blocks of Potts Point and Elizabeth Bay can be seen
spreading out towels in tiny Arthur McElhone Reserve or walking their pampered
pooches in Embarkation Park.
»
Potts Point Boys
The subculture of well-heeled, well-groomed, gym-buffed gay men
who frequent the local cafes and all of the big dance parties.
Getting There & Away
»
Train
Everywhere is within walking distance of Kings Cross station, although the west-
ern fringe of Woolloomooloo is closer to St James.
»
Bus
Route 311 hooks through Kings Cross, Potts Point, Elizabeth Bay and Wool-
loomooloo on its way from Railway Sq to the bottom of town. Routes 324 and 325 pass
through Kings Cross (Bayswater Rd) en route between Circular Quay and Watsons Bay.
»
Car
The city council operates a 24-hour car park at 9a Elizabeth Bay Rd in Kings Cross
(entry via Ward Ave; per hour/day $6/30, more on weekends). Street parking is possible,
but often metered and limited in duration. Clearways are ruthlessly enforced. Don't leave
valuables visible.
