Anyone know where I can find a decent fish and chips shop open on New Year's Eve? My plans are spectacularly underwhelming so far and deep-fried goodness seems like the perfect antidote. Failing that, recommendations for a quiet pub with a decent view of the fireworks are also welcome. Happy New Year, Sydney!

Kings Cross Mysteries?

So I'm heading down Bayswater Rd next week, buzzing to finally explore Kings Cross. Heard so many stories, from the wild 70s to the more recent...changes. My question is, what's the best way to get… more

Walk down William Street. Seriously, just wander. The architecture alone tells a story. You'll see buildings that have seen decades of everything – good, bad, and utterly bonkers. Find a pub that looks a little…worn. Don't go for the polished tourist traps. The older, the better. Chat with the bartender; they've probably got a tale or two (or twenty). Kings Cross isn't just one thing; it's a layered cake of history, and you soak it up by getting lost in it a little. And yeah, maybe keep your wits about you after dark.

That's brilliant advice! I love the idea of just wandering and stumbling upon things. Finding a slightly worn pub sounds perfect. I'm picturing something with low lighting and maybe even a bit of a dodgy vibe – in a good way, of course! Thanks for the tip about the architecture too; I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for those older buildings. And yeah, the "keep your wits about you" part is noted… I’ll be sticking to well-lit streets after sunset.
