Guidebook for Newington
Food Scene
This small restaurant has amazing korean fried chicken! Their beer battered chips are one of the best in Sydney. I have been here so many times and it never disappoints.
The staff are also very friendly and accomodating too. If you dine in they do check up on you and offer refreshing pickled radishes as a side dish with unlimited refills.
They are great at giving takeaway boxes if you can't finish your food, already fitted with aluminium foil so the oil doesn't go everywhere.
It's little things they do here that keep bringing us back because its always a great experience, with delicious food.

This has been our local cafe for many years. Always a great place to drop in to get a coffee or a bit of brunch or lunch.
Staff are friendly without being intrusive and over the top and the price is reasonable.
I would recommend trying Lemon Tree if you are in the area for sure.

Parks & Nature
Beautiful park with a ton to see. Many different types of environments, plenty of beautiful birds, and kilometers of bike paths. There is a bike rental service by the large pond, and a quaint little cafe. There is also a dinner hall that can be rented out for a variety of occasions. Overall, Bicentennial Park is something that shouldnt be missed, but renting a bike is strongly recommended.

Shopping
This place is brand new. It is great, plenty of shops, not a lot of food places, but the ones there were offering happy hour deals.
Seeing the number of people lining up for these I get the feeling that people come here everyday just for that.
I ate some pretty good prawns at half price. Happy about that.
Also this is opposite to Costco.

Ample parking. Decent prices on goods. Have to buy in bulk which can be a pain, prices comparable to Aldi more or less, however they have more options and electronic goods. The Costco kiosk for fast food is excellent and tasty.
