Darby street is within walking distance from central Newcastle city. There is a lot of art and alternative type shops situated in Darby street as well as a variety of cafes and restaurants that cater for the trendy rather than the alternative. There is a sense of “keeping up with the Jones” when you walk past the latte sipping trend setters having lunch sitting outside the restaurants. Actually the work “pretentious” plays on your mind here but that is soon forgotten when you see some of the great shops that are offered in Darby street. There are some art shops and galleries, second hand and antique shops plus a number of alternative clothing shops.
You can find an interesting walk here in Darby street that certainly offers something better than the boring nothingness of Newcastle city shopping.
I enjoy walking through Darby street, great art shops and interesting people.
