Glebe Point Road runs the full length of the spur, from near the intersection of Broadway, Parramatta Road and City Road, the 2kms down to a dead end at the water's edge that is Johnson Bay/Black Wattle Bay. The first 500m of this is awash with ethnic eateries: sprouting up to cater for the massive influx of international students to the two universities in close proximity - The University of Technology and The University of Sydney - and to the experimentation of the general student population.
Glebe Point Road is a prime example of the geographer's term "ribbon development".

What kinds of food can you find there?
Some great cafes and restaurants there.
Sydney - City and Suburbs
Did you show this street from another angle previously...it looks a bit familiar...I like any road that has a lot of good restaurants!
Colorful place...and interesting architecture!
So what's on the menus?
Very colorful! I'd like to try that Lebanese food!
Julie, you could do an entire month of shots just on this block.
I LOVE the color and the whole thing!

You make the hodge podge of shops look interesting and appealing.
Julie , what about the food menu there . How about the services and all.
I do like all the colors in this shot. I wouldn't mind sitting on one of those upstairs porches awhile to just watch the world go by!
Looks like my kind of place
Oh I do like this photo - love the old-time look, and the colours are great too. The old shop/buildings of yester year retain a charm and quaintness that modern ones will never have.
Great shot. This makes me miss Sydney a lot.
Very nice, I like urban landscapes very much. You could link this over at Color Carnival, don't you think?
After half an hour back through your posts I was just a bit hungry. And I have just checked what a 'ribbon development' is...
this hit "home" - i was working 1 month in Sydney and stayed in Glebe Point road...almost started to cry when i saw those beautiful pictures - the book stores - the cafes - the bakeries - the market. i used to walk down those road to the fishmarket...ah...getting "homesick" even if it was only 1 month, this city stole my heart...
