Deli death match
Ever woken up in the middle of a reality TV show?


High density Darlo – with at least half a century’s reputation for great cafes and good food – has suddenly gone deli mad.
The skeletal, winding road that’s occasionally Macleay Street, sometimes Darlinghurst Road and eventually Victoria Street, has mushroomed with fancy providores.

You feel spoiled, with so many great, independent shops selling delicious produce. But is it sustainable, can they all last?
