Newtown is a very poor, nay impoverished man's version of East London, filled with hipsters, rich students who feel their middle class guilt strongly, and the homeless. It's covered in vomit, dirt and poor imitations of Banksy. In its favour, there are some good cafes and it's very near the city, but that's where it ends. In the summer you will feel you are in a hipster desert where the fetid smell of rubbish pervades. For entertainment there is the annual invasion day march, or perhaps the Marxism conference? All attended by uni students whose parents work at KPMG. Try hard area that is like a counterfeit cheap version of Melbourne. Avoid.
