Harris Farm Markets
30 Springfield AveGood, fresh produce.
This is a nice spot to go if you need somewhere quieter than a cafe to work and want venture out of the apartment. I recommend going to the top level and sitting at the back which has a large window with a lovely view. The printing facilities here are much cheaper than the local newsagency/photo stores.

If you want to stretch the legs, we'd recommend heading down to Rushcutter's Bay, around the water's edge, past the Yatch Club, and further along the harbour front to Darling Point. It's relatively flat walk and has great views of the harbour.
