DH and I are planning a weekend getaway at the end of November to celebrate our birthdays in SYD.

I've only stayed at the Radisson Plaza in the city/circular quay for work and it's nice.

Which part of SYD is closest to the best bars and nicest restaurants?

Where could we go during the day?

We like animals and parks, so i was thinking Taronga zoo and the underground aquarium place for one of the days.

What about day 2?

TIA.
