Kebabs: not much 'round here, but the new "Alaturka" in Waring Taylor St is okay.
For sandwichy stuff, you've got plenty of options, but I often end up at Ground Floor (cnr Waring Taylor & Customhouse Quay), Espresso Republic (Featherston St) or Arabica (Grey St). If you're up the northern end, Sweet Fanny Anne's (by the bus terminus) has one of the wider and more interesting ranges of sandwich than most places.
Takeaway coffee: I like the Burton Hollis "Milano" blend from Magnetix on Midland Park Like? Who am I kidding: I love it!
Sushi: I haven't tried it, but there's always a ridiculous crowd outside Midland Sushi on Waring Taylor, so they must be doing something right.
After work drinks: I'm always desparately trying to avoid the default option (the Poxy Occi). It's loud, crowded and full of bloggers. Shudder. For a pubby environment, I much prefer Leuven, but it's best to get there early and it's easy to forget that after a couple of beers it's hard to walk (if they're Duvel, that is). If I manage to drag the workmates away from the Occi for a more upmarket tipple, then Arbitrageur, Juniper, Beaujolais or Concrete are the usual suspects.
