To cel­eb­rate get­ting over Hump Day (Wed­nes­day), here’s the first in a series of things that the Wel­ling­tonista is lov­ing right now. Please feel free to add in your own cur­rent loves in the com­ments sec­tion.

  • Good Luck­’s out­door tables and $8 cock­tail menu on Tues­days & Wed­nes­days; mango bati­das, rasp­berry caprioskas and plum dai­quiris, oh my!
  • Olive’s early-bird deal (3 courses for $29 if you’re out by 7:30) is pretty damned good.
  • The lem­on-lime sher­bert cock­tail at Super­fino: sorbet, limon­cello, Ketel One vodka and Fox­ton Fizz Lime.
  • The $17 anti­pasto plat­ter at Kil­li­as in New­town, over­flow­ing with cho­ri­zo, salami, meat­balls, mush­rooms, grilled pep­pers, olives, deli­cious fresh ciabatta, dips and an impress­ive bread­stick struc­ture.
  • Port Cafe have brought back their sep­ar­ate takeaway menu, start­ing at $10 for 2 crumbed fish & chips, and get­ting cheap­er as you buy in bulk.
