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.
