When the amazing people behind Wellington on a Plate offer you tickets at the last minute to the very popular and sold out collaboration between La Boca Loca and Parrot Dog Brewery, you might be surprised at how hard it is to find someone to go along with you, because apparently there is a plague […]
We didn’t present you with suggestions for events to book, I know. That’s partly because they all sell out so quickly, but mostly because I think the Dine menus are really the best opportunity to truly sample Wellington’s hospitality. So, with things kicking off tomorrow, and 108 options on offer, where should you go and […]
Well, that was an interesting night! I am pretty stoked to live in an old single storey wooden house right now, I tell you. How are you feeling today, Wellington? Have at it in the comments…
