Today we have a guest post from Suzanne over at Observations. Yay guest posts! Last night I went to the fascinating Wellington Lux lighting event on the Wellington Waterfront. (Runs from 6pm to 11pm, 1 to 9 September) This “teaser” event consists of four lighting installations, using new and interactive technology. The idea is to […]
I’m running out of food-related puns. I know right, what is this I don’t even. That’s how much I’ve been eating and writing and writing about eating lately. So let’s just get right into it, shall we? Just one review for you tonight. 1. The Great Philadelphian Cheeseburger at The General Practitioner. I’m no reality TV […]
I love Wellington on a Plate, especially when I ignore my bank balance and focus on ticking off as many lines as possible on my spreadsheet.

Right now the magnolias are in bloom along Roy Street in Newtown, and it’s gorgeous. But of course, it’s around this time last year that it snowed, so don’t be fooled — it’s still winter. The good news though, means that Wellington Zoo has entry for only $5 on Wednesdays throughout all of August. Naturally […]
Two cocktail-related news bites for you today. Item one! Last week saw the official launch of The Black Sparrow, a beautiful space with very delicious food and drinks.

Urban Harvest has been doing really interesting tastings/cooking classes for a while out of their Mount Victoria shop. We went along to a Pacific Harvest seaweed class, and were deliciously surprised, It was a fun night as well, so I thought I’d give you a heads-up about the next class coming up. They’re having a […]
