by Joanna December 22, 2011

We didn’t have the TAWAs this year, but lots of awesomeness still took place. Here’s a very self-indulgent look at what I particularly loved and didn’t – hopefully other Wellingtonistas will add their own posts too.

TAWA6: not this year

by Alan November 2, 2011

Let’s get the bad news out of the way quickly: we’re not going to be able to bring you the The Annual Wellingtonista Awards this year. This makes us sad.

The TAWAs are coming!

by Joanna October 14, 2011

Grab yourself a great big vivid and mark off December 8 as the day of The Sixth Annual Wellingtonista Awards. Now go ahead and scribble out the day after as well, as you will be too partied out to do anything then. Obviously, we’re quiet because we have all kinds of plans afoot, but for […]

TAWA5 Best Thing in Wellington

by Joanna November 20, 2010

This category is a bit of a mixed bag. It’s where we put things that we want to celebrate that didn’t seem to fit anywhere else, but that doesn’t mean these nominations are second thoughts. Indeed, they’re actually the some of the first things we think of when we try to define what makes Wellington […]

TAWA5 Best BYO

by Joanna November 20, 2010

BYO restaurants to us are places where you can hold a large gathering, you can eat some tasty food, and if you don’t count the cost of your bottle, you can get totally stuffed for around $25. There are a million and one place with BYO licenses in Wellington, but these are the ones that […]
