TAWA5 Best Suburban Destination

The sub­urbs. Love them or loathe them, they sur­round every city. And loath­ing the sub­urbs out of some sort of twis­ted inner-city-cent­ric impulse is pretty short-sighted – espe­cially when you could be enjoy­ing the fol­low­ing:

TAWA5 Best Contribution to the Internet from Wellington

Giv­en that Wel­ling­ton is the web cap­it­al of New Zea­l­and, it makes sense that it’s full of people doing awe­some things with and for the web.

TAWA5 Best Event

There’s always some­thing to do in this town we love, but these are the pick of the crop, and are circled in red on our cal­en­dars. We’re count­ing the sleeps until next year’s events!

TAWA5 Best Late Night Experience

Things get a little dif­fer­ent in town once the sun goes down. For many, includ­ing us, this is the best time of day. What do we do in the dark­ness? Well that would be telling, but these are the places you’ll find us.

TAWA5 Best Shopping Experience

Stuff, glor­i­ous stuff,  oh how we love to take you home with us.  These are the places we go to win­dow lick, tire kick and buy, buy, buy.  Love your work, people.

Some­times, we need to look up from that mon­it­or and get ourselves some Vit­am­in D from the big sol­ar dis­penser. Here are some of our favour­ite out­doors places:

TAWA5 Best Service

What makes a cafe/bar/restaurant a place to you want to return to over and over again? Simple. It is people, it is people, it is people. And these are some of the finest people in town.

TAWA5 Most Needed

We love this town. But, and we’d nev­er admit this to any­one not-from-here, there are a few things that we could do with in Wel­ling­ton. Here’s some of them:

TAWA5 Best Regular Entertainment

As we know, Wel­ling­ton is full of fun things to do, and on a reg­u­lar basis. Wheth­er giv­ing us some­thing to eat, some­thing to groove to, or some­thing to yell about, these are the events that kept us com­ing back for seconds.
