Wellington runs on coffee, but only a few places are truly award-worthy. When we get coffee, we want the option of having something to eat with it. We want a good selection of reading material while we wait. We want witty banter and/or eyecandy from the barista. And naturally, the coffee has to be excellent as well!

One month until #T4WA!

Ooooh boy, we are very excited little puppies inside the Wellingtonista Towers today because it’s exactly one month until the Fourth Annual Wellingtonista Awards (or the TAWAs for short, and specifically #T4WA on twitter).

Nominations will start appearing this week so you can go and check out who we’re recommending, and then voting will be open from December 1-14. 

On the night of December 17, you’ll want to get your ass down to Mighty Mighty, pay your $10 on the door, and let the good times begin. The awards presentation should be happening around 7.30pm, and then at 9.30pm we are very excited to have the Klezmer Rebs playing tunes for us all to shake our tuchasses to!

If you’d like to help us make the night even more awesome by providing goodies for giveaways to our lovely readers, flick me an email – johubris at gmail. 

And if you’re feeling nostalgic or you didn’t manage to make it along last year, relive the Third Annual Wellingtonistas event here.
