No poison at this PoissonHead afterparty
We know that you are gutted (like a fish!) that you can’t party with us at the TAWAs this year (so gutted you couldn’t even comment, apparently). Luckily, we DO have a way for you to get your party on with some fabulous Wellington media types anyway! Presenting: the FishHead magazine afterparty! This Thursday December […]
Deluxe is deluxe
One of the most exciting and stimulating things about living in Wellington is the fact the our cinemas are continually reinvesting in their facilities and always trying to top each other in quality of fit out and customer experience. What have we done to deserve this!? This year the burghers of Miramar got the Ming […]
Urban Harvest
Urban Harvest is a Wellington-based company that delivers locally grown produce, meat and other culinary delights. For the festive season, they’ve branched out into Christmas hampers, and have opened a pop-up shop in their Mt Victoria headquarters (29 Hania St) for those who like to get up close with their yuletide nomz. The Wellingtonista were […]
Bright lights but tasty food at R&S Satay Noodle House
Over the past couple of months I have been reviewing Malaysian restaurants all around Wellington for Malaysia Kitchen (full disclosure – I got refunded some of the costs). It’s time to share the reviews! I have gone past R&S Satay Noodle House thousands of times in my life as it’s in a prime position but I’d never […]
Wendy’s comes to town
There have been rumours for a while that a Wendy’s was coming to Wellington, and finally I received a report from the Kapiti: a Wendy’s had just opened in Paraparaumu. Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers – not to be confused with the Australian ice cream parlour chain Wendy’s Supa Sundaes – is an American burger chain […]
We’ve got a craft fair tomorrow
Saturday is Election Day, but more importantly (to me at least) it’s Christmas Knack Day. All I can assume is the PM woke up one morning and thought “how can I make voting more fun?”, and thus Election Day and Knack got married, and now you can get your craft on and vote all at […]
Everyone knows Wellington is a (Satay) Village
Over the past couple of months I have been reviewing Malaysian restaurants all around Wellington for Malaysia Kitchen (full disclosure – I got refunded some of the costs). It’s time to share the reviews! With so many Malaysian restaurants to choose from in the capital, sometimes the decision simply comes down to whereabouts you are at any […]
Wellywood: blown away
So apparently we voted for the Wellington sign that’s being blown away. Naturally, Robbie Ellis has even more to say about it.
The home of the schnapps election
‘Zumwohl’ doesn’t sound like something that originates in Wellington, but it turns out that Ulf Fuehrer (apparently a real name!) and his Aotearoa Distilleries Ltd company that makes the award-winning schnapps are based right here. Add that location to our love of public servants expressing opinions, our twitter addiction, our mutual admiration agreement with Public […]
