The Library - 3 October, Level 1, 53 Courtenay Place

God I used to love Cabaret.  It was an impressive cocktail bar-slash-music venue that really complimented its neighbouring establishments of Chow and Motel. But the Cab’ met an untimely end (In my book), and we were left with another hotspot that never quite achieved the potential that it had promised. 2009 brings something different, with ...

Need an alcohol-fuelled pick me up?!

I know I do… especially in the crisp winter months when I need a tad more encouragement to enjoy a night on the town … so what are our options?!Well of course there is the over-done and over-priced Red Bull and Vodka, but I’m sick of this AND I’m pretty sure my body has now become immune to the once seductive taurine hit.  So let me ...

Absinthe Makes the Heart Grow Fonder - Corpse Destroyer 2 at Chow...

Absinthe is my spirit of choice. All last summer, we drank Death in the Afternoon - a cocktail invented by that roguish writer Ernest Hemingway. A simple and winning combination of champagne and absinthe, it's one of the most pleasant ways to drink the luminous green spirit which is the closest thing to an hallucinogenic drug an alcohol can ...

Chow down at Chow

Monday nights are always a bit of a mish.  Start of the working/studying week and still tired/hung-over from the weekend.  Everything just seems that little bit too hard. Pleasure and respite can only be found in a tasty dinner (Which is cooked by somebody else).  Free yourself from the slavery of the kitchen and get your ass down ...

Ice-Cream: A Summer Food Fantasia

When you feel like your shoes are melting to the pavement and you’re seeing that shimmering effect off in the distance, it’s time for one thing. Ice-cream. Smooth, creamy, melt in your mouth, tastier than that boy or girl you had a crush on in high school, ice-cream.  Don’t get me wrong - gelato’s, frozen yoghurt’s and sorbets are all good, ...

How to get over your hangover

Summer is all about excesses, over the past few weeks I've heard many complaints about extra kilograms gained from going home to parents who are intent on feeding their beloved children up, there is also the excessive sun soaking, and most notably, excessive drinking. This is a definite problem for me in this sweet season, and while it's ...

What's in a name?

When it comes to cocktails, there seems to be a bid for the most original cocktail name in Wellington. Not content with the usual martini, mule or cosmopolitan, some of the best bars on offer here have really put on their thinking caps, or maybe their drinking pants, in choosing what to call their fine creations. Sweet Mother's Kitchen sticks to ...

Takeout from two different worlds

It’s that thing you hear from your flatmates and partners about the same time Hillary Barry cranks into her routine on the six o’clock news.  “I can’t be bothered cooking, do you wanna just grab some takeout?”  Hell yeah! Unfortunately, this is usually followed up by some rather contentious decision-making - trying to ...

How to be a Vegan in Wellington

I came to Wellington nearly four years ago, and one of the things I was most excited about was the huge selection of cafes and restaurants that happily cater for vegans. While I gave up that lifestyle a few years after the move, I can still say, being a vegan in Wellington is easy as, so if you are thinking of making the switch then this guide ...
