Breaking the Rules

Traditional shopping territories have always been easily defined in downtown Welly.  Cuba, Lambton and Willis have lorded it over the rest, sitting reasonably unchallenged for longer than I can remember. But the late 2000’s brought a change, and out of nowhere came Victoria Street, clambering up the pecking order with some great new ...

Decadent Sunday nibbles at Pollux

ACDC have just steamrolled through town, leaving a trail of unshaven and slightly dazed looking bogans, loose in the city.  It’s almost a bonus that the rain is falling, keeping the streets relatively clear of the black-shirted brigade that had been flooding into the capital over the last few days. But Sunday’s mission remains the same for ...

Brew Bar Spectacular

A well known barista once told me that he thought Supreme was the best coffee brand out of all those regularly used in Wellington cafes.  I suppose he may have been somewhat prejudiced due to what his cafe actually sold, but he had been around the coffee traps for a while so I’m inclined to take him at his word. He’s been out of the game for ...

Welcome to flavour country

Flavour-infused spirits seem to be quite the ‘du jour ‘.  Their unique taste has found a niche as the basis for a new generation of cocktails.  And it doesn’t stop there.   Maybe you’ve tried picking up a bottle of feijoa wine from the supermarket lately?  They tend to sell-out faster than a starving indie band on its last ...

10 Dollar Lunch Saved My Summer

The lead-up to Christmas was a killer on my wallet.  A combination of presents, food, drink and more presents, had me understanding that “the poorhouse” my parents always used to complain about, happened to be just ONE stat-holiday somewhere in my future. And it doesn’t help when everybody wants to go out and do stuff.  Summer + ...

A Good Luck Revolution (On Rollerblades)

There’s a hint of revolution in the air for Good Luck.  Don’t worry, it won’t involve guns or long speech’s about doing it “for freedom”.  It’s all about Jesus on rollerblades and some guy named ''Barry''. That's because Good Luck have gone into transformer mode coming into summer, with all new drinks, features and events, ready to roll ...

Premium Chocolate's are their Passion

False:  Chocolate making is performed by orange skinned little people, singing cutesy songs. True:  Chocolate making is an art that requires passion for the product as well as the ability to think outside of the square. And people can tell when someone screws with the correct chocolate formula.  Cadbury’s attempts to substitute ...

Nights That Shine... Like Rubies

“Ruby... slippers?” “Too Wizard of Oz.  And anybody that kills old ladies by dropping houses on them can’t be all that pleasant (The pig-tails and little dog were just a front).”   “Right.  Ruby Tuesday?“ “I think a certain band may put us through the legal ringer if we tried that one on.”   “Okay.  What about The ...
