Anything you recommend from the place you mentioned above?

Have to admit that from the restaurants we've hit up so far the food has been fantastic and cheap 'heaps of salmon dishes'.
LOL depends who can get time off work..

Ummm get ALL of it.. I just try a bit of everything tbh..

the other places to go.. (My old hangouts)

Benediction Cafe (Go for Brunch)
30 Saint Benedicts Street
Newton 1010,
(09) 309 5001

Gina's Italian Kitchen - Awesome Italian... waiting staff sing etc very entertaining but you must book.
161 Symonds Street
Eden Terrace 1010, New Zealand
(09) 302 2061

If you get the time also head out West and go mountain biking at Woodhill Forrest. You can hire a decent bike and there is some awesome tracks out that way..



Make sure you check out the West Coast Beaches... I reckon Piha Beach or Muriwai if your heading out to go mountain biking.

Piha



Muriwai



Plenty of good spots to stop and get lunch (vinyards etc).

If you can head out to Waihiki Island for a day trip (about 40 mins on the Ferry).



Pubs/Clubs.. depends what Genre you're into.

I usually frequent Red Bar.. Not a bad little spot.

Red Bar
57 Pitt St
Auckland 1010, New Zealand
(09)849 2208

Let me know how you go.

Don't make eye contact when walking down Queen street.
Stay away from K road, especially after dark.
Head towards the bay of islands, eat sea food.
If its adventure you want, get a drink at any pub in Otara.

Hey Mitch, thanks for all the great info from all the above I would love to do the biking 'sounds awesome'. One thing I have to say is for the small amount of time I've been here 'so far 4 days', I've had salmon 4 different ways and it's been 4 different types of fucking FANTASTIC!!. The food here is beautiful and VERY cheap 'cross-comparison Perth WA'. Only complaints would be the cost of Taxi fairs and the bullshit price per ltr the locals have to pay.

Has been as high as $2.50ltr but averages around $2.15 per ltr for general unleaded. Apparently it's been caped at $2.15 per ltr in Christchurch due to the devastation 'heh generous'.

Factor in that at the same time diesel sells for around '$1.60-$1.70', it's a real eye opener re: the bs prices of petrol.

Will also try and checkout the other locations you've mentioned as the locations lo



Any additional info greatly appreciated Mitch.

Cheers,

Mark
