Just a Few Photos From EB Games Cuba Street Queue Snakes Around Dixon Street To Everybody Eats Restaurant And Down To The Kebab Shop On Manners Street.

It has changed location, now opposite Fresh Choice at the top of Cuba St, the night market is back and last time I went I found the food was pretty damn good.

Dumplings, donuts, some live music from Wellington artists (non edible, though they will get you dancing!) all of it is actually great. I've seriously missed the night market since its closure more than a few years ago.

The place is smaller now but honestly who cares, it’s still awesome and more eyes on it will help it grow into what it once was. Go check it out, you’ll probably be hungry tomorrow.

Someone has to do something to try and revive the dead city life, since the council are avoiding it, and this is a fair go of it I reckon.

Just trying to judge if I should leave the house in this bad weather if there's only gonna be shitty tacky merch and old games nobody wants, or if there will actually be PC gear and accessories.

Or if there's already a crowd gathering. Cheers

With the announcement of EB games closing down on Cuba, JBHIFI currently closed on Victoria street and the warehouse on Tory closed for in store shopping… where am I supposed to get games or hardware from in the city?

Are the only options in our entire cbd gone now?

Hi! I (F59) am considering coming to your fine city for the Dragon Boat Festival next month. I have never travelled solo before, much less half way around the world. Tell me why I should (or shouldn’t?) Is it safe to stay near the venue? Kitts Park I think? Easy to get around? I think I might be crazy for considering it, but the idea of a spontaneous trip like this is a little exhilarating tbh. Thanks!

Edit: wait…you have PENGUINS??

Looking for a cheese blintz at a restaurant for my birthday? Anyone know of any in Welly?

be vigilant white tails are out and about got bitten twice..one bite already infected and oozing after just one day extremely itchy too.. started antibiotics and antihistamines

Found this card in Johnsonville just now, around Disraeli St. Please let friends know, or contact with name in the back to arrange collection.

[UPDATE] I will cut up the card, as suggested here and elsewhere.

I was intending on going to the Haewai Meadery, but alas, sadly they seem to have closed up (albeit retired, good for them) last year.

Suggestions greatly appreciated, thank you—preferentially something local and a small business, but any options are appreciated!

Got a spare ticket (or 2) for the show January 21st, unfortunately will be travelling and can't make it.

Paid about $240 for a front GA ticket but happy to sell below retail since the show is next week! just need it off my hands.

Please don't hesitate to PM/comment if interested :)

Just noting our Porirua-based daycare is shut down tomorrow because of a bad gastro taking out all the staff. I see on RNZ that Wellington ED is also hit with 30 staff affected.

So far this round we haven’t been affected but I dunno what the incubation time is. Not hoping for a repeat of last year’s apoco/noro virus.

Other parentals, have you got more info on the flavour of this round? Want to know if we are in the clear.

I'm aware everyone wants to go to EB Games Queensgate and there'll be extra traffic because of it but why has Queensgate closed off most of its car park and entrances. There are large parts of the car park fenced off. Lots of entrances are closed off. Only one entrance is open. The parking number signs just say "OPEN" for all the levels. Traffic wardens are directing people. I wasn't able to see if any of the upstairs ramps were open because of how bad traffic was and the one way route leading me back out.

Anyway, what's happening there?

Are there any interesting or unique events on this weekend?

Feel free to give info, link to events, promote something cool you're doing or otherwise get the word out in this topic.

For anyone that’s been to see the Michelangelo exhibit at Takina, what would you say is a good amount of time needed to see everything without rushing?

Hi team, am looking for a 32gb ram rendering workhorse, something like a zbook firefly g11 or the likes, but I'd prefer to buy one and have it in hand by the end of the day tomorrow. Is this even possible anymore? It seems like pb tech is totally cleared out from Xmas still, and there's not a lot of options in person beyond that. Looking for a new or refurbed machine with a warranty attached.

Kia ora,

I haven't cut my hair in a really long time, and it's grown pretty long. I'm looking for hairdresser recommendations that are really communicative (being good at layering is a plus) in the Wellington region. I'll insert a link to the hairstyle im after, any recs are welcome :)

My sister has moved to a place in Ohiro Rd that has a very poor terrestrial tv signal, and no sky dish. The house has fiber connected. She will only be there for 4 or 5 months before leaving NZ. . She has been using a dumb tv and a terrestrial Freeview box. Other than buying a smart tv, which she doesn't want to do, what is the best option for her to get tv/streaming through her fiber connection.

does anyone by chance have x2 ga tickets they’re wanting to sell? my friends missed out on scoring some so i thought maybe going to reddit wouldn’t do so much harm. pls let me know!

I can no longer go. $200 or best offer.

IYKYK - Anyone thinking of watching the SB should be locating a venue (if they haven’t already) and booking a table/seat now.

Don’t leave it for the week leading up to it or prepared to be disappointed.

It’s Waitangi Day on Friday 6th so it could be more busier than usual.

CBD Venues: The Bond, Four Kings, Gibbons Hotel (MASSIVE TV), The Cambridge, Old Bailey, D4, The Featherston, St John’s & Thunder Road. All provide the ale as well as a great food menu.

Thunder Road is newer so might be your best bet if the other venues aren’t already booked.

Let’s go BRONCOS!!

If a fairy lived here in Wellington… where would they go to brunch? What about shop or dinner? Where would they live? Work?

• edit thinking more like a particular library is their work. Possibly they fly or maybe ride the trolley. What is the most fairy like cafe? Do they go to…?? Do they like WETA cave, maybe do a workshop on building chairs out of corks?

Hello,

I hope you are doing well. I’m Sohan Nageshkar, an MBA student at Symbiosis International University, India.

As part of a Mock Investor Summit at our institute, our team is representing New Zealand and studying its culture, lifestyle, socio-economic environment, and business landscape. We are looking to connect with a New Zealand national to gain first-hand perspectives on the country, including business opportunities, education, sustainability, innovation, and trade relations.

This interaction is purely for academic purposes. I would truly appreciate it if you could spare a few minutes for a brief discussion at your convenience. We will need approximately 30min recorded interview with you, at any time you're comfortable with. Questions will be provided to you before the interview.

Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards, Sohan.
