Fun Things to Do In Wellington This Summer

| Fried Chicken, Curly Fries and 'slaw from Sweet Mother's |
(In no particular order)
1.
Eat & Drink
Sweet Mother’s Kitchen – Home-style
American food at the Mount Vic end of Courtenay Place. Enjoy a peanut butter
shake, a burrito or some curly fries. Get in early as it’s no secret this place
is good!
Scopa – The only place to buy a
Hot Chocolate in the capital; thick, creamy and a perfect accompaniment when
exploring the city at night. I doubt you’ve ever tried anything the same.
2.
Shop
Space Suit – David Bane Jerseys, Dungarees,
& velvet dresses, just a sample of what you will find at this quirky
fashion store on Cuba. Styles are either imported international vintage or new
and on trend.
ALC (A Lost Cause) – Locally
owned and operated clothing label also on Cuba St, producing graphic t-shirts
and hoodies with Wellington’s tattoo culture influence.
Good As Gold - Premier fashion
and street-wear boutique home to top quality brands from New Zealand and
overseas including Cheap Monday, Karen Walker, WESC, & Stolen Girlfriends
Club. They can be found in their über cool store on Victoria Street.
3. View
Kirkcaldie & Stains – The
famous Christmas Shop, located on the second floor of the Kirks department
store on Lambton Quay. Here you will find gorgeous Christmas displays and decorations of every shape, colour and
size. Bring out your inner child!
Street Art – Wellington is famous
for its street art, and it’s not hard to find some amazing works just by
walking around the city. Some of my favourite pieces can be found on and around
the Cuba Street-Ghuznee Street-Taranaki Street area, including Young Gifted and
Broke by BMD on Wigan Street.
The Harbour at night – Walk down
to Lambton Harbour after dark and you will see another side of this beautiful
city. The lights across the water are just stunning, and the whole waterfront
is so inviting.
