The Library has opened!
- Texture
- Wellington's newest boutique cocktail and dessert bar, The Library, opened its doors two weeks ago and, as I discovered, offers something a little different to its debaucherous Courtenay Place peers… a reading room.

Epic Cafe is Dead - Long Live 'Relish'
- Texture
- The former Epic Cafe is about to be reborn, and out of the ashes we get to welcome Relish, blinking like a newborn in the Wellington light.

Maranui Surf Life Saving Club and Cafe Update
- Maranui Surf Life Saving Club
- With the devastating fire that gutted Maranui Surf Lifesaving Club and Cafe in the early hours of Saturday, some good had to come. First of all, the Maranui family would like to say how blown away we have all been with the extraordinary support the community has shown in what does feel like a wake of sorts. The building itself will all-but certainly be rebuilt, and we will be updating any developments here as soon as they come to light, but it is the irreplaceable things that are the saddest loss.

Portofino
- Eye of the Fish
- The opening of the new restaurant Portofino in the base of the Meridian building will add nicely to the ambience of the Kumutoto area, making a triumverate of eateries / drinkeries that is a little Wellington all in itself.

Compassionate Charitable Coffee
- Texture
- Yip. We all heard about it. Wellington's finest kitsch-1940's-styled-Lyall-Bay-based Maranui Surf Life Saving Club and Cafe was a fiery inferno in the early hours of Saturday morning last weekend. Initially, charred like a lava rock, it looked doubtful whether this prominent seaside haven would be restored, BUT with overwhelming support from Wellington City Council, Wellington businesses and the Wellington community at large it will be.
