was the perfect pick for Summer Shakespeare, traditionally held in the Dell in Wellington’s Botanical Gardens at night in the middle of summer, but then the production moved to the basement theatre at Te Whaea in Newtown, and things pivoted from the usual. newtown botanic-gardens places blogs featured Fri, 14 Feb 2020 00:00:00 GMT

community display-window where the Conscientious Objectors’ memorials absent Pukeahu Park quietly underscore ANZAC celebrations — runs a narrow path marking the spine of Tangi-te-Keo (later Mt Victoria). newtown libraries places blogs featured Sun, 01 May 2016 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/2016/05/01/up-alexandra-road/ The Wellingtonista 2016-05-01T00:00:00Z -41.3110524 174.7780368

Peoples’ is shut until Monday, as is the café at the Med. The only option I have located thus far is Eva Dixon’s at the Zoo (which was a lovely walk in the sun) but resulted in a small latté in a large takeaway cup topped by prodigious amounts of froth, cost me $5.20 including the surcharge, and tasted like filth. So, tomorrow I need a better option.
