Leaving a paper trail
- The Wellingtonista
- We've raved about Monterey Bar before, but just quickly, we want to point you to their blog on which they display the best of the artworks drawn on their paper-covered tables. You have to wonder about what was going on when this divorce settlement was written, or what exactly is wrong with these tights - but I could tell you the backstory to Senor Handsome if you ask nicely.

Cyclists who cruise are awesome, cyclists who whoosh are not

- Cycle Aware Wellington has a cute campaign going to encourage cyclists to ride nicely on the waterfront. It involves handing out freebies: bells and lights. If there's anything we at the Wellingtonista endorse, it's freebies and nice cyclists. More details here.

This job is pretty rubbish
- The Wellingtonista
- Remember when rubbish collectors used to come up and collect from your bins at the back of the house, even when you lived up big steep pathways? Good times. Anyway, here's a mini documentary called Dusties from NZ on Screen for your Friday afternoon viewing. Enjoy!

Review: Lagerfield
- The Wellingtonista
- Last year, for the second time in a row, Team Wellingtonista won the Webstock Pub Quiz (we intend to win it this year too, by the way). Our prize was a $300 tab for Lagerfield at 21 Blair Street. Having been there late at night when it was full of munters, I was not overwhelmed with enthusiasm, but as it turns out, it was a lovely experience.
