It's here! Starting tomorrow, Wellington will be covered in foodsters from the city and beyond, all feasting on the two week food frenzy that is Wellington On a Plate.
The NZ International Film Festival is finishing up this weekend, two we'd recommend seeing are Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel and The Sapphires.
We've also got a couple of competitions up our sleeves with Wellington in a Pint brews and yummy oysters from the Oyster Saloon to win. | |
