We asked its team to tell us the two things that it loves about Ponsonby.
Alannah: “For me, it has to be the food! Ponsonby has so many amazing places to eat and I love finding a new hidden gem down an unsuspecting alleyway. Street Eats has become a fast favourite. Secondly, I love the mix of people and the ‘anything goes’ attitude. Everyone is so diverse, individual and unique.”
Caroline: “5 at 5 at Revelry Bar on a sunny Friday afternoon, The perfect work/leisure balance at Metro Law that comes from being situated in the cultural hub of Auckland.”
Hugo: “I like the bustle of the main strip combined with the tucked away pockets of greenery. Western Park has such an enchanting atmosphere and is a really calming escape from the ratrace. Ponsonby Food Court is always jam packed and has such an eclectic mix of cheapeats. Even after years I still never tire of the Vietnamese Stew or Malaysian Laksa.”
Lucy: “Furry person Fridays and the firemen opposite our building.”
Mac: “Sunsoaked bars, and winegums from Jairam’s Dairy & Flower Shop.”
Mel: “Dumpling Tuesdays at Xiao Dan, coffee and horoscopes at Fred’s Cafe.
Michael: “Music at the Golden Dawn - Tavern of Power and the quiet calm of the Ponsonby Pool Hall.”
Rico: “Dizengoff Cafe and Mea Culpa.”
