Since we're pretty much all new here it would be cool imti know roughly where you are in the Wellington region.

I'm Masterton/Wairarapa based but I head into the City for work fairly often.

Town. I love how everything here is within walking distance, it's probably my most favorite Welly feature, and it's also why I'm reluctant to move elsewhere!

I used to live just next to the new convention centre, it was pretty awesome being able to walk everywhere

It's funny how "walking distance" means something different to Wellington folk compared to others. Everyone else walks so slow.

Brooklyn. Much hill, many wind.

The paragon of refined culture and fancy pantsery that is the lower Hutt Valley

Whitby.. still counts. I can just make out the weather in Wellingtons direction.

Awesome! Have they gotten any new restaurants you'd recommend?

[–] jevon@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pranah does amazing (cheap & healthy) vegetarian/vegan lunches, Curry Heaven is my go-to indian place, and Cafe Laz kebabs are top notch!!

[–] That_whisky_guy@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago

Oooo excellent! I'll have to try them out next time I can!

I'm in the distant suburb of Auckland.

[–] That_whisky_guy@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ahh yes, one of our most north suburbs!

Welcome!

That's taking 'inclusive' to dangerously new territory, cuz! Remember the great traffic light incident of '64...

(Or something)
