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

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] That_whisky_guy@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] jevon@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

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