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.

Wow that's quality! Is it entrances much, dare I ask?

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

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!

[–] That_whisky_guy 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Dave 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.

I'm in the distant suburb of Auckland.

[–] That_whisky_guy 2 points 2 years 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)

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

[–] That_whisky_guy 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] jevon 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 3 points 2 years ago

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