Best restaurant for dinner with friends?<\/p>\n
Hot and Spicy Pot, Dominion Rd, next question. <\/p>\n
The place to take a visitor?<\/p>\n
The last time I took a visitor somewhere, I took my brother to Running Grid! It\u2019s a light-up floor game: step on the green tiles to get points and avoid the red. It\u2019s so much fun! Take your friends and your inhaler. <\/p>\n
Best spot to finish a night out?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a 32-year-old grandma and the best spot is with my cats Loco and Punk, but when the mole emerges it\u2019s gotta be Gogo\u2019s Music Cafe. Vibes and feast unmatched. <\/p>\n
Best coffee?<\/p>\n
My favourite place to get an oat hot chocolate is The Alderman. The weekend wizards alchemise the foam into velvet. As for coffee \u2013 I prefer to make mine at home. NZ brand Riley coffee from Woolworths is the owl\u2019s hoot!<\/p>\n
Favourite trail for a hike?<\/p>\n
Upper Nihotupu Dam, a smorgasbord for the vision; two different waterfalls AND a reservoir. Probably more suited to flip-flops than Te Awakauwahaia, but sneakers still recommended. <\/p>\n
Favourite fish and chip shop?<\/p>\n
My regular haunt is Sunny Takeaways, Bruce McLaren Rd. Crab stick and chicken salt chippies please. <\/p>\n
Venue for a gig?<\/p>\n
Some of my favourite shows I have seen have been at Q and Basement Theatre.\u202fTheatre is absolute magic and our artists in NZ are athletes.\u202fRecently a lot of arts organisations have had funding cuts or have lost funding all together.\u202fArt is how humans make sense out of being alive.\u202fIt\u2019s election year. Make your voice and vote count and check\u202fout what\u2019s out there! It\u2019ll knock your socks off.<\/p>\n
Best spot for a bargain?<\/p>\n
$1.99 Lotte Ok-Susu ice cream and $3.50 rose topokki snacks at Wang Mart, Henderson. Run, don\u2019t walk. <\/p>\n
See Karishma Grebneff in Prayas Theatre\u2019s production of Mama Moo, on at TAPAC from September 21\u201326.
