Best restaurant for dinner with friends?<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t go there often, but every time I\u2019ve gone to Coco\u2019s Cantina with my friends, I\u2019ve laughed so hard I peed a little. I think that means it\u2019s my favourite place to dine with friends? I don\u2019t make the rules. My bladder does. <\/p>\n
The place to take a visitor?<\/p>\n
I love taking visitors to Cazador for dinner (sorry, if you don\u2019t eat meat \u2026 this one\u2019s not for you). <\/p>\n
Best spot to finish a night out?<\/p>\n
My house (location unspecified). I will make you liquorice tea and force dark chocolate upon you. Once the mood is set, I\u2019ll hold your hand, you\u2019ll tell me all your deep, dark secrets, and we\u2019ll giggle. <\/p>\n
Best coffee?<\/p>\n
I love getting a \u201cfat black\u201d from Little Bird Caf\u00e9. If you know, you know. When I want to treat myself, I usually end up there with a coffee and one of their deliciously dangerous cheesecakes (it needs chocolate in it, just so we\u2019re clear). <\/p>\n
Favourite trail for a hike?<\/p>\n
Give me the Karamatura Falls hike any day. <\/p>\n
Favourite fish and chip shop?<\/p>\n
I am severely allergic to everything in a fish and chip shop. I cannot guide you in the right direction. <\/p>\n
Venue for a gig?<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve never not enjoyed going to The Powerstation. I had the pleasure of performing there once with Auckland\u2019s best metal band, Demons of Noon (check \u2018em out). It was, excuse my French, sick. <\/p>\n
Best place to find a bargain?<\/p>\n
Hard to Find Books. If you\u2019re like me and love strange books that are hard to find (sorry, I had to), you\u2019ll find diamonds here.<\/p>\n
Sophie Jackson will perform in Cabaret – The Musical at The Kit Kat Club, an Auckland Theatre Company and Auckland Live\u2019s production, proudly supported by Auckland Council Events.
