I\u2019ve always gone with friends\u202fand pushed myself on the spice front. So there\u2019s been a fair few sweaty, nose-blowing experiences. Love it!<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">The place to take a visitor?<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Piha. The bush walks, waterfall, beach, views, food, it\u2019s got it all. <\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Spot to end a night out?<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Frasers in Mt Eden. Another place I\u2019ve lived near and has been great for coming to after a walk on the maunga. But also great of an evening to come and get dessert. There\u2019s always lots to choose from and a great atmosphere. I have a sweet tooth, so ending a night with dessert makes me very happy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Favourite trail for a hike?<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">There\u2019s lots to choose from but sticking with my love of Piha, there\u2019s a hike you can do from the northern part of Piha, which you can follow all the way to Anawhata Beach, which is real chill \u2013 if you want to escape the busyness of Piha in summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Favourite fish and chip shop?<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Murray in Piha. This place has memories for me being younger (and probably called something different). But I\u2019ve been back recently and it\u2019s great. Delicious kai by the best beach, come on!<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Venue for a gig?<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Basement Theatre in the CBD, always cool stuff on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">Best spot for a bargain?<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">The op shops on Dominion Rd. Lots of cool stuff and exploring Dominion Rd in general is a fun time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FxSPvgIxedhFU\" style=\"display:none\">See Jade Daniels perform in T\u0101ke Kur\u012b: The Dog Tax Rebellion at Te Pou Theatre, Auckland from October 28-November 1; Turner Centre, Kerikeri, on November 12; the Rawene Town Hall on November 13; and Artworks Theatre, Waiheke on November 20 and 21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Best restaurant for dinner with friends?
