30+ Events For Late Night Art | On This Thursday For one night only explore the city after hours for Art Week!

Thursday night is looking great in town thanks to the team at Heart of the City

Pop by Vivace for a wine and tapa or two and revisit your city. She is looking & feeling safer and we swear there are a few less road cones. We are all ready to crack on into the warmer months - even the trains are working (for now)!

30+ Events For Late Night Art | On This Thursday For one night only explore the city after hours for Art Week!

It is so sad seeing work come to an end at the recently topped off Seascape building opposite us. It’s a beautiful building but awful to have to watch as truck after truck pulls up with security overseeing small sub contractors remove what they can. Some look close to tears - none of them know if they are going to get paid for months of work completed by them and the people they employ, and most tell us they have already paid for all the materials they have used on site that cannot be removed.
Years overdue already now, who knows when/if it will be completed. Far more devastating for these subbies, their businesses and the people they employ. Our heart & thoughts go out them and the families they support. 💔

Looks like Thursday is the new Friday this week - with a sleep in on Friday morning why not join us for cocktail hours tomorrow in Vivace Bar? $12 Espresso Martinis, Negronis and Chilli Margaritas

We know of many of our out of town customers who park in this building when they visit the city. Some make a day of it and visit their dentist, doctors, solicitors before joining us for lunch or dinner. Many park overnight there if heading to visit Waiheke over the weekends.
We are still a long time off the CRL being operational - the trains are not operational most weekends into the CBD so this carpark is still vital especially while we try and revive our CBD. There is a way of saving it and earning the ratepayers a huge amount more money.

It’s a gnocchi kind of day…
Golden kumara gnocchi with chicken & rich, creamy tomato or Agria potato gnocchi with slow cooked spiced Moroccan beef ragu & Parmesan- take your pick (or share both!)
