It's a Sign

I love a good sign and when it's on a classic old building now housing one of the capital's best restaurants, so much the better. Once the National Bank of New Zealand, this wonderful ediface sits on the corner of Cuba and Vivian Streets - a scruffy (though trendy) area that belies the elegance and sophistication of the dining experience within.

I love the way cities morph and change in this way - a bank giving way to a restaurant, a former shady, redlight district giving way to hip boutique stores and posh restaurants and trendy cafes. It's what makes a city interesting.

Dining in Style

Cuba Street, Wellington. April 2009. Ajr

You’ve all seen them on television, driving around provincial New Zealand fossicking for all our best edibles, and this is where they hang out – Logan Brown, one of Wellington’s finest restaurants. I always think there’s a lovely irony in the fact that the restaurant is located in an old bank building (very cute) in the middle of what was once Wellington’s thriving red-light district (and possibly still is). http://www.loganbrown.co.nz/
