Wellington for Women

Wellington’s “glam beer hall” Mighty Mighty, “funky little” BATS Theatre and the “legendary” Slow Boat Records are included in a suggested itinerary for “ladies of the world” in the June/July issue of American popular culture publication Bust magazine. Writer Gemma Gracewood describes Wellington as a cross between San Francisco and an Italian fishing village. Gracewood also suggests a visit to the “magnificently restored” Embassy Theatre and then a coffee downstairs at Deluxe, “a tiny café with a South Pacific-kitsch-meets-Day-of-the-Dead aesthetic.” And “for two-wheeler gals, there are the twenty trails in Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park” to navigate, “some of which afford awesome views of the city. Rent a bike from Mud Cycles and pedal straight there.”  (June/July 29)
