Cityscape Monthly - July 2018

Welcome to our July issue of Cityscape magazine! It’s Plastic Free July, so we’ve got our eco on and show you how you can do your bit for the planet. We travel to foodie destination Wellington for a preview of things to come when Visa Wellington On a Plate descends in the windy city in August. It’s your ultimate insider guide to the edgiest spots in town, where forward thinking culinary geniuses spin their magic and brew alchemists concoct new flavours for your palate. We get an exclusive with Te Vaka’s Opetaia Foa’i about winning Best Soundtrack for Disney’s Moana at Billboard Music Awards, while local boy Jed Parsons tells us about his upcoming tour. Rising star Nakita gives us the lowdown on her new image and sound, and Hamish Gee from The Feelers gets passionate about celebrating 25 years of great music. We checked out 50 Bistro, and were wowed by their on point neo-bistro offerings and flawless wine pairings. We then got our steak on at grill experts Jaba Grill & Bar. We still can’t stop thinking about their Cheviot sourced T-Bone, done to sinful perfection on the Kopa charcoal grill. To spice things up, Green Dinner Table’s Tom Riley shares with us his fiery nasi goreng recipe with scrambled tofu, tamarind, sweet soy and crispy shallots. Washi tape maestro Veronica Herber talks us through her larger-than-life installations, while we put the spotlight on the city’s go-to good-time venue Stranges Lane. As always, you’ll get our signature round-up of the best of the month’s happenings around the city. Go out and enjoy everything the city has to offer!
