Local Ponsonby Burger Wisconsin is proud to be part of this New Zealand owned group who are leading the way for delicious and healthy takeaway food.
We have two bun sizes to suit all appetites and we also have gluten free burgers. Social media has been good for some local businesses.

It may be one of the best things you could find on any current menu in this city. With the opening of this vibrant eatery and bar six months ago, the new breed of young chef has arrived on the strip, creating a new direction in dining. Stephen Smith heads the kitchen and he runs his team in full view of the diners in the lower level of the corner-sited two level restaurant.
His chefs and kitchen team work together like the machinery of a well-oiled clock. Everything I have eaten from the Tin Soldier kitchen is totally delicious. Beer is a specialty too, and hooray for a list that features boutique brewers and craft beers. I passed on dessert. The ladies at the next table raved about the sorbets with sherbert and mint so if you pass Tin Soldier in the next few weeks, expect to see me there, eating a couple of desserts. I will return for them. The restaurant opened with a veritable rumble from day one, but there were lots of complaints early on about the level of noise from patrons who were deafened by other loud diners, and by some perhaps inappropriately chosen music.
Everyone who was anyone was weighing in with opinion. The husband hoovered that one up instantly with not a thought for me. The husband who dotes on fish had enjoyed fresh snapper served on cauliflower cream with caperberries and Serrano ham on his first visit. This time he got the terakihi with soy, butternut, furikaki and black sesame, wasabi, shiitake and radish. The chef had nailed it. I loved a light lamb dish with some spicy capsicum coulis, goat ricotta and little olives — a homage to spring.
Now large carpets have softened the wooden floors, the music is a little softer and all is well. When we dined on a Thursday evening last week, even the DJ was subdued enough to be almost unobtrusive, but he still managed to create a hip atmosphere for the lounge lizards hanging about the bar.
He had met Kiwi people living in his home town in the Basque Country in France, and they fitted so well in to the French lifestyle that he was sure New Zealand would suit him, his wife and children, but he knew he needed more than one good reason to settle in New Zealand. The first reason was to use his charcutier background.
The second reason was to create a bodega tapas bar. Philippe is proud to make traditional French products. In my culture, drink and food is one of the most important things and for big family events like Christmas or Easter, we can spend six to seven hours around the table. A time to smell the sun block and barbecue smoke, feel the sand between your toes and listen to cricket on the radio.
And time to embrace wines and drinks that can stand a bit of chilling and match well with outdoor entertaining, salads, BBQs and our fabulous fresh Auckland seafood. Delicately toasty, rounded and with a lengthy palate. Flavours of ripe peach, hazelnut, cape gooseberry and tropical fruits.

We all love summer and the entertaining opportunities it brings The amazing sweet flavour comes from the blend of licorice root, apple pieces, lemongrass and peppermint which leaves you feeling energised and refreshed.

We had our 26th birthday this year and to celebrate we gave our shop a beautiful makeover. Moa collective began her early life in the shop opposite now Monterey cafe. We were young artists and screenprinters selling our wares through sharing a wee shop which we staffed between us. In those early days we became quickly popular appealing to the taste of many of the local residents. After 18 months we moved over the road to our current shop and have been settled there ever since. Over time we evolved, stepping up as designers of our own original labels.
We moved from the kitchen floor to the basement garage and on to our individual workrooms. Our production team expanded in the 90s, and during this period we produced some highly original fashion shows. In the s we held in season shows at NZ fashion week. Technology and the evolution of sophistication we embraced, yet fundamentally our values are the same.
Our ethos continues to be proudly New Zealand made and we still remain those original local women supporting and serving the community in which we grew our business. We are also very excited to be introducing to MOA, a new jeweller Kim Jobson, whose range is made by hand in silver with a hint of gold, inspired by life on a farm by the Waikato river.

Yes, it seems silly - they are only underpants - but for many, including ourselves, they are worn as a foundation garment and as a basis in which to live. And we promise that Thunderpants will always be made in New Zealand, we believe in supporting our local economy both nationally and regionally. Thunderpants are made of certified organic cotton and manufactured up the road from Thunderpants HQ Martinborough in Carterton. Being New Zealand made is a good marketing spiel but at the core of Thunderpants is lifestyle.

Opened in September by self-confessed magpie Brigit Timpson, Covet deftly weaves old and new, fashion items, vintage ornaments and homewares all under the same sweetly scented roof.
The eclectic mix is something that Timpson deliberately set out to achieve after the success of her first store in Monterey, California. Everything is being sold on behalf of consigned , which means that you can experiment with selling all kinds of things. Most people just did clothing, but I saw an opportunity to branch out into other areas that were interesting to me.
I approached artists, jewellers, glass blowers and other artisans and offered them the opportunity to sell to a captive audience. I would end up having to ship boxes home for tourists that were over their baggage limit. The original keys from these machines are set in sterling silver and are all hand crafted. The typewriter was an engineering feat. We take for granted that the paper sits in a stationary tray, so to invent a machine with a moving carriage seems novel today. These cufflinks, rings and lapel pins are very popular as wedding, birthday, anniversary and Christmas presents; or for the person who has everything.
They are made to order and it is fun to arrange the letters and numbers according to the recipient. As these typewriters become rarer, no two are the same, so the fonts and colours vary.

Dear Aunt Adae I trust that you and Uncle George are well and enjoying a more pleasant summer in Palmerston North than we are presently experiencing in Auckland. We have been troubled by a most disagreeable wind that was with us for a full week before suddenly ceasing yesterday around noon. I had my eye on a pretty cloche made of fine Italian straw that was decorated most tastefully with h French handmade silk flowers. You can probably guess how it ended up after fter the accident - yes, completely crushed, as is my luck!
Att the time I found it I was pondering the perennial question of Christmas presents esents - you know - who would appreciate something I made and who would uld not! As mother assures me annually that you are of the former species, s, I would like to make you a little something useful with my excavated treasure! It would look lovely made up as a simple overdress verdress perhaps with a peach silk full slip orr a lovely long stole. They had some out for tasting and they were delicious!
Lots of lovely fruity soft centres covered with lashings of milk ilk chocolate. I hatched a plan then and there to buy boxes of chocolates olates for some of my friends instead of making them a new stole. With the longer evenings I am inclined to take more walks, and Tiger is of course enjoying this immensely. I find it allows me time to clear my head as well as stretch my legs and focus my eyes on things a little more distant than the cutting table and sewing machine. Tiger finds it provides him with numerous opportunities to disappear from sight for ages at a time and give his poor owner conniptions.
The new growth is the most delicious green and I adore the shape of the leaves. I am now trying to devise costume designs incorporating oak leaves. I think the idea will work well in any season if the appropriate colours aare selected. I have already decided on a design for one clien client in particular who I know will definitely order it for one of her many summer parties. My sketch depicts a simple short-sleeved dress with a round neckline and a dropped waistline. I thin think that might be enough.
Do you h matter? Actually I might just be inclined to keep this one for myself! Sometimes I feel especially when jealous of my customers, cu I use up one of my brilliant ideas and it is not fully appreciated. Well, dearest Aunty, until I see you at Christmas,. I would be delighted to receive one off these as a gift the lemon colour our was very pretty.
They had some lovely manicure sets that were in heart-shaped celluloid boxes es in pastel colours. The boxes and d the handles looked like pearl shell…most ll…most attractive and very reasonably onably priced I thought. So it is disappointing that we have had to get caught up in the financial crisis of the last few years, even if we may have escaped the worst of it. A review of our much loved fashion stores has shown that even the best are finding the market slower than they would like.
Construction work, constant roading and footpath work, has slowed foot traffic on many parts of Ponsonby Road, Jervois Road and adjacent streets, and exacerbated an already difficult parking problem. The new MacKelvie Street shops, with the quirky Richard Naish design, are open, and when earthquake strengthening along Ponsonby Road is complete, the shopping environment around that Ponsonby precinct will be greatly enhanced. This should help tills to ring more loudly and more often. Parking will still be an ongoing problem; Ponsonby Road is a very long street - too long for most to want to walk its length.
Claire Kingan Jones reported that her store was all energy and buzz last Saturday, and she is optimistic about trade in Ponsonby residents, and women in particular, need to decide which businesses are too valuable for Ponsonby to lose, and support them. I still use that motto for my Ponsonby Business Directory. In order to build and maintain a friendly cooperative community, residents and business owners must realise that they both need each other, and act accordingly.
The elephant in the room as far as many retail businesses is concerned, is the online competition. It seems to be a part of our throw- away culture. One counter to the online fanatics, is to deliver strong customer service. It will complement your hair and bring out the blue of your eyes. It will go well with your boots too. Some women are buying perhaps two pieces a season when in better times they were buying maybe ten.
And so, there is no magic wand that will fill the tills of Ponsonby stores, but a number of small things can be done to entice locals to appreciate, check out and buy the quality garments from our outstanding, hard working, professional fashion designers. It will be just like a mall - full of overseas owned and made chain store clothes.
I moved in above Presentz with my then boyfriend - now husband, Barry, after a stint overseas in Independent of my flatting arrangement upstairs I began to help Bridget, the previous owner, manage Presentz when she had her baby. This was the first time I had worked in a retail environment and I really thrived on it. She sold to me in and Presentz has been rocking along ever since. The colour and vibrancy of Presentz never fails to make me happy.
Along with tried and true suppliers, I enjoy taking risks with new suppliers and I love choosing cool and beautiful new products for the store, many of them made here in New Zealand. Make Christmas memorable with diamond earrings - classic, timeless, and understated and can be worn every day and everywhere and passed down through the family and treasured forever.
How inventive you get is up to you. Then the excitement begins of planning when to propose, you could simply disguise the Auckland Ring Company jewellery box in a larger box and put it under the tree, or you could hang the engagement ring on the tree and wait until it is discovered! Recently a customer came in for a squiz and I helped her sort out all 19 children in her extended family for Christmas.
Gift-wrapped, labelled, done and dusted in October! Probably a musical hero. PJ Harvey or Warren Ellis. There are loads of long -term customers who I love to see when they pop in.

Prepare damp hair by spraying in Moroccanoil Frizz Control and blow -waving smooth. Curl your mid-lengths and ends by taking big sections, spraying them with Davines 9 Structuring Mist and wrapping around the Cloud Nine Micro Wand. Moisturise your roots using Davines DEDE Mist, comb into a tight pony on your crown and secure with a hair bungee or tie.
Backcomb at the base of the ponytail to create volume, then gently brush forward and across over the surface. Paddle brush the end half of the pony so all of the curls unite into one. Fold and shape the hair into a conch shell shape, using plenty of hairspray to hold the style in place.
You live in the right part of town! Our local experts are here to give you tips and tricks for festive season grooming - and this being Ponsonby, you can be sure they are cutting edge. YOU are so ! Start by sourcing some colourful clip-in hair extensions. You can coordinate the shades with your outfit, or go crazy with 12 different colours at once. Prep your dry hair simply by backcombing a little bit at the roots.
If your hair is dead straight and fine, you might want to add some loose curl with The Wand. Secure with a small hair tie. Finish by sprinkling through Evo Haze styling powder from roots to ends, messing up the braids with your hands and a tail comb. This festive season is all about rebelling from the worries of the world and having a bit of fun with your hair. Assuming your hair is excellently cut, coloured and treated by a professional, these transformative looks should be easy to achieve at home. If needed, straighten your midlengths and ends with an iron, using Davines MELU Shield to protect against thermal damage.
Brush your hair into a tight, high ponytail on your crown and secure with a hair bungee or tie. Tightly twist your pony, starting from the base, guiding it forward but allowing it to kink where it wants to. To create a faux-fringe, spread out the last 20cm of your hair and secure in place with U pins. Fasten the twisted pony with a few more pins, and finish with ample amounts of hairspray.
There are long bouncy blow waves, low ponytails with teased height, loose textured side braids and twists, and homemade curls. Whether it be peachy, lilac, or grey - anything goes. Key to this look are smouldering shades on the eyes, paying special attention to the lash line. If pink is not your thing then a vibrant red lip is a fantastic festive pick me up. The right shade of red is vital and matte is always good too.
Use a lip liner to give a curved effect and to prevent the finish from looking too angular. If you feel a little more courageous we would also suggest teaming a bright lip with false eyelashes to finish the glam party look - really get the wow factor! By the 1 December all the party invites should be flooding in. An old fashioned bun becomes a vampy upswept halo of texture with just a hint of feminine form. Tease or crimp some texture into the halo section all around your hairline. Piece by piece pull the textured hair back into the bun using pins to both secure it and distort the shape of the bun.
Team this look up with a high neckline or a delicate lace over-dress, or mix in some sporty stripes and leather to toughen things up. This slicked down, high impact knot is all about shine and clean lines. The real bang of this style comes in profile, with hair swept up and away from the cheekbones into a double loop. Prep your hair by brushing to give it a clean, static texture, then split your hair into two sections, taking one section in the top, from temples to just below the crown. Sweep the lower section back into a ponytail, leaving a loop of hair big enough to fit two fingers, when you last pull through the tail.
Dip a couple of fingers into a tub of Sebastian Shine Crafter and use it to slick down the top section from the low side part at one temple, into a ponytail just above the first, again leaving a loop of hair when pulling the tail through the hair band for the last time. Wrap another hair band around both loops so that they become a double bun and the tails sit snugly at the nape.
To get a fresh youthful finish press a little Shine Crafter into your temples to smooth flyaways and add some shine, leave all the other wisps and wayward strands alone to do their thing.

The Galapagos Islands are km from the mainland, their remoteness being a huge factor in their being the birthplace of evolutionary theory. Thankfully the islands are now fiercely protected and the tourism industry strictly regulated. I took a four night cruise, but you can do longer cruises to cover more of the islands — each of which has their own endemic species. Flying into the island of Santa Cruz, first stop was at a colony of the famed giant tortoises — such extraordinary creatures with their hard shells and wrinkly necks creating more than a passing resemblance to ET.
A far cry from the 15th century, this was an elegant white motor-yacht designed for expedition style cruising in comfort, with a maximum of 48 passengers. I was in for an amazing five days. The floor to ceiling window in my spacious cabin meant no missing out on any action outside. And action there certainly was. We were welcomed aboard with our wetsuits, snorkels and flippers and in no time were off on the first adventure. Each snorkelling trip revealed new wonders - from brightly coloured fish to graceful turtles swimming on by unperturbed by our presence, but I will never forget the sight of a seal teasing a group of white tipped sharks by swimming up to them, prodding one, and then dashing off!
My first sighting of marine iguanas perched on rocks jutting out of the sea is etched on my mind — and on the many photos I took of these pre-historic looking creatures. Knowledgeable and passionate naturalist guides accompanied us on daily excursions to a new island each day. It is hard to describe the beauty of the islands, which ranged from vast lunar landscapes, to volcanic calderas and exquisite red cliffs. Much of the wildlife is completely unphased by human presence, so even keeping a respectful distance allows a thrilling up-close and personal experience.
