KINGSLAND: THE NEW PONSONBY WHAT THE LOCALS LOVE ABOUT THEIR PATCH OF AUCKLAND… Ruth Hawes: I LOVE the delicious Mediterranean food at Petra Shawarma - it's a great place for lunch and the chicken shawarma is so tasty. Relaxed, affordable and with lovely service - a perfect example of what makes Kingsland such an awesome neighbourhood to belong too. Tim Hawes: All of the dining right at the door; walk up the road five minutes from home and I can eat something great from anywhere in the world! The bars are great also and you can't go wrong with our newest Mexican bar/tapas lounge Bandita! Douglas Chandler: Where else in Auckland can you walk and get to Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Western Springs, the City, Mount Eden, Mt Albert, Sandringham in about half an hour? Of course Eden Park is in Kingsland too... plus all those wonderful cafes, bars and restaurants catering to a large variety of palates and tastes. Emma Kippenberger: I love Shaky Isles - delicious food and coffee and such a quirky cute café - best thing ever is coffee in the sun outside watching the world go by... Tui Thorn: I just love the convenience of this area. It’s a great place to stay and hang, or literally a few minutes via car/bus/train to heaps of the best spots Auckland has to offer. The massive (and delicious) selection at Baker’s Cottage is a life saver after a night out making the most of all the cool bars! Caroline Franklin: Kingsland’s a great suburb to be in and I’m so lucky that two of my favourite places are opposite our offices - amazing coffee from Atomic for the mornings and refreshing drinks and yummy food from Citizen Park for after work relaxing. Stasya Zatylnikova: I love to enjoy the first coffee of the morning in Kingsland. One of the newest additions to the neighbourhood, Dot.. make an unbelievable cuppa (and have some pretty decent things to eat too)!
