“Great spot in the middle of Wellington. I enjoyed the restaurants and cafes located in and around here and really enjoyed the sculptures. Plenty of space to sit in the sun or shade depending on the time of day. It was also a good reference point for my hopeless navigation.”

“A Wellington CBD classic. Come see the bureaucrats eat lunch. Watch the shoppers rest. Marvel at the afternoon drinkers. Join the lunchtime crowd. Peak at the workers scuttling into the tower. You know you want.”
