Surely you've heard of Crossfit by now. It's the fitness revolution that focuses on constantly…read morevaried, functional movements executed at high intensity. It was created by a former US gymnast, Philip Glassman, to offer a competitive and supportive environment to get fit. Crossfit Infinite is a great place to get into the sport. Sly and the rest of the trainers are friendly and helpful. In fact, that is the greatest thing about Crossfit - the community and you are bound to meet a bunch of new friends while making yourself healthier and fitter. Infinite offers a free intro class on Saturday mornings, but I'm sure if you get in touch they can arrange a drop-in at another time. I'm so glad I discoverd them and will never go back to a regular gym.

In some ways Timezone have blurred the line between traditional arcade gaming and more of a…read morecarnival style of entertainment. Quiet a few of their games are more interactive than your button bashing joystick classics. Some being extremely physical. When you see somebody who is really good at the dance game you cannot help but stare, the combination of their lightning fast dance moves and the lights and sounds coming out of the game machine is really quite striking. In true carnival fashion, some of their games do not work through simulated graphics but are purely mechanical. There is a basketball game where you shoot hoops for prizes, and other kinds of strategy games which require real physical skill. I find that these more physically interactive games gives the place a a much more festive atmosphere. Go there if your're young or if you have young.

What a wonderful dinner experience! Visiting from the US and wanted to splurge on one nice night…read moreout to celebrate Valentine's/Anniversary/Boyfriend's birthday in one swing, and this was perfect. As strangers to fine dining, we found the servers to be welcoming and kind and more than happy to explain the menu and ingredients of the dishes. We each got the Chef's Tasting Menu and were treated to 7 small courses that left us more than stuffed and extremely satisfied. The service and food was perfection and with only 11 tables it was incredibly cozy and intimate. Money well spent!

Some perspective, have been coming to O'Connell Street Bistro for many a year now. This was a…read morereturn visit after a number of years living overseas. The food is a real delight, rich complex flavors and beautifully prepared. To be honest I think what brings them down is that they rest a little too much on their past successes and awards. The service is stiff and stand'offish. We tried a number of times to start a conversation and just got stared at blankly. It got to the point it was uncomfortable. I have seen managements responses on another review site to this sort of feedback and they are not accepting of it in any way. A very sad return for us. It has lost something along the many years of success and should look carefully at how it can bring that real warmth of personality back into play.

The only elements missing from this bar are a few cushy sofas. Why? Because one could spend all…read moreevening here. The decor is modern rustic, with plenty of wood & iron throughout the bar area. There are two massive speakers inside pumping killer tunes, so unless you've got your dancing shoes on I suggest you mosey outdoors. That is where most people are mingling. From what I have been told, there is live music and plenty of dancing on Friday & Saturday evenings. Outside there is a fireplace fit for a king, for those of you who get chilly at night. The mini-alleyway, is reminiscent of the hidden cobblestone streets in Rennes or Paris, where more than one bistro share a road. I believe there are three total here. So do not be shy, check 'em all out! I am still new to the NZ wine scene, so I am trusting the recommendation of sommeliers and bartenders. This bartenders recommendation of a Pinot from the Marlborough region was fresh, peppery, fragrant and just right for the night. Even when evening weather decided to shed light rain, everyone was safe and dry under the overhead canopy, on this hidden cobblestone path in Auckland. C'est très bon!

What a cute wee alley-way bar. Great spot for after-work drinks, particularly on a Friday night,…read morewhen there are D.J's playing sweet beats. Quite a lot more intimate than the likes of BCC, I recommend coming here early with a small group and staking a claim on one of the large tables next to the massive outdoor fire. Although they do have a decent wine list (including Revolution Wine on tap), these guys are consummate professionals who know their stuff so definitely splash out and get a cocktail. Not only are they v.speedy at making them but they are also incredibly delicious. Current fav - 'Chamfrancisco' (Chambord, Amaretto, Frangelico, lemon juice, sugar syrup and egg white) p.s. They do unbelievably good curly fries. Order them. Trust me.
