I recently met a friend in the land of suits known as the Westpac food court. Off Kent Street and behind Wynyard station, this lunchtime hotspot houses some great little take away stalls. From Thai to sushi, to sandwiches to kebabs, the options are pretty well rounded in these parts. With a grassy courtyard for lounging / tanning and dozens of tables scattered both in the shade and the golden sunshine, it provides the perfect little escape from the florescent lighting and artic air con in the office.
If you're after something healthy (ish), I recommend you try one of Breadline's many wraps. Their Moroccan chicken is decent, with a spicy kick and creamy mayo to round it out. Get it toasted to avoid that "I've been sitting in a case all day" taste. You might even want to pick up a serve of one of their few salads to round it all out. Luckily everything comes in a take away container so it's easy to position yourself on the cozy grass. Plop down, grab your fork and stay awhile (or at least until the lunch hour ends). Good eats and free vitamin D in your day might just be the little kick you need to get you through. read more
