Can't decide what you fancy? try Auckland's newest food court. It. is. HUGE. Located in the brand-new 4 billion dollar Commerical Bay complex, at the harbour end of Queen Street. Harbour Eats is on level 3 and home to big and small names in the Auckland food scene. We thoroughly recommend Tart Bakery - serving homebaked vegan pastries, pies and sweets, and absolutely delicious. Liquorette - a New York style cocktail bar serving up swanky cocktails in stylish and cool setting.

Walk walk walk or Scoot?

Walking is a great way to experience Auckland, reducing your personal carbon emissions and giving you a more wholesome time overall. Auckland's CBD is relatively small compared with say European cities and with the exception of Mount Eden, you'll rarely walk longer than 30 minutes to get to any destination/event. If you are looking for a little more spring, you could try one of the various self-drive scooters parked around the city. Simply create an account with your chosen Scooter, use the scanner on the handlebars and away you go. Please do be careful however, Scooters aren't the safest.
