The Greenstone Room

World Trade Centre B.Y.O.

Now that you have just got your first payment, and since it will be some time until you get the next one ... now is the time to start layingup fat for the winter. Up till now we have reviewed restaurants that were either in the nature of a treat or had some special quality, say like serving breakfast, but now we bring you something a little bit different. Quantity.

The World Trade Centre was opened up when it was the thing to do to look at dream kitchens and bathroom fittings on a Friday night in town. It's all looking pretty tatty now and the Greenstone Room on the third floor has managed to capture the atmosphere. You can enter off the Cuba Mall and a tunnel of shops (including the excellent Government Bookshop branch) or off Sturdee Street or again off Ghuznee Street. At the Ghuznee Street end is the slowest glumest branch of the BNZ in Wellington and certainly worth a look on your way in... if you have the time.

Well you wander in through display box photos of voting at the 57th Peoples Congress and halt a dozen empty cabinets with the Soviet Trade Display on the left -also worth a look - take the lift to the third floor and you're there.

The Greenstone Room has a smorgasbord every lunchtime and Friday evenings for $4.50 and $5.00 (children cheaper) respectively. Now it wasn't designed as a place to go and stuff yourself but that is probably the only reason for you to go.
