Colourful makeover<br />
for High St<br />
An iconic central city street has received a<br />
colourful makeover. A 50m fence made up<br />
of panels, which runs along High St, between<br />
Cashel and Lichfield Sts, has been given a new<br />
look by a group of Ara Institute of Canterbury<br />
students as part of the city council’s enliven<br />
places programme. <strong>The</strong> group chose bright<br />
colours to reflect their optimism for the city’s<br />
future. <strong>The</strong> section of High St used to house<br />
Flying Nun Records, Galaxy Records and a<br />
popular Chinese takeaway. Those landmarks<br />
are referenced in some of the designs that<br />
make up the panels.<br />
New food court for<br />
central city<br />
A mini-food court is being established on an<br />
empty site in the central city, with some of the<br />
old favourites from Re:<strong>Star</strong>t to base themselves<br />
there.<br />
A number of food and beverage carts are<br />
moving to vacant land at 200 High St, opposite<br />
Stencil, which will become known as 03 Eatery.<br />
It was born from a desire to activate vacant<br />
space and to turn it into a gathering place.<br />
Vendors to be based there include A Mouse<br />
Called Bean, <strong>The</strong> Burger Joint, Smoke ‘n’ Barrel<br />
Street Food ‘n’ Catering, Pure Pulp, Herba<br />
Gourmet, Gelatiamo, Tiki Taco, Fritz’s Wieners<br />
and Marie’s Lebanese.<br />
Herba Gourmet owner Kerry Hastings said the<br />
feedback so far had been positive.<br />
Herba had been on the site for about two<br />
weeks, but others were yet to set up, she said.<br />
“It’s going to look amazing and be a fantastic<br />
spot.”<br />
An 03 Eatery launch party will be held in the<br />
coming weeks to celebrate.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Wise<br />
Guys opens<br />
A new 1920s bar<br />
and restaurant is<br />
open on Victoria St.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Wise Guys Bar<br />
and Restaurant has<br />
opened in the same<br />
space <strong>The</strong> Good Goat<br />
was based before<br />
closing its doors within<br />
months of opening.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Wise Guys is open<br />
for breakfast and<br />
lunch daily.<br />
What’s<br />
for lunch?<br />
Lux Espresso<br />
66 Gloucester Street<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s very few things I love more than<br />
a tasty, well put together sammie.<br />
So imagine my delight when I visited<br />
Lux Espresso.<br />
Sandwiches are the star of the show<br />
in the Gloucester St eatery’s cabinet,<br />
which is in CoCA.<br />
It had croissants, sandwich melts,<br />
schiacciata, along with sweet treats and<br />
salads to choose from.<br />
I ordered a J. Friend honey and<br />
mustard glazed ham schiacciata.<br />
Toasted? Yes please.<br />
It was filled with a decent amount of<br />
sweet glazed ham, spinach and cheese,<br />
inside the toasted olive oil-laden<br />
schiacciata.<br />
I was told to go early as the small<br />
eatery became busy at lunchtime and<br />
the sandwiches often sold out. It was<br />
just as well.<br />
After I finished eating the place filled<br />
up, as did the seats in the suntrap<br />
outdoor area.<br />
If you’re after a simple, yet delicious<br />
sandwich, I’d recommend Lux. At $10,<br />
they are good value for money. But<br />
the coffee, although good, is on the<br />
expensive side.<br />
