Warehouse Precinct: Eat your way around Dunedin's New York-style foodie district
Not so long ago, Dunedin’s Warehouse Precinct was a part of town few would bother to venture to.
The area a few blocks south of the Octagon was once the commercial heart of the city, back in the gold rush days when Dunedin was the largest and wealthiest city in New Zealand. But over time, the grand old buildings had been neglected, turned into shabby student flats or car parks.
In recent years, the area has undergone a major revitalisation – and like New York’s Meatpacking District, the Warehouse Precinct has been transformed into a buzzing destination. Walls have been splashed with street art, buildings have been restored to their former glory and new businesses have moved in.
It’s also become a foodie haven, home to everything from boutique bakeries to microbreweries, from burger joints to fine-dining spots. Here’s a guide to eating your way around the Warehouse Precinct.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
