SUNDAY LUNCH ALPHA ST KITCHEN & BAR, CAMBRIDGE, JUNE 13
The restaurant, which we have visited several times, is located in the historic National Hotel in the heart of Cambridge, adjacent to the Town Hall and overlooking the Town Clock.
The original hotel on the corner of Alpha Street & Lake Street was The Alpha Hotel, built in 1866 and destroyed by fire in 1912. The current version of the National Hotel ("The Nash" to Cambridge locals) was originally built in 1913 and, with a few modifications over the decades, has retained its elegant art deco style.
The quiet elegance and generous dimensions of the building enhance the contemporary, relaxed style of the restaurant. For decades the National Hotel has been pivotal in the social life of the residents of Cambridge. Alpha Street Kitchen & Bar carries on the tradition of a welcoming place to meet at any time of the day. www.alphast.co.nz...

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

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.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
