JACKSON ST FOR JACK OF ALL FOOD

Michael from Trentham

Last time I wrote about Petone (Pito-oni) was to say GET OUT for those on the plains for the overlapping sea is on its way, quicker than was envisaged only a few years ago. Just refer to relevant insurance premiums if you don't believe me.

But while we are still here, Petone's Jackson Street is a little Melbourne for its food and drinking outlets.

Last time I counted there were 38 places along a kilometre stretch of Jackson Street that provided food and refreshments - mostly by way of restaurants - but someone else has done a recent count and got up to near 70.
That latest figure represents a wide variety of choice. And parking though limited and mostly in ultra narrow streets , is still free and that's the way most Petone-ites want it.

My birthday is coming up so guess I will be somewhere in Petone if not Brewtown, on the night.
