Ponsonby Live Local Lunch

Overview

It's got all the elements; local food, local wine, the eternally fabulous Denise L'Estrange-Corbet (WORLD) and the historic old fire station as your backdrop, not to mention if you do the maths it's a pretty cost effective way to sample some of Ponsonby's best loved fare.

Sponsored by American Express, the Ponsonby Live Local lunch promises those wanting complete immersion, an extraordinary introduction to Ponsonby's electric lifestyle.

Punters will be presented with five courses from some of the suburb's favoured haunts including SPQR, Prego and new favourite Saan, matched with New Zealand wines, live entertainment and an exclusive insight into the beautiful old Ponsonby fire building which dates back to the 1920's.

All part of their Live Local campaign, American Express promises $10 back for every $20 spent at participating local businesses between May 1 and June 11 (up to five times) and if you ignore the corporate element, it's a timely reminder that we should all be getting behind our local businesses a little bit more.
