Best Dumplings in Auckland! cheap as chips, about $12 for 20 dumplings, way too many for one, great for sharing or leftovers (however they do use polystyrene containers so best to eat there). The address attached will take you to the hub of some fantastic Asian cuisine, open very late 11pm + which is very rare in Auckland, and lots of great cheap eats to choose from. There is also a fantastic cinema there that show quality films and have craft beer on tap! Note there is a closer Barilla Dumplings (10 minutes walk from home) but it doesn't have the same street atmosphere. It is at 303/305 Dominion Rd

Right next door! Hot hot has just opened and I must say the food is great. Very fresh, delicious and affordable. The atmosphere is ridiculously hip right now but still casual and fun. Enjoy.

Sightseeing

Epic views of the entire city. Great park to explore or read a book in the sun. Great for getting your bearings. You can also walk down to Mount Eden Village for a Belgium beer, Gelato or wonderful cuisine.

Parks & Nature

This island is a bird sanctuary and offers unique opportunities to emerge yourself in native bush and to see NZ bird life up close. Volunteers offer guided tours for free. The ferry ride there (which leaves from down town) is worth the trip alone.

This place is easy for most people, it has enough atmosphere to be nice without catering to a specific 'type' of person- anyone can enjoy themselves here. If you like craft beer, it is not the place for you. Check it out.
