ponsonby fags can't eat on the footpath

[WINJA]

thank fuck the council has finally done something about this , these cafe owners have spoilt it for themselves , for instance cezanne used to have 2 small tables outside not blocking access to pedestrians etc etc , last time i went past you couldnt even park your car outside without opening your door into a patron , to walk past i had to walk on the road , it was fucken ridiculous .
resteraunts spilling out onto the footpath have got worse and worse , you can see awnings out there to give diners shelter and further inconvinience pedestrians , if we parked our bikes on the footpath like these pilick cafe and resteraunt owners park their chairs and tables we'd get a ticket quick smart .
i had an arguement down the 3 lamps end after buying a roll from a bakery , i sat down at the tables outside a cafe and some foreigner cafe owner came out and told me i cant sit there , what i said you telling me i cant sit here in this public area partly owned by me a tax paying rate paying new zealander ,i told him to fuck off back to his own country and sat there and then left my rubbish for him to clean up .

hahahahaha, I ate at pretty much every establishment on Ponsy-Road in the late 90's, the food was good, and the drag queens plentiful.

something must be fucked with the matrix - cause i agree with WINJA.

sometimes its nice to have a cold beer outside after a long day. especially if your a smoker. but i hate it how you see posers eating outside... when the weather is shit and the cafe inside is empty.

they are sitting outside in the rain/cold/wind just so you can see them drinking their sav and eating some $30 salmon bagel.

and then theres the owners who think they are in france, asking you as you walk by to come in for lunch. leave me the fuck alone. if i was hungry i would be eating already...

NOTHING WRONG WITH SOME OF THE FOOD , A FEW GOOD BURGER JOINTS THERE , CEZANNES WAS OK ESPECIALLY THE NACHOS AND MUFFINS , OPEN LATE CAFE HAS SOME GOOD FOOD AS WELL AND THAT USED TO ALL BE SERVED OFF THE FOOTPATH

Sounds like the 'Strip' in Christchurch. At least there is still some footpath space left. Last I read the council wants to charge them rent and will be asking them to close it off or pay, the cafe owners have hired security guards almost as some sort of 'enforcers' of their right to use the area...

I h8 th0se f0ck1ng ponSNOBBBY cAfe owners! good on you whinja

Oh mate.... Are you ever gonna get some shit on this site talking like that! I pitty you when Hitcher notices....

As for the disscusion at hand. I live in Hawkes Bay, The biggest problem on out footpaths wear baggy jeans and hoodies...

[Nicksta]

I have to agree.... after this new smoking law... you can hardly walk down the footpath for tables and chairs and velvet roped off areas....
last time i looked, they were foot paths.... for feet, not bums to sit

I agree with WHINGA,the place has changed a lot since 1957.
Once was my grandmother would take me for walkies up there an you couldn't find a cafe.
Unless it was a BSA with a milkbar cowboy on it..
Don't times change??

Ponsonby is OK. I work there!!! I yell out the window to Crashe on her way to White Cross! Eating lunch at the cafes is hugely expensive!!! So usually BYO!!! Good coffee at Agnes Curran and cheap sammies, pies etc. at Early Bird Bakery (they have been there for years). Go the cafe, yuppie set! Not me

[SPman]

Cezannes has gone downhill a bit the last few years......

I still like their soup and french bread in the winter. Very warming!

Little do the patrons know,but in one of those cafe's....where the food is prepard,British bikes were dismembered and stacked on shelves....Ducati's were tuned and repaired.And where they sit sipping their coffee,we parked our fithy noisy bikes...heh,heh,heh...
