Simple answer.... change the cycle lane to mobility scooter access only.... problem solved.yeah man, there’s other factors 100%, that’s everywhere.
but trust me that place was always packed. roast chicken baguette, out of this world.
but you just can’t park anywhere near it anymore. and a lot of oldies just can’t walk that far, in good weather let alone bad.
What I find interesting is that some hospo in Auckland is on it's knees ready for the axe to fall while others are thriving. Just recently, we went out for my birthday and our Anniversary. The two places were packed (Origine Bistro in Commercial Bay and Jervious Steak House) and were turning away people who came in with no reservations. Origine, I could understand as that was on a Saturday night but JSH was on a Tuesday night. I think there's still a place for those who offer good food at a reasonable price.
It's also a small world... sitting at the table next to us at JSH was Auckland Business Chamber CEO and former leader of the Nats, Simon Bridges. Then, at Origine, we started talking between courses to the couple next to us who were also celebrating their Wedding anniversary. Turns out that she was best friends with a lady who was helping S with her recovery from chemo/cancer.
