My Address (for now at least) and Food

28 Pentland Street
North East Valley, Dunedin 
New Zealand 9010

Tonight Simon and I went to (as promised) Velvet Burger (New Zealand renowned burger place).  After getting uncomfortably full of tofu, beets, aioli, and basil pesto sauce, we left leaning on one another. 

Dunedin was pretty happening up until 6 pm (when everything closes at once), and then the public library was open. You never realize what a mecca of awesomeness a public library is until you're in a foreign country (at least that's true for me). I could read the Otago Times free of charge, check out a book of short stories, and play tic-tac-toe with enormous pillows in the kid's lounge area. I officially have a library card which means spending a lot less money on books. 

Here are some pictures of Velvet Burger to wet your appetite:


This is obviously not me, but the burgers are the size of your (or my) face.  HUGE. We both finished our meals. Impressive. So we deserve:




I ordered the "Animal Rights" burger, Simon ordered a burger not on the menu entitled "Gone Burger" (subtitle: if you finish this someone should slap you a high five! (he finished it)). 

Hope all is well with all of you.
Enjoy your meals,

Abi
