Tucked down a central city side street, Caffe’ Central has been offering Italian classics for nearly two decades.

The Alma Street restaurant has built a loyal following, including a couple of original diners who keep coming back for the same dish, the owners say.

Since taking over in 2007, owner Marco Scarpa has preserved the essence of traditional Italian cuisine, sending out dozens of the top-selling dishes each week.

Those behind the restaurant put its success down to quality ingredients and time-honoured recipes.

Signing the Steel

There were a few beaming faces and one big beam that was the centre of attention at the Waikato Regional Theatre on Wednesday.

The beam in question was a 600kg steel strut that was lifted into place atop the theatre’s flying tower, shortly after midday - but not before it was decorated with about 30 signatures of those who have had central roles in the project.

There were also speeches by Foster Construction project manager Ben Royfee and Waikato Regional Property Trust chairman Ross Hargood and a sausage sizzle for the workers.

Festival of Weird

With a line-up that boasts acts named Ukulele Death Squad, DeeJay Handbrake and the Black Sheep Circus it’s clear that the Festival of Weird is no ordinary series of events.

Beginning on Wednesday, March 5 - just three days after the conclusion of the Hamilton Arts Festival - the Hamilton/Kirikiriroa Festival of Weird promises more off-beat fare than its better-known cousin.

A good portion of the week’s worth of envelope-pushing entertainment will be a series of free daily shows in Garden Place, including street theatre, acrobatics, and live music.

The Outback turns 30

A white Mazda has pulled up at lights on Hamilton’s Victoria St, and Abba’s Dancing Queen is blaring. There’s a young man driving and a group of young women swaying to the music and waving drinks on their way to town for Friday night. It’s O Week, the Chiefs have just beaten the Crusaders at FMG Stadium Waikato, and Hamilton student bar The Outback Inn is hosting a beerfest. One guess where the party girls are heading.

If it’s the Outback they’ll be in a line of succession stretching back 30 years, after the Outback opened for its first O Week in 1995.
