- 132Gypsy Tea RoomGrey LynnI absolutely adore The Gypsy. Whether you are a Ponsonby socialite or a Grey Lynn local, this place is great for starting at for a good night out. The Gypsy has all the top shelf liquors and also skilled bartenders for a good cocktail. The wine list is extensive with a good apple cider on tap also, so don't be shy to give it a try.

Great food cheap deals
- 121Epolito's PizzeriaOnehungaIf you have not tried there pizzas than you have not lived! If you are a true Pizza Lover then this is were you wanna be If you want a pizza that is as big as your table i suggest trying the large sized pizza. Epolitos is an authentic New York styled pizzeria. The bases are made fresh everyday by the pizza chef which is a friend of mine who is originally from New York and has the accent to go with it. If you are someone who loves classic italian pizzas then try the margherita if not there are a lot more to choose from on the menu, if you are a more modern or something different kind of person I suggest trying the artichoke heart, Anchovy and lemon pizza it will blow your mind and give you a whole new look on how pizzas should taste and look.
