Karangahape Road Must Do's

Subculture Galore

The kingpin of vintage stores and boho boutiques, as well as drag cabaret, a proud LGBTQIA scene and numerous gritty-meets-gentrified dining options.

Vintage Shopping

Thrift shop the day away. Favourite stores include Paper Bag Princess and several op shops on the main road. St Kevins Arcade is a major hub and you’ll find more fabulous vintage and upcoming designers’ stores.

Caluzzi Cabaret

Auckland’s original drag queen cabaret show, complete with three-course dinner. The costumes are outrageous, the stilettos are huge and the humour will have you giggling all the way home.

The Pie Piper

Home to sweet treats like American cherry pies and gargantuan donuts with mind-blowing toppings. Try out their eye-wateringly good bourbon pecan pie, but be quick! They sell out fast.

Sly Secret Bar

From the outside this is nothing more than a window of picture frames. Step inside and you’ll find yourself in a small closet. We’ll leave it to you to figure out how you get into the bar itself.
