THE SCOOP Get your bearings with an update on who’s doing what – and where – in Christchurch. WORD ON THE STREET Christchurch nightlife is tipped to get its boom on with whispers that Tony Astle, having just opened Mexicano’s, has another two projects on the go, while word on the street is that Burgers and Beers’ Andrew Brown is expanding into wine bar territory. Expect exciting things too from the crew behind exceptional digs Goodbye Blue Monday and Smash Palace, with a new development to be announced early next year.

BEAUTIFOAL ADDITION It’s official, Christchurch is a one horse town – and what a beauty! Be on the lookout for Beautifoal and her owner Richard Hayden over the summer as they frequent the city’s bars and cafes – giddy up! KEEP ON TRUCKIN’ Fancy some Mexican on the move? Mamacita’s mobile taco truck is well worth stalking – luckily their website (www.mamacitas.co.nz) includes a ‘I’d like to stalk your tacos’ feature.
UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL The age-old debate regarding which came first – the kiwi or the egg – has been resolved after a clutch of great spotted kiwi eggs from the West Coast recently hatched at the New Zealand Conservation Trust’s kiwi breeding facility at Willowbank. The Christchurch-based programme is the only facility in the country breeding the precious natives, and it is hoped up to 20 new chicks will be raised this season. While these super cute bundles of national pride are off display, you’ll get to see them if you take the Kiwi Breeding Tour.

COLD-BREW COFFEE The hottest trend among caffeine connoisseurs is pouring decidedly cool. Cold-brew coffee, perfect for long hot summer days, is the result of coarse coffee grounds being soaked in room-temperature or cold water for 12 hours or more before filtering. The tasty result is a smooth, sweeter tasting rich coffee that’s lower in acid and more concentrated, courtesy of the grounds not coming into contact with boiling water. Cold-brew can then be heated and served as the traditional cuppa joe, but makes for a particularly excellent iced coffee, and is also a great mixer (unsurprising when its taste is typically described as “liqueur-like”). Get your fix at Underground Coffee and Black Betty Café.

DINING & ENTERTAINMENT EATING @
EDESIA It’s 6:30 on a Saturday night and Edesia is packed to its glittering gills. We have no booking and tickets to The Mikado in an hour’s time – mission impossible, right? Not so – we’re quickly accommodated and perusing the menu as a bar table is made up in a prime, window-side spot. The ultimate in destination dining, Edesia is an oasis in the heart of Addington’s industrial precinct, a location which lends the hard-to-find, underground cool that’s so hot in New York dining. Inside, moody dark wood joins twinkling Luigi Bormioli glassware, while at the rear a glass wine vault incubates some seriously covetable French bubbles. Following some expert guidance we select the Pan-fried Marinated Pork Fillet, Silverfern Reserved Eye Beef Fillet and Beetroot and Feta Salad. Wine reccomendations allow us time to enjoy the moment, and we’re sipping Elephant Hill Chardonnay and Craggy Range Te Kahu as our meals arrive. Stunningly presented and cooked to perfection, we’re still singing their praises when we arrive at The Court, handily just around the corner, 10 minutes before the curtain rises. www.edesia.co.nz read

Looking for the next big thing in summer swilling that’s super easy to fix, crazy refreshing and guaranteed to blow your guests’ hair back? Then it’s time to turn back the clock, tap into a swinging classic and get your Aperol Spritz on. The go-to-drink over the European summer, the revival of this thirst-quenching elixir knocked summer perennial Pimm’s off its perch during its recent blitz of Europe. Passing the Cityscape road test with flying colours and resembling bottled sunshine, this breezy, bitter-sweet, low(ish) alcohol aperitif is almost as easy to make as it is to drink. Booze hounds can kick it up a notch with a shot of gin to really get the party started. Aperol Spritz Ice 60ml Aperol Apéritif 90ml Prosecco (or another dry sparkling white wine) Splash of soda water 1 slice of orange Pour Aperol in a large, ice-filled white wine glass and add the Prosecco (and gin, if using). Gently stir (once!) and finish with a splash of soda water and the orange slice.
TRENDING: NATURE’S BOUNTY Cityscape caught up with Otautahi Urban Foraging’s Joanna Wildish for the lowdown on the latest foodie trend. How did you get involved in foraging? My first time foraging would have been collecting plums with friends and older siblings as a kid, maybe aged 4 or 5, and it’s just something that continued. What’s driving foraging’s popularity? I wonder how much it’s to do with the increasing costs of living that we are seeing more and more of this happening – a movement born of necessity perhaps? People are also becoming, or maybe re-becoming, more socially and environmentally conscious, so it’s probably something to do with both these things. What are some of the benefits of foraging? Foraging helps you to appreciate where your food comes from, what’s available locally and is a great way to connect with neighbours and others around you. Tell us about the Edible Garden City plans. Our group, along with Soil & Health Canterbury and Rangiora Earthquake Express, are in the process of developing a food forest project to increase free and locally available food. Foraging is a growing movement worldwide, so creating spaces and places for this in our own city is important. What can be foraged in Christchurch? There is so much really … from walnuts to nettles, apples, feijoas, pears, plums, chestnuts, watercress, kawa-kawa, puha, lemons, you name it! What’s the golden rule of foraging? Only take what you need (leaving some for others, including birds and insects) and share what you find.

Cityscape trawls the watering holes along the city’s hottest party scene – we’ve also thrown in a few food matches where applicable (‘cos we’re responsible like that!). Carlton Technically not on Victoria Street, this legend reborn serves banging live music on Friday and Saturday nights. Smash Palace Under-the-sun fun pairing demochic and made-from-scratch burgers (see Untapped on p14). King of Snake The venue that started it all! We’re still praising the Millionaire Mojito and crispy duck with caramelised mandarin sauce. Mexicano’s Day of the Deadthemed new kid on the block combines margaritas (Té de Fumar, pictured, is our poison of choice) with a bodacious tuna ceviche. Tequila Mockingbird This south of the border bombshell introduced us to the supreme Grapefruit Gin & Tonic – we’re also quite partial to their spiced crispy pork. Revival Bar Sweet live tunes and Kirin on tap keep us coming back to this nostalgic stalwart. Harlequin Public House Chill with an Asahi off the tap in the summer sun or tuck into the Saturdays-only 48-hour lamb shoulder. Cruz Bar The former gay hot spot with the once pricey tap water and chilled vibe is perfect for a late night stomp. Mashina Lounge Underground Russian vodka den housed in a somewhat converted car park with awesome live music.

Eatin’ This Kaiapoi-made Spicy Chorizo is a feisty, manukasmoked pork sausage that marries garlic, pepper and paprika, rounded out with cayenne pepper to crank up the heat.

MEET THE ARTISANS Cityscape suffers some serious job envy catching up with She Universe’s master chocolatier Oonagh Brown. How did you become a chocolate alchemist? Chocolate found me. I never believed I was creative until I started playing with chocolate. Where do you get your chocolate? We predominantly use Belgium couverture chocolate and we also buy beans from the Pacific Islands. What’s the best thing about being a chocolatier? I have, on-hand, the best chocolate in the world! Do you ever get sick of eating chocolate? Chocolate is the most sacred and ancient ingredient on the planet, it’s been here for thousands of years – I can definitely take a few more years! The secret to making great chocolates? Living a life of creativity, constantly stepping into the new and having the courage to follow my inner knowing. Most unusual creation? We create a lot of unusual flavours! My favourite thing to do is create chocolates for wedding couples. I meet them over hot chocolates at our cafe in Governors Bay and learn about their love and capture their story in unique flavours which have included beetroot and balsamic, curry and mango, and brie and hazelnut. Is white chocolate really chocolate? If it contains cocoa butter from the cacao bean, then yes. How can we enjoy chocolate more? Let it melt on the palate, without chewing. This allows the full experience of chocolate to be known – the mouth feel and the release of flavours.
BURGERLICIOUS Sure Christchurch serves some banging burgers from stellar establishments the likes of Burgers & Beers and Pomeroys, but flying under the radar are the made-from-scratch (we’re talking buns, burgers, chutneys and mayo!) gourmet bad boys being flipped behind the bar bus at Smash Palace. Order the Blue Cheese or Bacon (pictured) option with a side of killer fries and give praise to the burger gods. WINE LIST
Available at Vino Fino. Amisfield Arcadia Brut Methode Brut A sophisticated bubbly, the base wine for the current batch has spent around 5 years on lees, resulting in wonderful bready nuances and superb complexities. RRP $19.99
Two Rivers L’Ile de Beauté Rosé 2013 Named after the island of Corsica where the winemaker spent three vintages, this Marlborough Pinot Noir rosé is off-dry with juicy strawberry and summer berry flavours and a mouth-watering freshness – perfect for summer. RRP $19.99
PUNCH DRUNK LOVE Summer is the perfect time to drag out the punchbowl and wow your guests with a top tipple. Made right they’ll be raving about it for weeks, made wrong and you’ve got a Facebook full of shame and a room full of burnt tracheas. In order to navigate this fine line we’ve enlisted local bar tsar and Mexicano’s GM Jamie Andrew Lawton to create an exclusive recipe for Cityscape – behold the … Watermelon and Tequila Punch + cardamom and mint-scented ice Serves 10 For the ice Boil 2 litres of water and let cool. Lightly crush 10 cardamom pods and heat in a dry pan for about 5 mins or until cardamom starts to scent. Place cardamom, water and 5 mint sprigs in a 2-litre ice cream container and freeze overnight. For the punch 5 cups of seeded watermelon, cut in to 2cm pieces 1 cup of Martini Bianco Vermouth ½ cup of Blanco Tequila ⅛ cup of white creme de cacao 120ml freshly squeezed (not bottled!) lime juice 3 tbs of castor sugar 1 ½ cups of hibiscus & rose tea (cold) Blend watermelon, lime and sugar till sugar is diluted and pour into punch bowl. Add vermouth, tequila, tea, white crème de cacao and stir till combined. Add the ice block half an hour before you’re ready to serve and punch on!

WARDROBE MISTRESS Summer’s here, and you lads may be wondering how much thigh to put out there down at the beach. Let’s face it, boardshorts are the safest option, and a go-to favourite for many. But safe doesn’t have to mean boring – you may want to throw on a shirt and hit a bar after the surf, so avoid the garish and opt for a ‘fitted’ look with hot retro patterns and vibrant block colours. Going shorter, a decent pair of trunks these days harks back to the 60s-surfer bathing suit. A trim fit is in, but ensure you’re not going to cut circulation to anything vital or end up sporting a verandah over the toolshed! Unfortunately, Speedos are not for the majority and, in fact, should possibly be legally restricted to Olympic swimmers only. If you think a bit more fabric will bridge the gap between ‘no!’ and ‘whoa!’ though, consider squarecuts and get your 007 on.

TIPS FOR THE MODERN (CAVE) MAN MANSCAPING 101 Whether in the boudoir or at the beach, there’s no excuse for thigh pubes, gorilla shoulders or a hair shirt – unless you’re a total Chewbacca AND you own it (and if so, props to you, Kong). The first rule of manscaping is put down the shaving cream and razor – trading your man fur for prickly, razor burnt skin and ingrown hairs is a total sucker punch. Get your hands on some clippers or a beard trimmer with an adjustable guard and start grafting. Rules to trim by Chest hair is back, so embrace it – de-shag the pile with a #2. Thigh pubes? #2. Tame underarm hairs with a #4. Tackling the tackle: yep, we’re going (down) there. If porn’s taught us anything it’s the shorter the grass, the bigger the tree looks. Keep it natural (no shapes/designs) and nothing shorter than a #3, otherwise things get prickly. Trim your junk without attachments or guards – just be on guard and keep the skin tight to avoid nicks. For back and shoulder hair your best bet is regular waxings or a laser treatment or two.

Do. Barbershop
You’ve probably noticed the throng of old-school barber shops springing up over the city as Christchurch wakes up to the smell of barbicide and, like us, you’ve probably been wondering – what gives? Well wonder no more (and it’s not all cutthroat shaves and side-slicked rockabilly chic – well, not entirely). According to Donna Freeman of Mankind, it seems the lads like a natter as much as the ladies while getting their follicles tended. “The gentlemen of Christchurch love a chat and a bit of banter … I think that is half our role.” Mihi Tiananga at Do. Barbershop agrees, saying a big part of the appeal is men getting together to talk about “…sports, politics – it could be anything. It’s a forum.” New City Barbers also invokes the noble barber shop tradition of “engaging men in discussions about contemporary issues,” says owner Chris Terry. Men are appreciative of an environment just for them, says Chris. “You see guys in the hairdressers around the malls and they just want the experience to be over.” Mihi couches it in more primal terms: “Men want to reclaim their manhood.” Let the reclamation of the Dapper Dans begin!

While the jury is still out on the long-term benefits of slipping off the trainers and jogging down to Starbucks barefoot (just as early man must surely have done), barefoot running has plenty of advocates, and Ethiopian Abebe Bikila certainly didn’t need shoes to win the Olympic marathon gold in 1960. The main idea is to reduce repetitive stress injuries in your joints, which stem from landing with heavy heels, by landing each stride towards the middle or front of the foot. If you want to give it a go now that the weather’s warming up, here are a few tips: start things low and slow; stay light on your feet, and concentrate on forward movement, not bouncing up and pounding down; and start with hard surfaces as grass can be uneven (and might also hide pointy nasties).

HOME GROWN: PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES Cityscape catches up with Graham Sercombe, master craftsman behind Governor Cricket Bats. How long have you been at the crease? I’ve been making bats for about 21 years, although I’ve been repairing bats for a bit longer. That’s how it started – from blade repairs and replacing handles. Where do get your wood? I import English willow from J.S. Wright and Sons in Chelmsford, Essex, England. Tool of the trade? The bat press, as that holds the major process and art of crafting a bat to a high standard. Tell us about the custom made process. Everything from blade and handle length, weight, grade of willow, grain structure, back-lift, including sweet spot, edge thickness, blade shape, bowed or traditional straight blade through to grip colour are all customised to the client’s specifications. What’s the hardest/trickiest part of that process? Ensuring the edges and face of the bats are pressed correctly. Favourite part of the job? Putting the Governor stickers on. How long does it take to make a bat? It’s a total of about 4 hours, although not continuous. Career highlight? Watching my bats on the odd occasion on TV, or Peter Fulton scoring 301 not out for Canterbury against Auckland back when I sponsored him. Who would you love to see swinging a Governor? My son, but he plays badminton! Seriously, maybe Alistair Cook. When I’m not turning out precision sporting equipment I’m … Coaching badminton or watching Chelsea. What’s one thing that’s just not cricket? 20/20.
AWESOME, RIGHT ON! Got a great idea you think could make life in Christchurch more awesome? Then you need to get in touch with our very own Ministry of Awesome (M.O.A). An inspiration initiative founded by a group of awesomeists dedicated to making Christchurch a more awesome place, the M.O.A aims to harness and empower great ideas and creative thinking from Christchurch citizens. It hosts a website where anyone can submit, discuss and support great ideas for the city, and runs competitions that call for anything from the funkiest bike rack (winner pictured) to awesome flash mob ideas. One of the founding principles of the Ministry is that anyone can be awesome, so check out www.ministryofawesome.com and give wings to those great ideas.
THE BUZZ With global bee populations under threat from pests, chemicals and the scary-sounding colony collapse disorder, our nectar-collecting friends need a hand – cue the rising popularity of urban beekeeping. This movement has seen hives popping up on rooftops and in backyards around the world – even Xena: Warrior Princess’ Lucy Lawless is lording it over her own hives. In our fair city bees have also taken up digs across the city with hives at CPIT, C1 café and The Colombo. If you’re thinking of following Xena’s lead, you’ll need to be legally registered and it’s probably a good idea to tap the brains trust that is the Christchurch Hobbyist Beekeepers’ Club (www.chchbeekeepers.org.nz).

WATCH Mud, Review by Nick Paris, Alice in Videoland. Mud is an adventure about boys Ellis (Tye Sheridan) and Neckbone (Jacob Lofland), who find a man named Mud (Matthew McConaughey) hiding out on an island in the Mississippi. Mud describes fantastic scenarios – he killed a man in Texas and vengeful bounty hunters are coming to get him, but he’s planning to escape with the love of his life, Juniper (Reese Witherspoon). Sceptical but intrigued, the boys agree to help him. It isn’t long until Mud’s visions come true and their small town is besieged by a beautiful girl with a line of bounty hunters in tow. Mud conceals and reveals a lot of a boy’s own world, and McConaughey excels once again so close after Killer Joe and the under-valued The Paperboy. Must see.

READ Barracuda, by Christos Tsiolkas. His whole life, Danny Kelly’s only ever wanted one thing: to win Olympic gold. Everything he’s ever done, every thought, every dream, every action, takes him closer to the moment of glory and vindication. His parents struggle to send him to the most prestigious private school with the finest swimming programme, where he is bullied and shunned as an outsider. But his coach is the best and knows Danny is, too. A win-at-all-cost ferocity gradually wins favour with the coolest boys; to them he’s Barracuda, he’s the psycho, he’s everything they want to be and he’s going to show them all – but even the best laid plans can go astray. Tender, brutal and blazingly brilliant, Barracuda is the latest novel from the acclaimed author of The Slap.

LISTEN Pearl Jam Lightning Bolt, Review by Chris Mooar at Pennylane Records. It doesn’t seem that long ago that Pearl Jam unleashed their debut Ten on a flannel-clad Grunge generation. Vedder, a spokesman for disenfranchised youth, was sort of like a cool older brother: head-strong, opinionated, dangerous and with a big heart. Once the rock n roll outlaws, now PJ are ‘Dad rockers’, and the flowing locks have been replaced by grey hair. So have they still got the fire in the belly? Yup, you bet. The album opens with a string of belters, some classic PJ ballads to slow the pace (maybe too much in the middle) but in all, this is PJ rockin’ and with enough anger to make you feel that they mean it and still care.
CINEPHILES: TRACK STARS Scheduling can be a bitch! Just ask Rachel Weisz (The Mummy), who signed on to star alongside leading man Colin Firth (A Single Man) in the upcoming bio pic The Railway Man, but had to pull out due to reshoots on other films. One actor’s loss is another’s gain, as Firth personally invited Nicole Kidman to take on the role of his cinematic wife. Based on former British soldier Eric Lomax’s autobiography of the same name, The Railway Man retraces Lomax’s (Firth) life as he confronts the Japanese officer who tortured him during his time as a prisoner of war forced to work on the Thai-Burma Railway. The hanky-wetter earned a Standing O at the Toronto Film Festival and is generating serious Oscar buzz – sucks to be Weisz!
bought the mini-van that struck and GRIM SOUVENIR Horror novelist Stephen King nearly killed him so he could destroy it with a sledgehammer.
METHOD ACTING When it comes to getting into character, you have to give props to those actors out there prepared to push the boundaries – and then there’s Christian Bale. The American Psycho star took weight loss to near organ failure – shedding almost 30 kilograms from his 6-foot frame on a diet of water, an apple and one cup of coffee a day – to become a human stick insect for his role in 2004’s The Machinist. The following year, he buffed back up to his original weight for a very different look in Batman Begins. www.cityscape-christchurch.co.nz

The biggest street performance festival in Australasia is always a highlight of the Christchurch summer, and this year looks to be no exception. The 2014 event will see the return of last year’s stand out hit Le Gateau Chocolat, and in addition local-boy-made-good Sam Wills will take time out from his busy international touring schedule to bring The Boy with Tape on his Face back home to Canterbury. Featured comedians include Jeremy Elwood, Urzila Carlson and Michele A’Court, while clowns, contortionists, acrobats and the frankly indescribable are descending from Israel, USA, The Netherlands, Mexico, the UK, Australia and Christchurch suburbia. All told, the festival will feature 55 acts from 10 countries. Organisers have commented that the need to get in early to secure tickets to the popular theatre-type shows is only increasing every year, so don’t just sit there – get to www.worldbuskersfestival.com ASAP for full programme, venue and booking details.

THINGS WE LOVE ABOUT
summer IN CHRISTCHURCH
1. Sun, sandcastles and swimming at Sumner or New Brighton, followed by fish n’ chips. 2. Enjoying Sav and seafood on a deck by the water as the sun slowly goes down. 3. Renting a vessel at the Antigua Boatsheds and skippering a mission up the Avon. 4. The summer Sunday drive! Try Akaroa, Oxford, Diamond Harbour, or Waipara. 5. Grabbing a water bottle and hitting the bike trails at Bottle Lake Forest Park. 6. Short shorts and summer prints. 7. Night swimming under a silvery moon. 8. A sunny stroll through the Botanic Gardens, followed immediately by cancelling that exercise out with an ice cream. 9. Bright mornings at a farmers’ market with way too much good food to choose from. 10. Kicking off the shoes and going barefoot.
