The Scoop
NEW IN TOWN So many new treasures to discover, it’s hard to know where to start! Guys, Working Style has opened on Papanui Road. The feel is of a private club – drop in and pay a visit. Caffeine addicts rejoice because Joe’s Garage is bringing its special formula to a new outlet in Upper Riccarton (opening later this month). And, particularly exciting for the Sydenham-based Cityscape crew, The Monday Room is opening this month on Moorhouse Avenue; it’s in just the right spot to become our new fav for Friday night drinks. Of course, the other big news is the reopening of City Mall with a selection of shipping-container boutiques and Ballantynes as the iconic anchor at its heart. The timing couldn’t be better for stocking your summer wardrobe and picking up Christmas gifts.
WORD ON THE STREET Guys, Sergios is finally open in Merivale Mall. Park Avenue Fashions also has a new location – now you can find your party frocks at 363 Lincoln Road. Speaking of party season, Barbara Lee has released a new collection in time for Cup & Show Week (at Quinns Merivale). Bryce Gallery has reopened ...
Cityscape's back with all the must-have info on where to eat, drink and shop in Christchurch
Well, it’s been quite a year in Christchurch. Defined by the unexpected, it’s been one of a kind (we hope!). But as the year draws to a close and we think about comfortingly familiar pleasures like Christmas and summer holidays, it’s clear that life does go on and although the city might have taken some knocks, it will prevail. No, it won’t look quite the same as it did before, but it will evolve and grow and offer us new opportunities. You only have to look at the bars and shops opening up in shipping containers to be reminded that there is opportunity behind every setback. 
We’re already discovering our new favourite haunts and there will be plenty more exciting new treasures to seek out in the coming months. Make sure you embrace it. Enjoy!

Stronger Christchurch World Buskers Festival

Hold onto your hats for 10 days and 11 nights of entertainment by 60 top street performers from around the globe.

SOMO in the City: Lonely Planet picks up on Christchurch’s ‘new cool’
A Lonely Planet writer has dubbed Christchurch one of New Zealand’s most exciting cities and, what’s more, he’s picked up the new term coined by Cityscape: SOMO (South of Moorhouse).
The New Court Theatre: A super-cool development for Christchurch culture
… it sounds a little sacrilegious given just how much we loved The Court Theatre in the ambient surrounds of Christchurch’s Arts Centre, but the theatre’s new venue in Addington may just be even better than the original!
