Champagne darling?

I had one of those terrible headaches today. The kind which starts off behind your eye then moves across your brain, and threatens to take over the left-hand side of your body. Don’t feel sorry for me though, as it was all entirely self induced, thanks to a few impromptu drinks at Ponsonby’s new it bar:  The Longroom.

I caught up with friends who had recently returned from backpacking around Spain. I heard all the joyous tales about yummy tapas, cheap sangria, glorious beaches, clubbing Ibiza style and speaking Spanish with a lisp. We decided to pay a visit to The Longroom and take advantage of their buy one bottle get another bottle FREE Tuesday Champagne deal. Hence the headache.

Safari Lounge used to live in the spot which The Longroom has taken over, and was a particular favourite of mine in the past, but I’m pleased so say that The Longroom has made a good impression with me. The decor is beautiful, the staff are very friendly and the wee snacks are delicious. I reckon I’ll be back again some time soon.

Speaking of ‘Long’, it’s the long weekend very soon. Which means only one thing: 3 days of freedom. Woot!

See ya
