Auckland is a thriving hub of creative architecture and multicultural cuisine and you can get a taste of all that in the effortlessly cool Kingsland community. It combines old and new, with quaint buildings wedged between trendy bars and cafes. You could shop, eat and drink in this area every day on your locum tenens assignment and still find something new.
Like the tiny eatery with a huge KiwiMex taste, El Camino. It serves not only phenomenal Kiwi-Mexican fare, but also plays the best local music in Auckland from open to close. It's reinvented more than just TexMex. Be sure to order the tender and flash-fried calamari salad while you're there.
Head west to WineHot, a Gallic wine bar and restaurant perfect for a classy night out on the town. It's full of gorgeous chandeliers and big plush sofas all to complement your French wine-and-dine experience. Oh, and try the local favorite: duck confit and French onion soup.
