The Insider's Guide to New Zealand
Article
Jack Mitchell-Anyon’s grandfather wrote for the Wanganui Chronicle and his uncle was a press photographer, so it’s only proper that he’s fetched up in the old wedge-shaped former Chronicle building. Article stocks vintage clothes, local art and bric-a-brac. Jack’s one of the natives who left town and came back. “There were all these cool, artistic things happening,” he says.
After stocking up on vintage clothes, drink coffee – Devil’s Cup, roasted in Patea just down the road – at one of the large tables and read the Chronicle, New Zealand’s longest continuously published newspaper. Closed Sunday to Thursday. Corner Rutland and Drews Avenue. 027 752 2472, on Facebook.
