Our Summer 2020/21 issue is here

Nov 25, 2020 What's On

We’re back!

Our Summer 2020/21 issue is out now, and it’s the biggest one since December 1989. With a new look by DDMMYY, Metro may be a little bit shorter, glossier and thicker than before, but it’s been made with the same ambition we’ve always had: to celebrate Auckland, and hold it to account, since 1981.

Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in this issue.

Features:

An exclusive essay by Ella Yelich-O’Connor (Lorde) as she goes south to Antarctica.

Newshub political editor Tova O’Brien tells Metro why politicians have to be held accountable and why it’s not about ‘taking scalps’.

Cheap Eats 2020: the Top 50 places to get a feed under $20(ish) or less in our city, including a crowning of a Supreme Winner.

Our annual survey of the Auckland property market, including: the case of the ‘missing middle’; car-free apartments; a guide to buying off the plans; and a city-wide map guide to median rents and sale prices.

Plus:

There are columns from Morgan Godfery, Matthew Hooton, Alex Casey, Samuel Te Kani and Ashleigh Young; an essay on getting sober in the city by Noelle McCarthy; profiles on political campaigner Leroy Beckett, green fairy Aureila Ora and tattooist Tae Lee;

an expanded food section with recipes from the owners of Cheap Eats restaurants, hard seltzer, pavlova, piquette, and restaurant reviews;

Metro Arts, where we talk to Nigel Borell, the new curator of Māori art at Auckland Art Gallery about upcoming show Toi Tū Toi Ora: Contemporary Māori Art; new approaches to showcasing Pacific art with Vunilagi Vou and Moana Fresh; and the fight to save our independent cinemas;

your future as told by Tayi Tibble;

& more. Seriously, there’s more.

Latest issue shadow

Metro N°441 is Out Now.

It’s our annual, inflation-busting ‘Where to Eat for Less Than $25’ list (with thanks to Uber Eats) issue! PLUS the Summer Books Special and the Auckland Property Report Card (with thanks to Barfoot and Thompson). Also, Sir Bob Harvey looks into the missing treasures in our museums and talks to Jacqui Knight about monarch butterflies. AND NOT ONLY THAT: Emil Scheffmann looks into our secondary art market, Matthew Hooton and Morgan Godfery look into the new government, Jamie Wall into the tennis, Hana Pera Aoake into the Māori response to the war in Palestine and Abby Howells into being the lion in the Wizard of Oz. We also find the 10 Best Bakeries in Auckland, a great recipe for a Japanese Breakfast and the king of the supermarket pasta brands. All this and much, much more.
