Ponsonby Road's flavour shifting to hospitality

'Queuing for brunch and browsing the shops is a rose tinted memory.' That from a Ponsonby business who say landlords are willing to let some of Ponsonby road's more well known shops empty out in order to keep the rents high. Those who still have shops there say the famous road's flavour is shifting. From being a creative hub balancing fashion and eateries to now leaning heavily in favour of hospitality. Louise Ternouth went for a browse.
