Hello Maggie
If Disneyland is a little far to go for nostalgia, try Dunedin. Local fave, Morning Magpie cafe has recently undergone a makeover to transform into Maggies: a tearoom, bar and arcade. Kitted out with the 80s’ best arcade games, it’s also the go-to joint for casual chess nights, knitting clubs, music gigs and art shows. morningmagpie.co.nz/maggies
