Five new central-city openings

Hamilton Central is growing up fast.

From the artisan bakery in the heritage BNZ building to the indie streetwear store on Ward Street, the last six months have brought five genuinely exciting new businesses to the CBD.

1. Atelier Bread

Sourdough, pastries, and Wednesday-only sandwich drops. Corner of Victoria & Collingwood.

2. Paper Plane Boutique

NZ-designed fashion in small batches. Worth the trip.
