Re:START Mall
MALL

;
Cashel Mall; 10am-5pm; )
This colourful labyrinth of shops based
in shipping containers was the first retail activity in the Christchurch CBD after the
earthquakes. With a couple of decent cafes and a good selection of stores, it's a pleasant
place to stroll. Note that Re:START is only intended to be temporary, so it may disappear
at any time.
Ballantynes

;
cnr Colombo & Cashel Sts; 9am-5pm)
A venerable Christchurch de-
partment store selling men's and women's fashions, cosmetics, travel goods and specialty
NZ gifts. Fashionistas should check out the Contemporary Lounge upstairs.
New Regent St
MALL
(
www.newregentstreet.co.nz
)
A forerunner to the modern mall, this pretty little stretch of
pastel Spanish Mission-style shops was described as NZ's most beautiful street when it
was completed in 1932. Fully restored post-earthquake, it's once again a pleasant place
to stroll and peruse the tiny galleries, gift shops and cafes.
