Online today: a story I’ve wanted to write for a while on the best dining places in Wellington, New Zealand. I’m no food critic, but maybe that makes me a better judge of premises. It’s basically an expanded version of what I might write someone if they were to ask me where to dine, which was one of the inspirations behind it.
   Two are out of town: Cobar and Villa Margarita; the rest are within Wellington city. They all take American Express, not because we have some deal with them, but because it remains the only credit card brand I carry (never liked those bank ones, especially since so many New Zealand banks are owned by customer-hating foreigners).
