I stayed at the YMCA very close to Karaghape road during my stay in Auckland, so I used to walk along this road alot. Looking at these pictures brought back some nice memories, thanks for posting.

Long known as Auckland's red light district, K Rd is now rather more tame. It is still home to numerous 'adult' shops and clubs, gay bars, and old style pubs, but increasingly has some great cafes, bars, and art galleries as they spread down the strip from Ponsonby Road. Seems to have lost its once Pacific Island feel and is now more taken over by newer Asian arrivals. More interesting for people watching than Ponsonby Road, but don't leave your wallet next to you on an outside table - well would you anywhere?

Multiple guide books, etc. mentioned this street as a cool place to visit. Since it was just south of our hotel, we checked it out, but only saw really shady sex shops and dumpy convenience stores, the one we stopped in tried to rip me off. I then avoided this street the rest of our trip, you should do the same.

We can find lots of Muslim halal eateries here and our favourites is Aydin Portugese Grilled Chicken. Very delicious indeed and we really missed the food there. There are also lots of second hand stores. We never feel tired of walking from Simon Street till the end of K Road... we really enjoy our long walk due to the many value for money shops along the streets..

Unusual shops, anything from sex shops to second hand clothes stores. You could definitely pick up some strange and great souvenirs from K Road. But I'd recommend doing so during the day. It probably gets a bit wild at night, there are plenty of clubs and bars etc. If you're into that kind of thing, go nuts.

PS. If you're thinking of getting a tattoo, K Road is your place.
