The night time hustle of downtown Auckland’s Commerce St is home of only 3 years to New Zealand icon of 60 years: ‘The Whitelady’ Pie Cart. Originally opened in Fort St by ‘Pop’ Washer as a milkshake cart back in 1948, it was more significantly home to Auckland’s first decent coffee. Son Peter later took over the cart in 1974 and has been running it as a burger joint every single night, ever since...but this icon was losing its touch; a loved Kiwi institution that looked like it may have to shut up shop.
