Show Notes
It's the end of an era, as a Wellington cultural icon is set to go up for sale.
The Green Parrot café, which first opened in 1926, has hosted celebrities, politicians and travellers for the last 97 years.
It's on the market - with an asking price of $200,000.
Co-owner Chris Sakoufakis says his father, Kosta Sakoufakis, is ready to retire- and he hopes someone else will take it over to the hundred-year mark.
"Because I'm so busy with real estate, I can't commit to the Green Parrot. Someone needs to take over and hopefully take it to the hundred years."
