Sylvia Park is by far the BEST mall in the WHOLE world! IMHO *giggle* St Lukes is ok, it's lost it's appeal with me, although it does have a Kmart and Farmers, no Warehouse though.
If you wanted to travel I'd go up to the Westfield Mall in Albany, again The Warehouse, Ezibuy etc is across the road, but they have a Farmers and Kmart.
If you come to Dressmart, I'll come down and say hi!!
Yes it's very easy to get too Mt Smart from Manukau, just jump on the back motorway and get off at Onehunga and drive up Neilson St to Church St...
All of the above is JMHO!

Yeap Manukau is much improved and the movies there are great! I've got loads of 2 adults for $20 vouchers too!
I'd go to Manukau, St Lukes and Silvia Park. SP annoys me as they always seem to be sold out of the things I want and I'm always disappointed in their food/coffee but it is a nice spacious mall. St Lukes has Farmers and K-Mart and the upgraded Manukau mall has some clothing places I really like.

I am a huge advocate for Sylvia Park - miles better than any of the same old Westfields, which have the same old shops. SP has lots of different shops like Redcurrant, a huge Borders (lose me for hours in there), and also great kids clothes as it has PP, JK, T&T, Cotton On Kids as well as a Baby Factory.
As for coffee, just go all the way up to the end past Pak & Save, and there is a Columbus opposite the Baby Factory. Food Courts are hideous whereever you go....
