What's open on Good Friday in Hamilton?

Good Friday is a restricted trading day in New Zealand — most shops and supermarkets close by law. Petrol stations, dairies, cafes and some tourist venues stay open. In Hamilton, city-centre venues are most likely to deviate from national patterns — check individual branches.
