The final stop on our trip of the North with TransPennine reveal was to wonderful Manchester!
Before the trip kicked off, I asked my followers on social network for their suggestions of what to do as well as where to eat in York, Glasgow, Newcastle as well as Manchester as well as we went to the locations suggested. thanks guys!
A vibrant, hectic as well as of course, very well-known city, house to numerous a star as well as the world-famous guy U of course, my respect for this city runs deep.
A cultural melting pot, every cuisine you can possibly imagine can be consumed here- with the city providing visitors the ideal mix of culture, history as well as food in one dynamic place…Just don’t fail to remember your umbrella as it always seems to rain there!
Here’s the lowdown of what we got as much as in this buzzing city:
What to do:
The national Football museum is interesting whether you’re a fan of football or not. I personally like the gorgeous game myself as well as relished every minute of the nostalgic trip with the history of football at the museum.
I likewise liked having the chance to lift the Premier league trophy (won by Chelsea) despite the truth that I support Arsenal (holding a concrete piece of football history is quite special whomever you back), as well as the visual memoir of Pelés life in the exhibition: Pele, Art, Life, Football, dazzled us all.
The youngsters had a sphere as well (get it-ball #soz), playing both outside in the play area outside the museum, as well as within on the vintage football enjoyment games all of us rapidly ended up being addicted to.
It’s certainly a location we’ll be sure to go to again, soon.
After all that sporting excitement, we popped for a bite to eat in The Corn Exchange, a grade II noted building which housed prominent restaurants under one roof.
Next up was Manchester Cathedral, a second’s walk away. A spectacular cathedral in the city centre, we wandered around it, stated a prayer, lit a candle as well as felt totally peace in this haven nestled within the hectic city centre.
Manchester Art Gallery
Next stop was Manchester Art Gallery with an interactive, engaging area for youngsters where they can draw, play abstract musical instruments as well as play in unwinded surroundings (as well as look around the exhibitions of course), this location is the ideal introduction to art, for bit ones as well as as art-lovers we might have spent all the time there.
Where to Eat:
The makers Market hits the northern Quarter on the second Sunday of the month as well as there you’ll discover artwork, clothes, cakes, bakes, hot canine vans as well as antiques galore… as well as more. Don’t miss it!
For a sit-down meal head to house wonderful Home, a vintage food haven with two venues in Manchester. Bursting with traditional American food as well as well-known Cake Shakes which are essentially a meal in themselves- milk plus cake makes a cakeshake, we fell head over heels in like with this place.
The unwinded vintage aesthetic (we went to the fantastic northern branch which is the biggest) is THE location to opt for lazy brunch or lunch so you can scoff major comfort food as well as over-the-top indulgent treats to your heart’s content.
That’s my type of home!
Fish as well as chips for Oliver, veggie as well as beef burgers for the rest of us!
Another preferred was North Tea Power: a cool, industrial style coffee shop as well as restaurant in the northern Quarter with an extensive, tea, coffee as well as brunch as well as snack menu utilizing delicious, regional ingredients. Insta-cool as well as oh-so welcoming pop by with the Sunday papers as well as delight in some herbal tea with a hallumi avo salad.
Sausage sandwiches a-go!
Peppermint tea for me!
Espresso for Peter.
For dinner as well as something a bit bit special, celebrity-favourite San Carlo is what you need. With an comprehensive menu bursting with authentic Italian food, eat, drink as well as delight in star-gazing the glitterati of Manchester in this hot area that has broadened to other cities too.
Perfect for households in the daytime or for an early evening meal in addition to a charming date night location or bite as well as mixed drinks with the girls.
The beef carpaccio with caramelised onions as well as capers was divine.
