"You must have been living under a rock if you haven't heard of Rudy's. The Neapolitan pizza masters only recently started doing takeaway (only collection at first) around lockdown, but we're so happy they're keeping it up - those queues and bookings out the wazoo at their Peter Street and Ancoats locations are impossible at times. They even started selling 'Bake at Home' kits, though you really need a proper oven to make it the way they do."

"Rudy’s is another great pit stop for vegans, with their specials board often providing a different dairy-free option every week. Rudy’s Neapolitan pizza dough is 100% vegan, and alongside their stunning marinara, any pizza on the menu can be asked for without cheese. No wonder they’re labelled the best pizzas in town."

"The building of the Dancehouse Theatre has had a fascinating history full of transformation, morphing from meeting halls to a multi-screen cinema complex. In the 1990s it was restored to its former Art Deco splendour and was reopened as The Dancehouse Theatre, home to the Northern Ballet School. While the venue presents a broad range of performances including comedy, music and drama, dance lies at the heart of this North West icon."
