"A photo posted by Brunch and Bananas (@brunchandbananas) on Jan 29, 2017 at 3:43am PST.

The little brother to the ever so popular Tamper at Sellers Wheel, this small stylist café has been designed by its owners in keeping with their New Zealand roots. The coffee here tastes great and you you’ll never get bored of coming back as they are constantly changing the roast on offer."

Whether you want a coffee and donut on the fly or fancy hunkering down over a lovely Brunch for a couple of hours, Steam Yard offers it all. The pretty courtyard area is often filled with punters and their canine pals and is the perfect spot for people-watching."

"Steam Yard has spectacular coffee, a glorious courtyard and lots of colourful, gluten-free baked goods. It’s a casual spot that makes up for its lack of a sit-down menu with stacks upon stacks of doughnuts and cakes. In summer it brings in ice cream from Peak District Dairy and puts scoops of it inside doughnuts."

"From the makers of Altrincham’s Market House food hall, this city-centre spin-off corrals a similarly stellar lineup of traders (burger and steak stars Tender Cow, Honest Crust, Pico’s Tacos, New Wave Ramen, Mumma’s Fried Chicken) into Mackie Mayor, in the Grade II-listed former Smithfield market. Look out for irregular special events, such as dinners on 1 and 8 July with hotly tipped Manc pop-up Higher Ground, creators of the already-legendary oxtail madras pasty. No bookings, outdoor seating available, app-ordering, currently card-only."

"Opposite the Lowry on the south side of the Manchester Ship Canal in Trafford Park is one of five branches for the Imperial War Museum, opened in 2002. This remarkable building, with three interlocking metallic shards (invoking air, earth and water), was designed by Daniel Libeskind and intended to induce a feeling of disorientation apt for war. The entrance is in the 55-metre-high “air shard”, while the permanent exhibition is on the first floor in the “earth shard”."

"The Imperial War Museum North is another Salford attraction that’s most definitely worth a visit. It’s within walking distance of The Lowry so you could easily combine the two for a day out in Greater Manchester. The focus of the museum is modern conflicts and the building itself was designed to purposefully confuse and unsettle visitors through illogical angles and leaning floors."

"The award winning museum explores how our lives have been shaped by war, from a soldier’s last letter home, to the fall of New York City's World Trade Center. Address: The Quays, Wharf Road, M17 1TZ. Telephone: 0161 836 4000"

"The Midland Hotel, 16 Peter Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M60 2DS. Adam Reid has kept The French at the top of Manchester’s restaurant tree for many years, and while the grand dining room is opulent, the vibe feels less formal and the food continues to impress."
