"Nestled in the heart of Liverpool, just off Bold Street, The Egg Cafe is set in the light and airy loft space of an old Victorian warehouse building. Offering panoramic views of the city, this cosy café is one of Liverpool’s best vegetarian eateries with a relaxed and bohemian atmosphere. So, it should come as no surprise that this veggie café also does a splendid veggie Sunday roast dinner."
"An elaborate vine leaf design, reminiscent of Grimm’s fairy tale illustrations, leads the way up a stairwell to a narrow double doorway in the same red-violet hue that gives access to the café – a large attic filled with wooden tables and all the ambiance of a monastery refectory. The barrier between stranger and friend is often lost here, over delicious and affordable food."
"The Egg Cafe is a Liverpool institution for vegetarians and vegans. The café serves vegan soups, daily specials, vegan spicy beanburger, salads, quiche, and more. The menu is currently being revamped."

"\In 1924, upmarket department store Hendersons opened on Church Street where you’ll now find H&M. The Hendersons store was known as a real special occasion shop, renowned for intimidating Beauty Counter ladies who also sold chocolates!. The store went on to be so successful, it sold to Harrods in 1948, but Liverpool’s branch of Hendersons will always be linked to tragedy after the worst fire damage seen in the city since The Blitz, took hold of the building in June 1960, bringing the city centre to a standstill and resulting in 11 people losing their lives."
"Manchester Opera House is the Palace Theatre’s little sister. It’s located on Quay Street, near Spinningfields. It is smaller than the Palace theatre however, there are still some amazing productions to see here."
"Royal Exchange Theatre, St Ann’s Square, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M2 7DH - Visit now. This former trading hall underwent a £32m redevelopment after being severely damaged by the 1996 IRA bomb in Manchester’s city centre – and has been delivering stellar productions from its unusual seven-sided glass and steel theatre-in-the-round (the biggest in the UK), and smaller (but still excellent) studio, ever since. Productions here are renowned – both Vanessa Redgrave and Helen Mirren have graced the Royal Exchange’s stage."
"One of the undisputed grande dames of Liverpool's cultural landscape, the Bluecoat gallery is housed in the oldest building in the city centre; originally a schoolhouse and dating from the early 18th century, the building enjoys Unesco world heritage and Grade I-listed status. Although boasting a rich history: it hosted the first Post Impressionist exhibition in 1911, including works by Picasso, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Matisse and Gauguin – it is, nevertheless, an institution facing forwards. Not without initial local controversy, the arts centre underwent significant architectural redevelopment in 2008 and continues to be a staple for those hoping to spot emerging and mid-career artists."
"Another beautiful example of a Grade I listed building in the city, the Bluecoat has 300 years of history and is a central hub of visual art, literature, dance, music, and family entertainment. There is also a relaxing courtyard where you can sit and take advantage of the café, and plenty of independent stores on the grounds, including florists, jewellers, and dress makers. Look out for regular art exhibitions, book fairs and record fairs."
"Situated in the heart of the city centre in Church Street retail area, is the distinctive Bluecoat Chambers. Built in 1716-17 as a charity school, Bluecoat Chambers in School Lane is the oldest surviving building in central Liverpool. Following the Liverpool Blue Coat School’s move to another site in 1906, the building was rented from 1907 onwards by the Sandon Studios Society."
"04/05/2021: Hi guys, Karen here, just reviewing this restaurant, if you can even call it that, i wanted to try Nando’s because my kids have been saying i need to be cooler so i thought i would give it a go and go down with the kids, and god help the future generation of this is the food they like!. I went with my dearest friends from the launderette, wendy Janet and Susan, Susan left because she got the poos, and i was highly dissatisfied by the way we were treated, upon entering the restaurant, a dirty, shaggy haired youth greeted us with a small grunt, immediately we were put off, but we ventured forth into the poorly decorated and shabby restaurant. the food gave me the poos it so spicy and it burnt my cheeks off in the morning!"
