"As the name suggests, the Imperial War Museum takes visitors on a walk through military history. There is a range of interactive and static exhibits here and the museum sits on The Quays, another iconic area of Manchester. Afterwards, pop over to Elnecot for a tasty bite to eat."
"Housed inside a former Edwardian pumping station, the People’s History Museum is one of the city’s most exciting institutions, dedicated to the history of democracy in the UK. Covering subjects much more radical than your average museum, exhibits chart the past two hundred years of working-class life for the people of Britain. Pay a visit to learn more about the fight for the vote whilst perusing one of the largest public collections of political material in Britain."
"The People's History Museum, known as the national museum of democracy, is tasked with studying and preserving the history of working people in the U.K. It looks at the past, present, and future, and houses exhibits on "ideas worth fighting for," a particularly engaging topic for anyone invested in what's going on in today's society. The museum displays nearly 1,500 historic objects, with the largest collection of trade union and other banners in the world."
"The story of Britain's 200-year march to democracy is told in all its pain and pathos at this superb museum, housed in a refurbished Edwardian pumping station. You clock in on the 1st floor (literally: punch your card in an old mill clock, which managers would infamously fiddle with so as to make employees work longer) and plunge into the heart of Britain's struggle for basic democratic rights, labour reform and fair pay."
"From Egyptian mummies and dinosaurs, to live reptiles and the world’s oldest horse. With an expansive collection of oddities and some of history’s most important specimens, Manchester Museum really holds up amongst the nation’s best. The University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PL (museum.manchester)"
"Head to the late-Victorian neo-Gothic building for amazing architecture which will add a splash of sophistication to your feed. John Rylands Library was opened to the public in 1900 and looks more like a castle or cathedral rather than a place to loan out books. Venture into the Reading Room with its ornate wooden carvings and designs, for the best photos."
"John Rylands Research Institute and Library, 150 Deansgate, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M3 3EH - Visit now. John Rylands Library houses a collection of rare books that spans five millennia – including an original Gutenberg Bible – in a neo-Gothic building that took nine years to build."
"What: Also known as The Clock Café, LS6 has a long history to it and is in fact one of the longest running independent businesses in Leeds to this day. It might not have served a brunch menu when it first opened but it certainly does now, and mighty fine one at that. The menu, which is split into sections like 'eggs' and 'muffins' covers everything from toast and jam to a full Yorkshire breakfast, as well as offering a selection of sandwiches and wraps too.Where:14-16A Headingley Lane, LS6 2AS"
"What:It might be easy to get lost in LS6’s quirky interiors, but we would recommend paying at least some attention to the menu. We’re big fans of the extensive breakfast menu on the weekends, which includes everything from porridge to burgers, alongside a build-your-own option and a drunken cheese toastie made with beer sauteed onions.Where: 14-16A Headingley Lane, LS6 2AS"
"LS6, otherwise known as The Clock Cafe, has one of the best breakfast menu’s going. They then follow this up with a separate brunch menu, so there is no end of choice. Choices range from a classic Yorkshire Full English to the Huevos Rancheros if you’re up for trying something a bit different."
"Calico Jack Restaurant focuses on serving freshly prepared Tex-Mex and Italian dishes, with a unique nautical flair. Tuck into the ‘Davy Jones’ or ‘Captain Hook’ burger or opt for one of their mouth-watering pizzas. The eatery also serves a range of themed cocktails to accompany your meal."
"By far one of the Northern Quarter’s most unique hangouts in all its brightly-coloured glory, you can pop by Siop Shop this weekend to get yourself that quick caffeine fix, and perhaps a sweet doughnut treat too if that takes your fancy. 53 Tib Street, Manchester M4 1LS. You can find more information via the Siop Shop website here."
"Dessert fans visiting Manchester shouldn’t have without trying the best doughnuts in town. Mine was filled with blackcurrant cheesecake (minus the base) and was probably the best £2 I’ve ever spent. Where: SiOP SHOP cafe on Tibb Street and at the Makers Market held in the Northern Quater on the second Sunday of each month."
"If you’re a lover of all things Italian and don’t mind a tongue-twister, Le Delicatezze Di Bruno will cater for all your carbohydrate needs. Conveniently based in Manchester’s city centre – you can indulge in a 20” pizza for roughly £16."
"Although Northern Quarter regulars may have already sampled the delights of Smithfield Social with its roadside terrace, not many have seen the interior yet. Smithfield Social, a joint venture from Jobe Ferguson and Anthony Fielden of TNQ, and Liam Fray of The Courteeners, has taken over the old Teacup Kitchen site on Thomas Street. It's been transformed into a smart all-day dining destination, inspired by Liam's favourite hangouts in the Lower East Side of Manhattan."
