Manchester

[Swissfox]

As I'll be spending the weekend in the Manchester city area, could the in-the-know people please suggest places to go/places to avoid on a Friday or Saturday evening?

And what's the best spot for breakfast/dinner?

Budget-sensitive tips only, please.
Thank you.

Find any Wetherpsoons for breakfast. Will be about £3 ... and if you go at 9am you can have a pint with it :icon_lol:

I live in Mancland, so I'll give you some suggestions later.

There's a travel lodge on Deansgate next to the Renaissance Hotel which is right in the city centre and about a 15 min walk from the station(well 10 mins how fast you walk!)
And just round the corner from said Travelodge is a Wetherspoons( can't remember the name if it though- summat to do with a moon)
but there's loads of cafes and suchlike within a few minutes walk.

Do you want me to bring your Man City ticket to the Preston game or are you happy to wander around aimlessly til I turn up at the ground?

I've already sorted out accomodation.

But thanks for the hint. And yes, meet you, the other lot and the two tickets at Deepdale on Saturday.:icon_bigg

The Moon under Water is quite a common Wetherspoons name.

Is it?

I wouldn't know as I'm not the sort of person who goes in many pubs.......

Seven days a week, both day and night avoid the canal towpath between the back of Piccadilly station and Castlefields, unless you like walking ankle-deep in used condoms.

Decent cheap meals in Chinatown, especially if you eat earlier on.

I understand that last time a popular member of this forum was in that area, he popped down to nearby Canal Street and photographed the street sign with the two initial letters obscured.

Steven?

Steven?

He'd have obscured more than two letters

 

[Boy Genius]

He'd have obscured Salford

Harsh but fair.
