Manchester List by Hello965
Well, I didn’t spend a lot of time here BUT, I got to find and save so many things! I started off by finding speciality coffee places since its was raining (my visit is in March 2023!)
Neighborhoods:
I walked around and liked the Northern Quarter. This trendy neighborhood is full of independent shops, cafes, and street art. It’s a great place to wander around and soak up the atmosphere. The street art is constantly changing, so there’s always something new to see.
Spinningfields: This modern business district is home to some of Manchester ’s best restaurants and shops. It’s a great place to go for a fancy dinner or to do some high-end shopping.
Castlefield: This historic neighborhood is home to some of Manchester’s oldest buildings and has a beautiful canal running through it. It’s a great place to go for a walk and take in the city’s history and architecture.
Ancoats: This former industrial area has been transformed into a trendy neighborhood with a thriving food scene. It’s a great place to go for brunch or to try some of Manchester’s best street food.
Chorlton: This leafy suburb is known for its independent shops, bars, and restaurants. It’s a great place to go for a relaxed afternoon stroll and to check out some of the city’s best vegetarian and vegan eateries.
Didsbury: This upmarket suburb is home to some of Manchester’s wealthiest residents and has a charming village-like feel. It’s a great place to go for a coffee or a spot of shopping.
