New Pocket Manchester guide released

October sees new art exhibitions, fashion collections, restaurant menus, plays and musicals are what urban life is about at this time of year.

Events to look out for include the annual Manchester Literature Festival (Oct 15 to 25) and the Food And Drink Festival (Oct 1 to 12). To enjoy a taste of the highlife, why not give Manchester’s Big Wheel in Exchange Square a spin, and check out some of the world-class stores that the city centre has to offer too. From the Apple shop to Harvey Nichols, Vivienne Westwood to Urban Outfitters and Heals, Manchester’s got the best selection in the North West.

Having worked up an appetite, tuck into steak and kidney pudding at Sam’s Chop House, modern British creations at Harvey Nichols Second Floor Restaurant while international flavours can be found at upmarket Italian, San Carlo, and Bem Brasil’s two grill houses. Specialising in flavours hot and spicy, Karims, East Z East and The Cottage are recommended, while to drink, the options run from hip haunts such as The Northern, to real ales at the Marble Arch and, of course, cocktails at Azzure, Apoteca, The Lowry and more. Enjoy!
