as it say on a fri or sat please?

Day or night?

Go to the Curry Mile for a curry.

Visit some pubs and drink real beer.

Visit the Museum of Science & Industry.

You’re going to gave to be a bit more specific really if you want some tailored recommendations.

there are so many places you might need to be specific, the tapas on deansgate is really nice, demitris further down is also good, I’d personally go to somewhere like Akbar for a curry. better food that most of the rusholme restaurants which can be a bit variable and generally over-rated I think.
You could literally walk around the city centre and fall into any type of restaurant you like, or the chop house is good for carnivorous types.

El Rincon de Rafa just off St. John Street is well worth a visit. Bit of a hidden gem.

Luck, lust, liquor and burn in the northern quarter.

I misread the fourth option in Tom’s list. 😳

liquor in the front
poker in the back

Quiet at the back!
