Eat
For a cracking meal out on Friday night try the new Supper and a Cuppa menu at Teacup on Thomas St. in the Northern Quarter. Go for the Himalayan Meaty Momo filled with beef stew and umami vinaigrette for a main course and for pudding it has to be the Manchester Tart (insert obvious jokes here).

Drink
Pop into Michael Caines Champagne and Cocktail Bar at Abode for a drink with friends on Saturday night. A round of Flirtinis with raspberry and tropical fruits topped with champagne or a round of Bloodhounds with vodka in cherry liqueur, raspberries and cranberry juice sould be a great way to start the night.
