Iain Duncan uncovers the best Manchester has to offer in terms of food, drink, parties and shopping.
Panacea
My favourite city centre expression comes into play when referring to Panacea - tits, tans and polished teeth, with a smashingly nice handbag thrown in! Panacea (pictured) never fails to amuse me with its fab cocktails and fashionable patrons. The bartenders have to be the friendliest in town - always chatting and flirting with you! If you have a friend in town, this is the place to take them to give them a taste of the Manchester night scene.
Manchester United
Sharon Burns, venue marketing manager at Manchester United, is the lady who is making sporting history at Old Trafford. Ever fancied a party with a twist? Old Trafford has hospitality facilities to support every event - from a small birthday party to a corporate Christmas do. Combine the state-of-the-art facilities with a private tour of The Theatre of Dreams and you have a party that is in a league of its own - all on our doorstep.
Feather & Black
Here is a subtle way to announce that I have the best bed in Manchester! During a trip to the top of Deansgate one Saturday afternoon, I came across what can only be described as a homage to sleep - keeping my smutty thoughts out of this. Ask for Craig - the sleep master! He will tease you onto his mattress, wrap you in bed sheets and beat you with his pillows. After your Feather & Black adventure, drop into Evuna next door for a glass of wine and some tapas.
The Birdcage
One wet Wednesday night in March, coming out of the Printworks after an evening at the cinema, I look left and see the biggest queue in Manchester - not in a 'out in the rain' fashion but as a direct result of the success of The Birdcage opposite the Printworks. Hands up to Marcus and Warren from the aforementioned cabaret and nightclub - they have really planted themselves in Manchester's nightclub scene.
Nando's
No, not the chicken-lickin' eatery of the Printworks, nor the chicken-lickin' eatery at the Trafford Centre but a brand new chicken-lickin' eatery in the Arndale Centre. Nando's serves up the best Portuguese chicken, the finest corn on the cob and the spiciest rice in Manchester. Make this your lunchtime adventure!
March on Stage
Peter Hook, David Potts and The Durutti Column are the highlights of the March on Stage live music concert series at the Hard Rock Manchester. 'Hooky' and 'Pottsy' are playing together for the first time in seven years, and The Durutti Column is the first band signed by Factory Records. Check out hardrock.com/manchester for event details.
The vortex
This is your last chance to see the lovely Will Young in his theatre debut at the Royal Exchange. I'll be moved to shed a tear on your behalf if you miss it!
