Where’s best to go for your dinner in town?
I like to go to Bem Brasil!
Of course! Where would you take someone to show them the real Manchester?
Northern Quarter. I love the coffee shops there, it’s a nice vibe.
What’s your favourite Mancunian neighbourhood?
That's the Northern Quarter, for the same reason. It’s like a different location.
What are the five words that best describe the city?
