Here is my weekly blogpost with ideas of things to do if you live in or near to Leeds, Alnwick or New York:
|
WIN a
one-off tasting experience, a big family day out, a night at the opera or
an unmissable play...
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why not head to the seaside this
weekend? You can explore the scenic Yorkshire coast on foot with these
marvellous walks. With incredible sea views, quaint villages and historic
landmarks along the way, this will be one hell of a day out.
|

|
|
The Wild West is coming to The Royal
Armouries this summer and we're giving away tickets. You can see
stunt-riders from Atkinson Action Horses perform incredible tricks,
before enjoying lunch and an incredible Crossbow Challenge.
|
|
|
|
Jim Cartwright’s seminal 80s exploration
of love, friendship and class is coming to Leeds Playhouse. Road is a
must-see, which is why we're giving away tickets – and you can even enjoy
dinner at Brasserie Blanc before the show.
|
|
|
This secret cocktail bar is hidden
behind an unmarked doorway. The Maven is a Leeds institution, but
something's changed – they've opened a new restaurant where you can enjoy
carefully crafted small plates in a relaxed setting and you'll love it as
much as the original.
|
|
|
|
Save a few bob when you eat out this
month.

Eat Leeds Restaurant Week is back this
August, and to celebrate, we're giving you a chance to win a one-off food
and drink pairing at Ibérica. Enjoy four courses, each with a perfectly
matched drink, as they talk you through the combinations in front of
you.
|
|
|
|
The Merry Widow is a fun, frivolous
opera that feels like an old-school musical – expect big chorus numbers,
a rich melodic score and toe-tapping tunes. Enter now for a chance to win
4 tickets with dinner at Côte Brasserie before the show.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The summer holidays are here, so you've
got six weeks of quality time with the kids ahead of you, but how will
you keep them entertained? We've got the answer!

Greetings
New York,
If you haven’t
been to Prospect Lefferts Gardens yet, this
up-and-coming neighborhood is a must hit on the weekends. Located next to
Park Slope, picture a relaxing stroll enjoying the scenery on a sunny day
with friends or your dog. 🌆🌿🌞
Forget takeout or
fast food, take
a trip to Koreatown to discover some seriously good eats that will leave
you culturally enriched. 🇰🇷🍖🍰
Peace out NY and
remember to stay cool. 😎🚕✨

NYC Blues
New
York, we love you but you’re bringing us down.
Even with over
eight million people inhabiting NYC, living here can feel lonelier than
Britney circa “Hit Me Baby One More Time.”
So, what’s a New
Yorker to do during these solo stages?
Hear what these 22
city dwellers had to say about what perks them up whenever they’re feeling
blue in the big city. From the furry face of a cute dog to a relaxing walk in
Bryant Park, hopefully, you’ll also get some ideas on what to do when you’re
feeling down in the dumps.

|
We Love PLG
It’s
about time someone shined a light on Prospect Lefferts Garden, which
neighbors widely popular Park Slope.
With its vast West
Indian population, restaurants and shops in Prospect Lefferts Garden are
teeming with authenticity.
We definitely
recommend heading over to PLG Coffee House and Tavern to sip on an espresso
among the families, yuppies, and canine friends that often crowd the
establishment.
Afterward, take a
stroll in the neighborhood to enjoy the shrubbery as well as the some of the
lovely wall murals.
|
|
Curtain Call
Tired
of the summer heat and already done your time staying out of the sun at the
Met, The Guggenheim, and the Whitney?
Return to the
stage (and enjoy stellar AC) while you take in some of the hottest theatres
in town.
Catch exiting Sweeney Todd and A Bronx Tale or new shows Pretty Woman,
and Fiddler on the Roof with a Yiddish twist.
|
|
K-Town Eats
Taste
test the waters with a trip to Koreatown!
There’s never been
a better time to try Korean cuisine in NYC and with popularity growing, more
Korean restaurants have popped up in each borough at a rapid pace.
Our mouths are
watering over the wings at Pelicana Chicken Koreatown and you’ll definitely
catch us at Grace Street Coffee & Desserts enjoying a Korean donut loaded
up with cinnamon, sugar, and walnuts.
|
|
Free Concerts
Summertime
in the city means free concerts.
Catch everyone from Carly Rae Jepsen to Rapsody, Sister Nancy, and DJ
Misbehavior this month throughout the city.
|
|
Dude, Where's My Dog?
You’ve
probably heard that New Yorkers are all cutthroat and heartless but we’re
happy to report that we have kind-hearted residents living on our island as
well.
Read the true
story of a Brooklyn community that rallies to help an owner find her lost
pup, and the impact that small acts of kindness can have on a person.
