Not sure what to do this weekend? Here are a few ideas for those of my followers who live in, near to or are visiting Leeds, Bradford and New York:
The
shops have reopened and here's how to get around Leeds...

We're only just coming
out of lockdown, but we've already caught wind of six new additions
coming soon to Leeds. From gyms and zero-waste stores in the suburbs to
salons and salad bars in the city centre, there's a little something for
everyone here, so if you want to start your day on a positive note, make
this your morning read.

Leeds city centre has
reopened to shoppers with a raft of new safety measures in place, but
where can you go and what should you expect? We've got the lowdown on all
the big shopping centres and high street stores, so you can plan your
trip.
|
|
|
|
The Streets, The
Zutons and Tom Grennan – they're just three of the acts coming to Leeds
for the UK's first drive-in music concerts. This is your chance to enjoy
live music in a safe, socially-distanced way, at one of 17 gigs taking
place between July and September.
|
|
|
Outdoor spaces have
become our go-to when we want to leave the house, but that means they're
busier than usual right now, so what if you want to avoid the crowds?
These outdoor gardens and grounds are all ticketed, which means numbers
are strictly limited to make social distancing easy. Just make sure you
snap up those tickets before everyone else.
|
|
|
|
Turn your home into a
cocktail bar with these delicious deliveries.
|
|
|
Not long now!
Restaurants will be reopening soon, but in the meanwhile, why go without
your favourite burgers? These five travel amazingly well, so you can
feast on burgers piled high with delicious toppings, all in the comfort
of your own home.
|
|
|
|
The shops have
reopened, restaurants and bars will follow soon, but how are you going to
get around? We've taken a look at all the options, from walking and
cycling to public transport, so you'll know what's being done and how to
stay safe on the move.

What's

the short film, "Unfinished

for a future of peace.

Global Representation
Storytelling
is essentially a vessel for sharing culture and ideas, and food journalism is
similarly a modern form of this communication. Today, with a keen eye for
race politics and "whitewashing", foodies are developing a distaste
for writers and food bloggers repackaging dishes and flavors from different
cultures and feeding it back to the mainstream.
Learn more about
racism in the food industry and how major publications continue to apologize
for manipulating dishes and flavors for palatability.
