"House of Koko is a cool, family-run cafe on the southern edge of Chapel Allerton and it’s a must-visit. You can get a cracking cup of North Star coffee or try one of their loose leaf teas, but don’t just come for the drinks – they have a creative food menu that’s worth checking out. Start with the classic buttermilk and berries pancakes for breakfast or come later in the day for eclectic dishes like their chicken & avocado salad or homemade baked beans on sourdough."

"Rather than being your trendy, modern coffee shop, it’s a traditional café with smooth, Italian coffee and the ultimate bacon sandwiches – think plenty of crispy bacon on freshly baked focaccia bread. All the food here is great in taste and portion size, along with the milkshakes and the cakes, and you’ll always get the friendliest service. It’s not really the kind of café I’d go and work in, but I’d definitely spend a lazy weekend morning in there eating my way through the menu at this Leeds coffee shop."
"San Co.co is a cheap and cheerful cafe that prides itself on being a fuss-free eatery. You can start with a coffee or one of their huge range of Twining teas, before choosing something from the menu.

"Set inside a large and elegant building, an £8 million development back in 2015 has seen York Art Gallery rise to one of the best regional galleries in the country. Boasting 7 exhibition spaces across 2 floors and an outdoor Artist’s garden, there’s plenty to see for the art lovers visiting York, including an internationally significant collection of ceramics spreading across 2 galleries and temporary exhibitions that mean there is always something fresh to see. Keep your eyes out for works by hugely famous artists such as Turner and Hockney."
"Grassington Folk Museum is a must for anyone interested in rural village history. The museum holds a selection of local items of interest and has friendly and knowledgeable staff."
"One of England's most impressive collections of sculpture is scattered across the formidable 18th-century estate of Bretton Park, 200-odd hectares of lawns, fields and trees. A bit like the art world's equivalent of a safari park, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park showcases the work of dozens of sculptors both national and international. The park is partly a homage to local heroes Barbara Hepworth (1903−75), who was born in Wakefield, and Henry Moore (1898−1986), though more of their works are on display at the Hepworth Wakefield."
"This outdoor gallery near Wakefield is in a former 18th-century estate encompassing more than 500 acres of fields, lakes, exotic trees,…"
"27/06/2021: 3 different meals..3 delighted customers...doesn't get better than that..service top notch tooi!!. 24/06/2021: My husband and I went on Father's Day. It was very busy, but well organized for Covid restrictions and well staffed."
"Its New York-inspired interior and state of the art DJ booth (don’t worry, it’s not blasting out tunes at 3pm in the afternoon) draw cool crowds, but there’s no doubt it’s one of Leeds’ most child-friendly bars. A warm welcome is extended to all, although their collection of 80s board games go down especially well with younger visitors. They don’t have a kids’ menu, but everything is such great value that you won’t mind one bit."
