Drinking and nightlife in Leeds, England
"The name, Sheffield, has its origins in Old English and derives from the name of a principal river in the city, the River Sheaf. This name, in turn, is a corruption of shed or sheth, which refers to a divide or separation.[8][9] The second half of the name Sheffield refers to a field, or forest clearing.[10] Combining the two words, it is believed that the name refers to an Anglo-Saxon settlement in a clearing by the confluence of the River Don and River Sheaf.[11]"
"Leeds Art Gallery, which opened in 1888, houses the best twentieth century collection outside London and a colourful wall painting for the Victorian staircase by Lothar Götz. The gallery is owned and operated by Leeds City Council and is free to members of the public. Just next door, The Henry Moore Institute hosts a year-round programme of historical, modern and contemporary exhibitions presenting sculpture from across the world."
"Portland stone lion statue, showing erosion of the soft stone. Victoria Hall showing the pipe organ and stage. The Town Hall is classical in style but suggestive of power and drama."
"Situated in Micklegate, York, Partisan is a family-run restaurant. This eatery creates a special menu every week to cater to vegan and vegetarian visitors and locals in town. The remarkable thing about Partisan is that it runs an arable farm on the city’s outskirts, where staff grows the herbs and vegetables used in making the restaurant’s tasty dishes."
"Again, this one involves eggs, especially on the daytime menu. But if that’s not a problem for you, then you will love this quirky spot. If you don’t eat eggs then you still have options and some very tasty ones too."
"Brew and Brownie fans will happily queue to sit in and enjoy the cracking coffee and delicious pancake stacks, but as it’s just across the road from the entrance to York Museum Gardens, why not order something to take away and enjoy in the Yorkshire sunshine?. Their sister cafe, Brew & Brownie Bakeshop, is just as lovely and they do takeaway salads, sandwiches and cakes too. Brew and Brownie, 5 Museum St, York YO1 7DT"

You get to choose any three dishes for £15 – it could be one of their spicy tofu bao buns, the asparagus bundle with crispy chicken and wafu dressing, or their acclaimed chicken karaage with wasabi mayo.
