"What: Taking its inspiration from the New York nightlife, you'll feel like you've teleported to a Manhattan rooftop when stepping out onto the terrace at East 59th. Contemporary American dishes including burgers and prawns cooked on the BBQ are accompanied by creative cocktails, which can be enjoyed late into the night. Saturday nights see DJs take to the decks on the terrace, making it a particularly great place to come with friends.Where: 3rd Floor Rooftop, Victoria Gate, George Street, LS2 7AU"
"East 59th’s jungle-like roof terrace is blessed with south-facing views over the city’s skyline, which you can take in at your leisure over dinner, and if the weather doesn’t play, you can cosy up under their heat lamps and parasols to keep warm. From the East Cheeseburger to the Seafood Platter, they have a menu of New York-inspired eats to fill your belly. Fancy something lighter?"
"Address: Victoria Gate, 3rd Floor Rooftop, George St, Leeds LS2 7AU. Phone number: 0113 426 5050. East 59th boasts a sophisticated Manhattan-style rooftop restaurant, where you can drink and dine in style."
"If you want to know where all the beautiful people of Leeds head when the sun shines, then take a trip to Angelica. Located in Trinity shopping centre, this rooftop bar and garden is the closest you’ll get to Ibiza without hopping on a plane. With panoramic views of Leeds, plush white furniture, and a stunningly curated cocktail list, Angelica brings the glamour."
"Situated in the very centre of this exciting city, Headrow House is a fantastic all-day bar and nightclub that draws inspiration from its history as a former textile mill whilst maintaining a cosy and modern feel with its German beerhall-style seating. Spread out over multiple floors, this venue hosts DJ sets on club nights at the weekend and makes for a great backdrop to an awesome night. Spread out over four floors, this huge space even has two roof terraces where you can enjoy some fresh air and views of the rest of the city!"
"There's a lot worth eating at Headrow House's resident restaurant, Ox Club, but you've not really lived until you've eaten their signature wood-fired steak & chips whilst sampling the wares of the Beer Hall. There's just something about eating possibly the best steak of your life from a takeaway box that feels both dirty and decadent at the same time."
"Headrow Houseis home to Michelin Guide recommended restaurant Ox Club. Take a walk upstairs to the Headrow House roof terrace and see the neon lights of one of Leeds’ most famous landmarks. There are two levels, the upper level, Kennedy Meadows offers views of Victoria Quarter, the domes of Kirkgate Market and Victoria Gate."
"Overlooking the River Aire at Granary Wharf, Water Lane Boathouse is one of the best alfresco dining spots in Leeds. It’s great when the sun’s shining, but don’t worry, they have heaters and covered seating too. Their menu takes a two-pronged approach – Neapolitan-style sourdough pizza, made in a hand-crafted Italian oven, and juicy burgers, stacked high with everything from Yorkshire beef to Magic Mountains vegan patties."
"Situated by the canal, in summer this place hosts gorgeous views. A little further out than others, it is worth it as it's perched on the edge of Lock Number One at Leeds' Canal Wharf, and offers some delicious pizza."
"Water Lane, Leeds LS11 5PSOverlooking Granary Wharf and the Leeds & Liverpool canal, Water Lane Boathouse serve an easy menu, with vegan pizzas and salad bowls."
"The Malmaison hotel in the converted Leeds City Tramways Office puts modernity and comfort at the heart of its mission, and has more than 100 stylish and fun rooms to choose from. A short walk from Leeds railway station, this is the ideal spot for those looking to embark on day trips out of the city. High-end shopping’s available nearby at the Trinity Leeds leisure centre, which has a wealth of large and boutique outlets for quality spending."
"Once a bus and tram company office, this hotel retains its unique architecture, including a vaulted ceiling and quirky rooms, which come in different shapes and sizes. Leeds city centre is a 5-minute walk away. The air-conditioned rooms at Malmaison Hotel Leeds are modern in design, with a spacious bathroom and bespoke toiletries."
"Malmaisons are dotted across the country but the Leeds outpost manages to feel like an independent boutique hotel. This plush, atmospheric establishment set in a Victorian office block is imposing and intimate at the same time. It makes a perfect overnight stay for anyone wanting a weekend in the city."
"YORKSHIRE TAPAS - A modern twist to the British Grazing Style dishes influenced only by Yorkshire!. Naturally-sourced produce and ingredient-led dishes are de ..."
"There are so many beers and ciders at The Beer House that I struggled to decide what to order. For the first round, I went for something that I was familiar with, a Strongbow. Later on, I tried another fruity cider called Rekorderlig, which I recommend if you like sugary drinks."
"York has some fabulously chic Cocktail bars at its heart around The Quarter (the central collection of streets located between Stonegate and Petergate). Bobo Lobo isn’t just one of York’s finest Cocktail bars and grills, it’s also a top venue for private parties and functions with two floors and a DJ on request. Why not make their ‘Cocktail Mixology Master Class’ part of your private party!"
"One of the Best Bottomless Brunch destinations in York, located along the city’s busy Stonegate street. Stumble into the Botanist and you would be forgiven for thinking you had walked into a secret garden. Their menu is short and as sweet as their triple-layered french toastie, with veggie and vegans also looked after."
"The Botanist have a fresh new offering for brunch that you can upgrade to bottomless brunch if you would like (and what’s not to like?). You choose a dish from six different sections of the menu – each section has three options."

"When it comes to hot dogs, there’s only one place you need to visit – Fat Annie’s. They’ve been cooking up brilliant bangers since 2014 and they’re really ruddy good at it. The Classic is a locally made pork and beef dog, but if you fancy mixing it up a little you’ve got options, like The Cheese One, which is a Big Melt sausage, with pork, beef, bacon, garlic and cheese."
"Kerala Restaurant is highly reputed for the tasty and authentic South Indian cuisine that they serve to all their customers and guests. Welcoming all individuals and groups even people with special dietary requirements, they serve a wide variety of dishes that would certainly whet your appetite and fit the needs and preferences that you have.

"When the queues for Betty’s are just too long (and when aren’t they?) head over to Mama Doreen’s for a (we say better) alternative. Vintage chic is everywhere, and in amongst all that are rows upon rows of sweetshop-style jars and what Doreen’s dubs “proper Yorkshire cupcakes”. The Emporium’s an afternoon tea spot, but that doesn’t mean they’ve neglected their coffee."
"Popular Harrogate tearoom, Mama Doreens Emporium, announced on Tuesday it will be closing its eating area in line with Government guidelines. The James Street business will still be open for takeaway options and will now be offering an alternative afternoon tea service, delivered direct to customers doors."

A microwave is available for customers to use themselves, plastic cutlery for kids & colourin-in on the kids menu."
