...and on the sixth day, God created Manchester
That's what the tee shirts that came out of Afflecks in the late '80s said anyway, and who can argue when you look inside the latest Hoxton Mini guide to the city - its a bloomin Eden of shopping, eating and culture, and nightlife.
Amongst the museums, hotels and markets, are some of our favourite retail spaces, including The Modernist, village Books, and Rare Mags. It's a really contemporary take on a city that is constantly on the move.
Speaking of being on the move, there are 5 walking maps to take you navigating the Northern Quarter, sidling around Stockport or sauntering about in Salford.
No dark satanic mills round these parts.
