Venues and Green Spaces
Mayfield Park opens this September, marking Manchester’s first new city center public park in more than 100 years. The 6.5-acre park lies adjacent to Piccadilly Station and features open greens, an urban square, floodable meadows and biodiverse ecological areas by the river. Mayfield Park also includes sheltered areas and more rugged greenery to provide visitors with a wide variety of environments.
This recently opened, former train line now serves as an urban park. Similar to New York’s High Line, the Grade II-listed Castlefield Viaduct underwent a great transformation thanks to the National Trust. This July, the National Trust opened half of the 330-meter viaduct to the public as part of a phase-one trial. Further plans to open the rest of the viaduct are in process.

Manchester’s oldest music venue, dating back to the 19th century, expanded, inviting guests to explore its new interior. After reopening its door in March, the 500-capacity venue now features a new bar and a smaller, 80-capacity stage for more intimate performances. Band on the Wall also recently partnered with This Charming Naan to serve guests 100-percent, plant-based naans, calzones and small plates.

Slated to reopen this September, New Century Hall underwent extensive restorations to accommodate its 800-capacity space. New Century Hall boasts a sprung dance floor and 1960s-style disco ceiling. Having hosted great artists like Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones, New Century Hall continues to wow guests with its restored accompanying food and drinks space. Two-time Great British Menu winner Adam Reid joins the venue through a new concept called The Butty Shop, serving delicious food and drinks to guests.
Restaurants
Maray comes to Manchester, bringing its famous Middle-Eastern flavors and recipes to Albert Square. Originally based in Liverpool, Maray’s newest restaurant in Manchester marks its largest restaurant to date and its fourth restaurant overall.

Kampus, Manchester’s newest neighborhood, takes the title as Manchester’s foodie hot spot, featuring a wide variety of eateries and breweries. Recent openings in Kampus include Nell’s New York Pizza and the renowned bakery, Pollen.

While cooler and milder weather in Los Angeles means a pleasanter travel experience (particularly for a Floridian accustomed to humid summer heat), the drier weather also often means lingering and visual effects on the skin, something I began to feel the moment I stepped off my plane in the City of Angels. Low humidity and winter weather might be great for my hair, but my skin was tired and dry and eager for some much- needed nourishment and hydration.
