👋 Hello

This list began as notes on my phone, then evolved into a Word document, and has now become this database. It’s made up of the places I have visited since moving to Manchester in 2017, and those I am yet to pop to. Those I have been to should have star ratings and some additional notes/Instagram links.

I've tried to organise these places by location and what they offer to make it easier to find something in a particular area. I.e. you can filter to find somewhere for coffee within the location Northern Quarter and see only results tagged as such.

✍️ Note

If you spot places without a date but with a rating, it's probably because I couldn't quite remember when I went. And if there's no rating, well, that just means I haven't had a chance to check them out yet.

☝ This is not just a list

If you scroll to the right, you'll find more data fields.
