York

The National Railway Museum is incredible.

I also like the Yorkshire Museum. But if you don't want to pay the price of entry the grounds are nice for a very brief wander if you happen to walk past.
Did the railway museum a few years ago.Fucking amazing place. Might have another look in:oldthumbsup:
 
Went up there last month for the marathon and sadly didn’t get a chance to look round much, but we enjoyed a couple of very unusual beers at a pub called Pivni, then the most fantastic chippy tea at Drake’s :cool:

Think ive been in Pivni before, definately on the list along with a few good places to eat, Barbakan and Rustique.Also a spanish place with amazing tapas, cant remember the name.
 
If you go to evensong in York Minster the organ sounds exactly like the John Paul Jones (not the same tune obvs) opening for Led Zeppelin's "Your Time Is Gonna Come'.
York Minster is fascinating, you don't have to be religious.

It has just been rebuilt so maybe it doesn’t sound like that any more.

Was the tapas place Ambiente? I've been a couple of times and it's always really good. I went into the Christmas market on Sunday and it was packed but there was a brilliant brass band playing the Spice Girls. If you fancy pie and peas and a good pint don't forget the Trembling Madness.

Yeah, i think it was. Gonna have a look at it now :oldthumbsup:
 
I discover - from watching Horrible Histories, obvs - that Dick Turpin was hanged, and buried in York.

St George's, Fishergate.
 
Another vote for Pivni and walking the walls. Probably advisable to do the walk first through :D

If you’re going by train then the York Tap at the station is decent too.

The Christmas market should be on now which might be worth a look, if only for the Winterval fail :thumbs:

I second the York Tap.

I was in York a week and a half ago (it's my home town). Didn't really rate the Christmas market. OK if you want to buy chutney or ceramics as gifts. Sadly it is nice enough, too nice to be in the running for Winterval fail!

There was a very funny woman on the train up telling her friend how York Christmas Market had been voted one of the best in Europe - she was like 'WTAF'?
 
Hi, heading to York tomorrow. Won't be there long. Any good taprooms and micropubs?

Also are places recommended above still around?
 
House of Trembling Madness has been decent on my last couple visits to York. There's the original bar above the shop on Stonegate or a bigger place on Lendal near the river.

Head into the city centre and you can't really go wrong
 
Trembling Madness on Lendel for a good selection of beer.

Pivni hasn't had much on lately but The Market Cat who belong to the same group always tend to have a good selection. Good pizza too. Go upstairs for a view over the market.

My husband like the beer in Brew York but I don't think it's a particularly nice place to sit.
 
So far we've been to the York Tap, pivni, Trembling Madness (the one above the shop), Brew York and the Rook and Gaskell. Have liked all of them, although the outside seating at Pivni was a bit cramped.
