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.

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.

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.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

I once had a really good one night stand in York - I remember the walk of shame past the tourists. Probably TMI. 
Anyway, I've always liked the city so hope you have a good trip there.

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.

What would Badgers do?
Another vote for Pivni and walking the walls. Probably advisable to do the walk first through 
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

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'?

Been a while, but Our Venues | Brew York Craft Beer for a bigger taproom, whilst Shambles Tavern for a more intimate little pub. York Tap too as mentioned at the railway station. You don't have to walk too far in York until you find a pub or tap 
Don't know any micropubs in York itself - usually venture to the Three B's Micropub-Bridlington Craft real ales and ciders in Brid!

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.

I've never lived full time in York (despite trying!) but I did spend some months staying and working nearby Monday-Friday for work when I was working for Defra, and that was one of the places I used to visit for a quiet pint with whatever book I happened to be reading at the time
Probably ate there too, I vaguely recall having pies there I think?It was a loooong time ago and a bit hazy
