"Levenshulme is probably the one area that still mixes pockets of British, Irish, and Asian populations in close proximity in a way where everyone seems to get along just fine. It’s certainly not the shiny streets and brunching culture of Ancoats just yet, but it has a big heart that’s exemplified by the volunteer community groups who run everything from litter picks to garden plantings. Here too there are rows of grand old houses on Central and Park avenues, but the seeds of new growth are well-sprouted, too.Go to Nordie on Stockport Road for craft beers and street food snacks, or head to The Talleyrand just a few doors down for art exhibitions, poetry readings, and specialist ales. Adjacent to The Talleyrand is Trove bakery and cafe, where you’ll find bread, cakes, and gourmet coffee worth waiting in line for. If you’re free on the weekend, make sure to pay a visit to the Levenshulme Market for arts and crafts, vintage clothing, and food and drink. The market is mainly held on Saturdays throughout the year, although the occasional Friday night events are also tremendously popular." - MATADOR_NETWORK
