The Northern Quarter is a trendy neighborhood, with vibrant street art, bohemian bars and independent record shops. It’s home to buzzy restaurants and some of the city’s liveliest music venues, which host up-and-coming indie bands and established acts. Cultural attractions include the artists’ studios at Manchester Craft and Design Centre, and rotating exhibits at the Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art.

"With its many independent shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants, the Northern Quarter has inevitably been saddled with the label “trendy.” This neighborhood is a vibrant hub where you can find uniquely curated selections of art supplies, homewares, and crafts at Fred Aldous, Oklahoma, and the Craft and Design Centre, respectively. Around Stevenson Square, there’s a rotating cast of beautifully rendered murals of Bowie, bees, and birds. If you need sustenance then head for Federal or Home Sweet Home where you can brunch until you just can’t take any more avocado toast and single-origin AeroPress coffee." - MATADOR_NETWORK
