Green Vegans – Welcome Event - What's On - Greater Manchester's CityLife Sneak Preview: Inside new French restaurant Cote Brasserie Pictures and sneak preview inside the city's latest new £1mn restaurant, Cote Brasserie on St Mary's Street 20 free attractions in London Who cares if London's hotels and restaurants tend to be on the expensive side? No city in the world has more free stuff to do. In addition to world-class museums without a ticket admission, you get the parks, canal walks, super markets (Portobello Road Market at Notting Hill Gate, Camden Market at Chalk Farm Rd, wonderful Columbia Road Flower Market at Gosset St in East London etc) and maybe some royal-spotting, and you can fill a life.

The Manchizzle: Introducing: The Real Story Hooray! I'm delighted to be able to share the details about Openstories' new project, The Real Story. So here's the deal: The Real Story is a celebration of creative nonfiction. Not that there’s anything wrong with fiction. We’re kicking things off this summer with a writing competition. The best submissions will be published alongside specially commissioned photographic portraits of the writers on a new website to be launched in October at the Manchester Literature Festival 2011, and some of the winning writers will be asked to read their pieces live during the festival. To enter, email your submission as a double-spaced Word document to info@openstories.org with “Real Story submission” in the subject line. If you’d like to learn more about using your own experiences as the basis for nonfiction writing, we’re holding a primer workshop, Life Writing Bootcamp, at Manchester City Library on Saturday July 30 from 11am to 4pm, with writer and Rainy City Stories editor Kate Feld.
