A date is a way to explore a person — a guide is a way to explore a place. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ulfpape">Ulf Pape,</a> culture editor at GQ magazine, matches the two in Hamburg. Play your dating cards as safe as you like: sightseeing or seeing each other naked in a spa? Dining or getting more drinks than food? Boat rowing — or a different kind of moves in a club? There is room to explore everything: in the end of a date, a room in a hotel is the best way to explore anything and anyone. The outcome is certain. Here is your Hamburg date guide.&nbsp;&nbsp;Here are some locations in Hamburg that perfectly work for a first date of which you don’t know where it will lead to next. I'm convinced that dating is something that should be full of creativity, lust, and awareness for what you want and don't want. Show who you are with the choice of the location for your date. Don't go to regular places.

Here is a lists of the best fun date ideas in Manchester to go with your softboy or lovergirl in summer. As your sweet match walks out the front door and into the fresh air, they may initially be shocked at the breeze and the harsh sunlight, having spent the last two-ish years lying on the sofa playing guitar in a shrimp-like position. You may remind your date that the times of “lockdown coffee walks” and netflix-and-chill nights with wine are gone. You can go on a romantic date to a restaurant now. Life is good. Or “a little bit better”.&nbsp;Your date, your boyfriend, your girlfriend or your special someone protests at being outside? Simply remind them how important it is to get your daily Vitamin D from the sunshine. And then lead them gently towards the nearest romantic Manchester restaurant — or a gentrified-but-not-too-gentrified pub. Never forget this: wherever you are in Manchester, you’re never further than a five-minute walk away from one of these.

<figure class="image"><img src="https://cityguides-production-cdn.soulplatform.com/manchester_Terrace_Oldham_Street_8d3eccccf5.png"></figure><h4>Terrace @ Oldham Street</h4>IMO, one of the best things to come out of lockdown was the pedestri-fication of Thomas Street and Edge Street in the Northern Quarter. In 2021, these streets were filled with tables and outdoor seating, as their many bars responded to the government-imposed “You Must Sit Outside” rule. The tables have stuck around ever since, and as Manchester pint-drinkers, we are all communally very grateful. I would recommend any of the bars or pubs on these streets. Terrace, however, is my absolute favourite, because of its rooftop garden — at the end of the day, if I’m being really honest with myself, I am nothing more than a slag for a rooftop garden. There are fairy lights; there’s Red Stripe; there is a wide variety of leaves and greenery — at Terrace, the entire human / softboi heirarchy of needs is catered to.

<figure class="image"><img src="https://cityguides-production-cdn.soulplatform.com/manchester_The_Big_Tables_by_the_Marina_in_Ancoats_2f51de693e.png"></figure><h4>The Big Tables by the Marina in Ancoats</h4>A more abstract date idea, here, for those of you who prefer not to be pinned down by things like 'actual venues': if you walk down through Ancoats, through the square and over the canal, you will find the New Islington Marina. Just beside the marina there are some massive wooden tables. On your date, you and your softboi can sit at these tables, and watch the ducks and the swans swim past (you will also have to look at the v. overpriced and slightly ugly 'Urban Splash’ new-build development across the water, which is a bit of a downer, but try to just focus on the ducks). Choose your refreshments — if you’re feeling boujee, go to Trove or Pollen for a baked good; if you’re feeling less boujee, go to the Co-Op on St. Peter’s square and buy a four-pack of croissants — and enjoy soaking up the erotic vibe of one of central Manchester’s largest bodies of water. Bon Appetít.

<figure class="image"><img src="https://cityguides-production-cdn.soulplatform.com/manchester_Fuse_Withington_ff96aa4125.png"></figure><h4>Fuse, Withington</h4>This café is where I tried a smoothie that changed my life forever, and the same will be true for you and your softboi. Each drink served by Fuse is nectar sent to earth directly from the gods. I recommend the Caribbean Iced Coffee, which contains an espresso shot, some ginger biscuits, frozen yoghurt and a few other bits (just trust me) — whichever smoothie you choose, though, make sure you take advantage of the many parks in the surrounding area and enjoy your drink whilst sat on a park bench.

<figure class="image"><img src="https://cityguides-production-cdn.soulplatform.com/manchester_North_Tea_Power_6ae1bd77e8.png"></figure><h4>North Tea Power</h4>The best place to get a coffee in the Northern Quarter. Coffee dates are a fairly risky game, in my opinion — but if you must play the game, play it here.

<figure class="image"><img src="https://cityguides-production-cdn.soulplatform.com/manchester_Chapeltown_Picture_House_Power_d38e11392a.png"></figure><h4>Chapeltown Picture House</h4>This one is by no means summer-exclusive, but I had to include it on the list, because I’m not joking: this venue is an absolute gem. The cinema itself focuses on showing cult classics at a very, very affordable price, and it’s attached to the GRUB bar, which is worth a visit in and of itself. The beer garden here is the place of dreams: not only do they have fun seats that you can basically lie down in, but there are also different food vendors there most days, which means the whole place smells incredible. If you’ve not been, brave the short uphill walk and do a film-and-food night with your date (they’ve got a Nicolas Cage special coming up in May, which any softboi is guaranteed to love) — I promise you it’s worth it.

<figure class="image"><img src="https://cityguides-production-cdn.soulplatform.com/manchester_Salford_Quays_1_8b48d2d2af.png"></figure><h4>Salford Quays</h4>The softboi, statistically, is over 250% more likely than any other human-genre to either a) have a tattoo of a wave somewhere on their body, or b) have uttered the words “I guess I just feel more at home in the water than on land” at some point in time. That’s right: by their very nature, softbois are water babies, and this is where the vast beauty of Salford Quays really comes into its own. Take your softboi here — for a drink (The Alchemist’s outdoor area is nice), for the Van Gogh exhibition, or just to sit for a while with your legs dangling off the waterfront — and listen to your date exhale with the relieved breath of someone who feels truly at home. (P.S. It’s me. I’m the water-baby softboi.)

<figure class="image"><img src="https://cityguides-production-cdn.soulplatform.com/manchester_Fletcher_Moss_Botanical_Gardens_9bbc0c9b10.png"></figure><h4>Fletcher Moss Botanical Gardens</h4>This has everything you need for a sunny day (fair warning: it’s in Didsbury, so it also has a lot of upper-middle-class yummy mummies and their equally yummy small children. Try to go on a weekday if you’d like to avoid this). It has large expanses of grass and greenery which, if you live surrounded by lots of concrete like I do, is a welcome relief. It has a river nearby, which is also great (see the above point re: softbois / large bodies of water). It’s also home to the titular botanical gardens — and, now, I am making a very sweeping assumption here, but hear me out — if you are the type of person who is taking a softboi on a date, you are going to fucking lose your shit at these botanical gardens. I’m not being dramatic: fairies live here, in a big way. The “really-into-flowers-ex-cottagecore-astrology-hoe gf/bf” is drawn to the softboi like a moth to a flame — and here, you can take your softboi by the hand and lead them through the flowers like you are in an actual fairytale. 10/10.

<figure class="image"><img src="https://cityguides-production-cdn.soulplatform.com/manchester_Peel_Park_160dab2c52.png"></figure><h4>Peel Park</h4>By far the nicest park in Manchester that doesn’t demand a 55-minute bus journey from the centre. This is only a short tram ride away, and you can also use the adrenaline rush that comes from trying to avoid the ticket inspectors to make your date subconsciously fall in love with you, which is fun.

<figure class="image"><img src="https://cityguides-production-cdn.soulplatform.com/manchester_ASDA_Longsigh_cdf4200276.png"></figure><h4>ASDA Longsight</h4>This one may be a controversial addition to the list. I realise that; I accept it. I love a supermarket date. I also love this supermarket the best; it holds a very special place in my heart. I’m not going to elaborate too much more, because I can already feel you laughing at me through the screen — but I will say this: take your softboi on a date here, and then sit back and watch as your relationship blossoms like an Extra Special Daffodil Bouquet. You’re welcome.Photos: 1 – <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Terrace-NQ-831225890260097/">Terrace</a>, 2 – <a href="https://www.manchestersfinest.com/articles/new-islington-the-best-place-to-live-in-the-city-centre/">Manchester's Finest</a>, 3 – <a href="https://www.facebook.com/fusewithington/">Fuse</a>, 4 – North Tea Power, 5 – <a href="https://m.facebook.com/GRUBMCR/posts/an-update-from-our-cinema-chapeltown-picture-house-you-lot-are-ready-for-dog-fri/2411448615588026/">GRUB</a>, 6 – <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/donaldjudge/49942747871/in/photolist-2j6gCXR-2j6gzUw-2j6dT1i-2j6i9bK-2j6dSeU-ms7n2r-2j6gAF1-2j6gxYx-2j6gvRr-2j6e2DW-2j6gBhS-2j6dWUL-2j6gy2D-2j6gCV6-2j6i4fT-2j6gzLW-2j6i4qn-2j6dSrn-2j6e1gA-2j6dU64-GCQ6gv-2j6i4C1-2j6dYs5-2j6dXEd-2j6gAm3-2j6gAeQ-2j6i78X-2j6dRz2-2j6dZUD-2j6i6NJ-2j6gzwN-2j6i5u6-2j6dVnx-2j6dVbA-2j6i35S-2j6gvwd-2j6i2UG-2j6i3jV-2j6gwpF-2j6gC91-dD4rwb-2j6i9ng-2j6dXZg-2j6gAca-2j6gwNM-2j6gwC6-2j6i1A4-2j6i1st-4r5hEp-2j6i3by">Donald Judge</a>, 7 – <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/kh1234567890/">kh1234567890</a>, 9 – <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisappen/">Chris Wright</a>.

Having lived in Manchester for ten years means two things. Firstly, I am incredibly old and secondly, I have a solid understanding of the best places to go in Manny. From my regular haunts to places to hit up when you want something different, the following list is an insider guide on the best restaurants, cafes, bars, cafe bars, casual dining and places to take pics in that you’ll find in the city.

<figure class="image"><img src="https://cityguides-production-cdn.soulplatform.com/manchester_Bunny_Jackson_s_0e08861354.png"></figure><h4>Bunny Jackson's</h4>A bar that does 10p chicken wings. Yes, 10p (well, 25p if you want a non plain one) and they're actually banging. This rock n roll dive style bar also serves cauli wings if you're veggie, super spicy wings if you're hard and other meal options if you're just not that into chicks. Plus their cocktail menu is killer and everyone who works there is well fit. Go here if you want casual vibes when dating.

<figure class="image"><img src="https://cityguides-production-cdn.soulplatform.com/manchester_CBRB_68b37b46bf.png"></figure><h4>CBRB</h4>My number one go to food spot in Manchester has to be Cocktail Beer Ramen + Bun, or CBRB for short. A tiny late night ramen bar on Oldham street —&nbsp;also conveniently next to the excellent Gullivers boozer and other bars — CBRB is perfect for before drinks, after drinks, or being the main event itself. Lush Tonkotsu ramen with handmade noodles, the softest bao buns (get the ox cheek!) and juicy Japanese fried chicken (karaage) are my particular picks for anyone choosing to decide what to get. Their homemade Strawberry Americano sharer cocktail is bloody lovely too if you want to share drinks with whoever you’re taking, if not, they have a class array of craft beers, wines and homemade mocktails. They serve food until midnight every day so perfect if you need a post-drinks late night snack that isn’t cheesy chips.

<figure class="image"><img src="https://cityguides-production-cdn.soulplatform.com/manchester_Koffee_Pot_fd80a2e9bc.png"></figure><h4>Koffee Pot</h4>The ideal place if you’ve made it to the morning after the night before. Koffee Pot covers pretty much every single breakfast you could imagine. From an Irish, Scottish or English fry-up to a plate of fluffy pancakes to a bangin’ vegan MancMuffin (get it). You can soak up last night's fun over a dirt cheap classic filter coffee, a Bloody Mary or a Vimto slushie. This isn’t the kind of breakfast you’re photographing for the grid, but rather one to laugh with mates over at all your silly antics from the night before.

<figure class="image"><img src="https://cityguides-production-cdn.soulplatform.com/manchester_One_Plust_2_ece9545117.png"></figure><h4>One Plus</h4>If you fancy some interactive (ooh) eating One Plus Hotpot is the perfect spot. On the ground floor of this Chinese BBQ establishment is a steamy, busy hotpot restaurant. You pick your broth, make a delicious dipping sauce (lots of sesame and soy, thank you), grab some veggies, noodles and prawns off the conveyor belt and cook everything yourself in your own individual boiling soup pot. It might sound a little intimidating if you’ve never been but it’s so much fun and super straightforward. The best meals are always those that include an activity and will help you on a date if you aren’t the chattiest. If you don’t fancy the hot pot option, One Plus also houses a standard restaurant and a bbq floor, with just as incredibly fresh and delicious food.

<figure class="image"><img src="https://cityguides-production-cdn.soulplatform.com/manchester_Flawd_3ea6b29eb9.png"></figure><h4>Flawd</h4>If you wanna show off a little on a date and act like you’re a fancy little madam then head to the gorgeous Ancoats Marina and you’ll find Flawd. Right on the water, this spot is perfect for people watching, dog watching and seeing what the geese and ducks that live in the canal are up to. If it’s sunny, sitting outside feels exactly like you’re on your holidays. Flawed serves natural wine by the glass (and bottle if you wanna splash out), craft beers from Manchester’s finest breweries and incredible small plates. From charcuterie and cheese boards to whipped Nduja on toast, you automatically feel cultured and suave even just eating their bread. They work with an organic farm in Cheshire to ensure everything is super fresh and seasonal and the menu changes almost daily to reflect that. The staff are so lovely too and will help you out if you know absolutely nothing about natural wine. (I don’t, but I recommend trying whichever orange wine that they have on the go.)

<figure class="image"><img src="https://cityguides-production-cdn.soulplatform.com/manchester_Ramona_1_6806200816.png"></figure><h4>Ramona</h4>Ramona is pure party vibes, which is perfect for a pre game meal before a night out, being the whole night out on its own, or impressing your more outgoing mates/dates. The food offerings may seem small — made up of Detroit style pizza or tater tots — but the quality is absolutely insane. The hot honey tater tots are made of dreams and there are vegan and veggie options for both tots and pizza slices if you swing that way. If you’re a drinker, the cocktail menu is lush, and make sure you get a shot of tequila — every one comes with an accompanying Verdita chaser (a zesty green shot of coriander, mint, jalapeno and pineapple juice) which is supposed to cure hangovers (allegedly). Bring your date here if you want to have a lively time.

<figure class="image"><img src="https://cityguides-production-cdn.soulplatform.com/manchester_Bundobust_1_11d98a5904.png"></figure><h4>Bundobust</h4>If you’re a bit unorganised when organising dates, Bundobust is the perfect spot for walking in and grabbing a table. Their South Indian veggie street food is packed full of flavour, no two dishes taste the same and in the words of my dad —&nbsp; “you don’t even miss the meat!” From the barbequed Paneer Tikka with homemade chutneys, to the layered samosa pastry based Bundo Chaat, to crunchy, salty okra fries there’s something for&nbsp; everyone. It’s all sharing tapas style and the service is quick, so ideal for something casual and delish that isn’t a Maccies. Plus the decor looks straight out of a Wes Anderson film, which awards Bundo extra vibe points.

<figure class="image"><img src="https://cityguides-production-cdn.soulplatform.com/manchester_Mackie_Mayor_1_7d8e7edc93.png"></figure><h4>Mackie Mayor</h4>This is my go to recommendation to anyone visiting Manchester/anyone who’s a fussy cow — Mackie Mayor is a converted market hall that now runs as an independent food court, with multiple options for cuisine and drinks that can be ordered to any table. You don’t have to commit to just one stand either — order a starter from one, a main from another, get frozen margaritas from Pico’s Tacos and they’ll all be brought to your table when ready. Mackie Mayor doesn’t give up quality for quantity either, it has the best pad thai in Manny, incredible crushed jacket potatoes and endless options no matter what your mood. Word to the wise though — it gets busy and doesn’t take bookings, so try and get there early.Photos: 1 – <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bunnyjacksons/photos/5554468107900173">Bunny Jacksons</a>, 2 – <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cocktailbeerramenbun/photos">CBRB</a>, 3 – <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thekoffeepot">Kofee Pot</a>, 4 – One Plus, 5 – <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CXBrdO6lviu/">js__visuals</a>, 6 – <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Ramona-Manchester-103578268230788/">Ramona</a>, 7 – <a href="https://gourmetgorro.blogspot.com/2019/08/bundobust-manchester-indian-street-food.html">gourmetgorro</a> , 8 – <a href="https://www.haarkon.co.uk">Haarkon</a>.
