i was tired and hungry and decided to go to Manchester Press cafe. it looked cool and had a waiting list scrawled in chalk on the brickwork outside.
not that many people at 9.10am. but it got packed 15 minutes later.
my raisin bagel with cream cheese and apricot jam. nice comfortable place to read the art newspaper.
my coffee with cute latte art.
lady updating the board.
apparently this place is hell popular. you should order their bagels - they treat them as burger buns and the fillings were overflowing... generous stacks of smoked salmon, avocado... :9
trams are cool yo.
these are public toilets in front of the GPO. love the 1880s architecture and fixtures all over the city.
Bourke street mall decoration
that's the GPO.
Gingerbread baby window displays at Myers department store. about 7 windows of animated and spoken story telling about a gingerbread baby's adventures... he almost got eaten by mice and cats.
Salvation Army bands playing xmas tunes
these lights don't light up at night.
