Shopping at Grotto

Recently I designed some wrapping paper for one69A screen printers in Manchester, it's now on sale in pop-up shop Grotto - based in the Northern Quarter. So this weekend I had a walk over there to see what all the fuss was about, and I wasn't disappointed.

Grotto is stocked to the rafters with all manner of bespoke printed goods, with limited edition prints available from as little as a fiver and bespoke wrapping paper for just 50p a sheet - you'd be mad not to check it out.

On behalf of myself & Manchester's Finest I'd like to say a big thank you to the guys at one69A and everyone associated with the project, firstly for bringing my wrapping paper to life, and secondly for sticking such a quality shop just a few steps away from The Castle, so convenient for a Saturday afternoons shopping and drinking.

Manchesters Finest Visits Rosso

Manchesters Finest is proud to have Rosso Restaurant as our first ever write up. The Italian Restaurant, based at the top of Manchester's prestigious King Street, has recently been voted Restaurant of the Year by Lancashire Life, and it's easy to see why. 4 courses down and numerous glasses of wine, recommended by the waiter and complimenting the meal perfectly, sipping an espresso and listening to the live music, courtesy of Cole Page, I can say without a hint of doubt that it was a brilliant Wednesday night.

Live music, 4 courses, wine & coffee for 2 people under £100.
