Hi All

Heading up Newcastle this weekend to do some shopping...

Planning on spending the Sunday shopping at the Metro Center but after some tips on what to do on the Saturday?

Also, any reccomendations on places to eat out? Fancy Italian or Thai.

Thanks,
Steve

**** the shopping, get yourself into town for 10am get tanked up and watch some rippers before going to the match, then continue to get completely and utterly meatracked untill the early hours.
 
Eldon Square, pop in the sage, wander through chinatown/leazes park. Blackfriars for luncheon too! Guarantee it will be ******* down though!
 
If you're in the Metro Centre on Sunday, find me - Sunday is a 'shop day' for me so I'll be handing out sweets and schmoozing while my tame Norwegian girl does all the donkey work...

...Honest.

dont bother with the metro, eldon square is better.

Just get tanked up like everyone says, its what the north is here for.
 
There's an Italian in Jesmond called 'Francesca's' which is really nice, few decent bars in Jesmond too.

The only Thai place I know in Newcastle.....I haven't been to :)

Italian, loads of decent places to go. For good quality, decent prices, try Panis (always packed, simple settings, good food and big portions), but if you're looking for a little more expensive, try Paradiso (superb food, but not the nicest inside - and its more mediterranean than Italian) or Gusto on the Quayside (pricey, but modern - not strictly Italian, but...).

If I had a choice, I'd go to Paradiso - it may not look great, but the food has been amazing every time I've been there. And if you want a drink, you've got a poncy cocktail bar underneath it (Popolos), a real man's bar across the alley (The Market Lane - also known as the Monkey Bar) and a host of other places within a hundred yards

avoid the Bigg Market like the plague


much better and classier bars all over the city centre (crown posada for a bit of history, the Bridge for decent beer and views of the tyne bridge and the bacchus for decent beer and a light atmosphere..if you want to pay a fiver for bottle of weak beer and see some shiny lights and people with day glo tans and to much fake gold just go to The Gate) and for food I like El Torero for a bit of tapas...not far from the quayside..but there is bars to suit all tastes from the sophisticated to the crass
