I brought my friend and my family here when they came to visit over Christmas. It&#8217;s near&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/about\/campus\/landmarks\/kings-manor\/\">King&#8217;s Manor<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorkartgallery.org.uk\/\">York Art Gallery<\/a>. You can walk on the pathways and admire the greenery, flowers and occasional squirrels that run about. It&#8217;s a great place for a picnic or leisurely&nbsp;stroll. If you exit the gardens near the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exploreyork.org.uk\/york-explore\/\">York Explore Library<\/a>, you can enjoy some freshly-baked scones and cakes at <a href=\"https:\/\/brewandbrownie.uk\/shop\">Brew and Brownie<\/a>, which is across the street.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Little Apple Bookshop<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I visited this shop for the first time whilst on a bookshop crawl with the <a href=\"https:\/\/yusu.org\/activities\/view\/sober-society\">Sober Society<\/a>. It&#8217;s definitely one of York&#8217;s hidden gems. If you&#8217;re having trouble looking for birthday gifts, or if you just want to buy something for yourself or someone special, this shop is worth having a look at. While it&#8217;s mainly a bookshop, they also have a selection of plushies (from Moomins to the Gruffalo), tote bags, greeting cards and other novelty items like Shakespearean insult badges. I bought a Moomin cookbook and a small plush toy of Little My from the Moomin franchise when I was there last.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wheldrakes and Caf\u00e9 Feva <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/100521582_588088281830674_6265533084934864896_n99-e1590611917586.jpg?resize=358%2C434\" alt=\"\" width=\"358\" height=\"434\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These two are cafes that serve incredible food! <a href=\"https:\/\/wheldrakes.business.site\/\">Wheldrakes<\/a> has a lovely, hearty breakfast menu (I love their Eggs Benedict). <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xn--caffeva-dya.com\/\">Caf\u00e9 Feva<\/a> has a quaint atmosphere and is located above an antique shop. They&#8217;re excellent places to take your friends or family to if you don&#8217;t want to go to one of the bigger restaurants in the city.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Donut Kitchen<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is a food truck which is based mainly in the city centre on Silver Street. They&#8217;re also based in Parliament Street during York&#8217;s Christmas Market and Food Festivals. They serve piping hot doughnuts coated with cinnamon sugar and they&#8217;re absolutely divine! It&#8217;s the place to visit if you want a warm sweet treat during a chilly day.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Travelling Man <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/100583622_360764511550807_4478349274119143424_n.jpg?resize=449%2C403\" alt=\"100583622_360764511550807_4478349274119143424_n.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-7056\" width=\"449\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/100583622_360764511550807_4478349274119143424_n.jpg?w=946&amp;ssl=1 946w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/100583622_360764511550807_4478349274119143424_n.jpg?resize=300%2C270&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/100583622_360764511550807_4478349274119143424_n.jpg?resize=768%2C690&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is a bookshop located on Goodramgate. It sells various geek merchandise, from board games and graphic novels to action figures. There&#8217;s an amazing selection of manga at the back of the store with a wide range of titles. Upstairs there&#8217;s even a relaxing board games area where you can play games with your friends!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Portal Bookshop&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is York&#8217;s very own LGBT+ bookshop, and it&#8217;s located near the Shambles Market. It has a diverse range of books, from novels to comic books (both new and secondhand) with LGBT+ characters and by LGBT+ authors (like Noelle Stevenson and even classic authors like Oscar Wilde). They even have a selection of adorable crocheted items in the colours of the pride flags! The shop owner is lovely and the shop has a welcoming atmosphere.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This list is non-exhaustive of course, as York is brimming with a plethora of places to visit and corners to explore.
