The National Videogame Arcade is the home to many an arcade machine and retro game system classic. It is a great place to hang out for kids of all ages and many people I talked to hadn’t been in because they think that you have to get a ticket to go in. Well you do need one for the…

Bonzai in Nottingham – late night noodles, snacks, and some soup
Bonzai in Nottingham is a Japanese Restaurant located at 11-13 Carlton Street that seems to specialise in sushi and noodles. I am not so experienced in the old Sushi but I do love a good bowl of noodles, so when we found ourselves wandering around in need of food late one midweek evening, after several pints of…
“All Things Sweet” serving Japanese Street Food at the Oriental Mart in Hockley
A week or so ago as I was flicking through a copy of the Nottingham Post I saw an article by Lynette Pinchess about a new pop-up street food café in the Oriental Mart on Heathcote Street. This sounded awesome, I have been shopping at the oriental Mart for ages so this means I can get…

Edins Natural Kitchen is in the old William Taylor Jewellery shop at 15 Carlton Street in Hockely. The Jewellers had been in the city since 1854 and closed for the last time in December 2012. As you pass by you may be forgiven for thinking that they are still there as their name is still prominent…
Hartley’s Coffee and Sandwich Shop in Hockley

Walking down the hill into Hockley I came across Hartley’s Coffee & Sandwich Bar just slightly down the slope on the corner at 21 Carlton Street. It looked OK…
