Me and the better half are off to that there Manchester for a weekend in a couple of weeks. What fun things can we do there that we can't do anywhere else?(!)
We'll obviously spend a bit of time in the city centre, afternoon tea at Harvey Nicks has been booked for us by a friend, and we are getting the train down, so easily accessible from city centre/public transport is a must...
GO!
Dunno about things you can't do anywhere else - http://www.mosi.org.uk maybe?
Depending on your tolerance of hipsters.... northern quarter has lots of funky little bars/cafes/restaurants and some nice arty shops and galleries.

This. I heartily recommend 'luck lust liquor and burn' if to need to eat. El nomz!
Comedy club.
Imax cinema.
Dance club? till the wee small hours.
A gig at one of the academy venues or the apollo.
Halle Orchestra.
Greggs with Binners?
A drink at cloud 23 bar in the hilton, the bar is nothing special apart from the views over Manchester from the 23 rd floor that are fantastic on a clear day.
A few miles outside city centre the war museum is great and very interesting and thought provoking.
Museum & Whitworth Art Gallery
Katsouris Greek deli on Deansgate
Aflecks palace
Proper curry in rusholme
Central Art Gallery-Whitworths closed, Arndale market for a beer then Northern Quarter for more beer at the Blue Pig, etc.
Then China Town for the hidden Thai restaurant that I recommended on here a few weeks ago.
This gives you a circle.

MOSI, the art gallery, tour of the canals if youre intrested in industrial heritage, visit to victoria station for the same, trip out to the velodrome,day ticket for the trams, and a free bus round the city centre.
Nearly all free.
Mosi, Museum of science and industry.
Get on a train to London ? 😉
There's a great swingers club, in swinton about 5 miles out of town if you fancy something a bit different 🙂
Do you not fancy Greggs with me then? We could have gone and eaten our Steak Bakes, with a can of Stella in Piccadilly Gardens
You've just missed the Grayson Perry Tapestries exhibition at the City. Which is worth seeing. Finishes today 🙁
But there's the [url= http://www.royalexchange.co.uk/event.aspx?id=799 ]Kevin Cummins exhibition[/url] just started this week at the Royal Exchange. Not seen it myself yet, but it looks good!
If you've got a tram ticket, the Imperial War Museum is definitely worth a trip out too, as well.
Other than that - all the above. The view from Cloud 23 in the Hilton is fantastic. And then if you're in the northern quarter, then call in at [url= http://www.apothecabar.co.uk ]Apotheca for cocktails[/url]

+lots.
I loves the northern quarter I does...
Hire some bikes and go for a blast around [url= http://www.nationalcyclingcentre.com/mtb/the-mountain-bike-trails/ride-the-mtb-trails/ ]here[/url], then [url= http://www.the-french.co.uk/ ]Here[/url] for some proper evening scran.
Thanks for all the suggestions... Northern quarter sounds worth a visit, I'll pack my best NHS specs.
Cloud 23 had been recommended by a mate so good to see it seconded.
MOSI sounds right up my street... Less so for Mrs Dr_Death (and is her birthday).
Thanks again, and if anyone else has any other suggestions, feel free to pitch in.

Blow up the Trafford centre? Probably due a makeover by now.
