3 questions on aberdeen
1.any good places to buy cds,videos ex
2.any good cheap places to eat
3.any parts of aberdeen to avoid
Ha! You should have been on here a couple of days ago, the same question was asked- except the bit about CD's...
Anyway, I've been living here a few months now and all I kow is... (besides what's on my pages so far)...
CD's Fopp on Correction Wynd (? Turn right at Marks & Spencers) is good as is errr, can't remember the name but it's the only place on Belmont Street with music. Of course there's HMV & Virgin (both on Union St).
Lots of good places to eat- Italian all over the place, Lebanese- 3x Nargile branches, Indian- Kama Sutra, Bridge St., I'm told all the places on Dee Place/terrace (?) are good- Royal Thai especially. But cheap... That's a different matter, a few good take aways- Belmont Fish Bar on Belmont St for example. Some pubs do decent food too- Blackfriars for example. Garado's (or something like that) on George Street are pretty good and do an eclectic menu. And cheap. Near them is Meditteraneo for Italian.
Avoid... depends what you want- for living, at night, to avoid yuppies/students/oil workers. Torry & Tillydrone have bad reps for living in, but I've walked about'em no problem. The docks are well stocked with dodgy ladies and their trade, some heavy drinkerage joints also mean some messy sailors/locals. Belmont Street is stuffed with students most nights.
Anything else, just ask. Hope I've helped. Jem
1. Depending on what kind of musics you are looking for, the common chart toppers can be found from HMV, VirginStores, etc. If you are hunting for the not so common ones, try Bruce Millers which is towards the west end of Union St.
2. Lots of Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, take-away places and restaurants in Crown's Street/Terrace. But I don't think you fancy that, you can find it in Lancaster anyway. Well... try the only Greek restaurant in town, Christos Greek Tavern. Good food and not too pricey, 15 quids for a proper dinner. Something different. It is located at John Street, right across Aberdeen College.
3. Aberdeen is in general very safe. However, the "grey" sites are the harbour area (Miller St, Saint.Clement St, etc, you would probably wont even get there since it is so secluded and you will see fleshy chicks waiting for pickup by the streets, nothing dangerous, can be fun to watch though), Torry (which I dont think you have anything to do there in the nite anyway), and some say George St during the night can be rowdy. However, even for an Asian like me living here, I don't find any of the mentioned above threatening or of concern at all.
Saunter along the golden sanded beach as the sun rises. It can be cold, but the blinding clarity of light ensures your still alive. A proud city breeds proud people. Aberdonians are just that, opinionated, self assured and provincial. All the qualities of distinction that set it apart from the rest of Scottish cities.
If you want to get a glimpse of rugged, remote scenery away from the West Coast, head for Strathdon, where the most famous venue is the Strathdon Highland Games (which several British celebs regularly attend)!
Drive out of the town of Strathdon & head for Corgarff & Kildrummy Castles. Both remote and couldn't be more different.
Lots of heather, cold wind even in August & complete silence for miles!!
The Soul is my first coolest club I `ve ever been to which was actually once a CHURCH!!! The opulent interiors and the attention to detail from the lighting to how the menus are created meant that there is no other bar experience quite like Soul.
This is a Must Seen Place to be seen at !
Aberdeen is a University town so who knows where your server will come from, but you will always receive perfect attention here. The servers are friendly and attentive, explaining menus and choices, they do a good job.
Modern and spacious, the restaurant is designed around a typical New York Dinner, there are a lot of old pictures of Italians in New York and it has a definate 1940's atmosphere I had an Italian pasta dish & American dessert combining both counties = yummy
The long main street in Aberdeen from the docks to Holborn is the heart of Aberdeen. All the main shops can/could be found there as well as some more local ones.
Towards the centre is a bridge crossing the railway line, and nearby the entrance to St Nicholas Church graveyard.
Many the time I have walked up and down this street, having lived at the Holburn end for 3 years.
