THE APPEAL OF DAMON RUNYON, the New York storyteller, newspaperman and sportswriter came from his mastery, but also invention, of 1920s American slang – a mixture of the ‘louche and the lugubrious’ according to the New Yorker magazine. He would go to Lindy’s, an all-night Jewish deli on Broadway that became Mindy’s in his stories, and listen.Runyon married a down-on-her-luck Spanish countess from Madrid, 26 years his younger, who turned out to be an up-on-her-heels Mexican dancer from Tampico. When he died his ashes were taken up in a plane and sprinkled all over New York.

    We had a brilliant time at The Hard Rock Cafe in Manchester. The food, atmosphere and the staff in particular made it such an enjoyable experience. Shout out to our server Steven, whose customer service was excellent too. We were celebrating my son’s birthday and the special free dessert for him and being serenaded by everyone in a Happy Birthday sing-long made his night extra special. The fajitas were delicious and such amazing value. The Messi burger too was incredible. We loved the live music and all of the music memorabilia posted around the restaurant too. We’d definitely recommend the restaurant for anyone visiting Manchester , any music fans or anyone celebrating a special occasion. It was wonderful. Thank you so much.

    The fact is we were running 15 mins late I rang and was assured that the table will be reserved for us. When we got there the atmosphere was electric . They gave us a seat at a corner table and were obstructed from seeing the centre stage . We kindly asked to be moved and they did move us to a more suitable booth. The food was delicious , I ordered Sea Bass and I can say one of the best I have tasted so far. Entertainment was really good.

    We booked in as staying in the hotel, we booked for 5.30pm We was sat down efficiently. Waitress and waiter was very helpful with how the menu worked and let us know if there was anything unavailable. Drinks arrived quickly. We ordered some small plates too share, mac and cheese croquet, fish goujons and sticky ribs they where amazing. All freshly prepared. Then for mains we ordered the pork belly noodles, burger, steak and fish and chips again all incredible. Chef came out to speak to us to make sure food was all good, this was great as we was out with parents so they really liked this touch to the service. Had a chat about our evening as we was watching peter kay. Couldn't fault the service or staff and we all really enjoyed the food. We would highley recommend.
