The magazine’s staff writer, India Lawrence, added: “One of the best things to do in Liverpool is eat. The first place I take visitors is the Middle-Eastern-inspired Maray for their disco cauliflower.
“Afterwards, wander along the riverfront to the amazing Lark Lane. This street is filled with quirky shops, wine bars, and is home to the deliciously popular Lunko bakery. Grab a huge pastry and a coffee and enjoy a walk around neighbouring Sefton Park.”
