There millions of places to eat and drink (some of which are situated in Newcastle itself). The centre for drinking is undoubtably the Big Market area (which actually used to be a market, as did the Haymarket, Grassmarket and Greenmarket (which still is!)) Traditional attire in Newcastle in the winter evenings includes (for men) a small t-shirt and a pair of jeans or (for women) a three millimetre long skirt and see-through top. All attempts to stay warm must be made with as many people as possible (together or one at a time). In summer people don't wear as much.
