Best city , Leeds or Newcastle

[PTID]

Never been able to decide, always thought it was a bit nip and tuck, with little between the two , but having visited Leeds for first time since late 90s, I have to say I now think Leeds is far better than Newcastle , in terms of pubs, restaurants and shops.

Newcastle

 

[weebil64]

Durham.

Id say Newcastle by a country mile. Mind only done leeds maybe 4 times.

Leeds is far more affluent than the north east, which is reflected in the shops... restaurants i can't comment on, but from personal experience i've thought newcastle the better in terms of pubs (Liverpool being the closest in my experience).

Both full of arseholes

Newcastle from them two, but prefer Durham.

All good cities though.

 

[dixonsafc]

Leeds is better, but Newcastle was much better last time I was up.

 

[ErichZann]

Prefer the likes of York and Durham to those two

 

[Charmless Man]

I do have a massive soft spot for Leeds after spending three years at University there so I can’t give an unbiased opinion.

I’ve lived in Newcastle for 2 years now and don’t have the same soft spot. But that may be because working just isn’t as fun as University

Out of UK cities that aren’t London I like Manchester the best, got to say.

 

[JAZZMANB]

Newcastle for a dodge out

 

[What A Waster]

Newcastle.
Dislike the vibe of Leeds. Don't like the people.

 

[girojim]

Neither are Peterlee

 

[Napoleon Dynamite]

Newcastle

Leeds folk seem to be up their own arses

This.

Both great cities. And more should be made of them. As should Sunderland, Durham, York, Sheffield, Liverpool, Manchester et al.

 

[forzamilansafc]

Neither, but I’d pick Leeds

 

[Stubbs ftm]

Manchester>Leeds>Newcastle

Spot the odd one out.

For some reason Leeds was the promised land for anyone my age who desperately wanted to move away for uni but didn’t really want to go have to go very far and wanted to come home every weekend to go to Ku Club and tell everyone that they now live in Leeds.

Everyone I’ve ever met from Leeds has been a complete helmet.

 

[OOOSH YEAH]

Much of a muchness. They both about have the same amount of decent restaurants and pubs. Shops are about the same as well. Very similar cities. Suppose looks wise Newcastle has Grey St and the quayside looking up the bridges and stuff. I’d say on that final thing Newcastle just shades it.
