Make a Day of It:

The Tidy Take:
Tidy Guides recommends Fossgate Social because it feels properly York without being touristy: independent, relaxed, a little bit cool and very easy to settle into. It’s the kind of place where coffee can become cocktails, cocktails can become “shall we stay?” and suddenly Fossgate has claimed your evening.
