Things to do

• Eating
  Appetite @ Rowlands

  42 Howe Street, Central New Town 225 3711
  Team Charlie and Nigel have really made the most of this fantastic take away shop which was an Edinburgh institution under Rowland and continues to be so with Charlie and Nigel. They have a great range of delicious home made proper food and are famous for their curries and salads. There are usually five choices of yummy hot main meals. This is a superb place to get your dinner too, if you’re feeling too lazy to cook. They are also Edinburgh’s leading outside caterers. There’s a family connection so mention you’re in a Dickins flat for even better service. They close at around 4pm.

• Eating
  Café Marlayne

  76 Thistle Street, Central New Town 226 2230
  Genuinely French, tiny little restaurant that feels like a real find.
  Scrumptious food although not great for veggies. Great value lunch.

  Fishers in the City

  58 Thistle Street, Central New Town, 225 5109
  This is the bigger and buzzier new relation of the Leith stalwart. Never disappoints and good for an occasion dinner. Best to book.

  Inverleith Row [East Gate] & Arboretum Place [West Gate], Stockbridge 552 7171
  The Botanic Gardens have one of most impressive collections of trees and plants in the world and is a gorgeous place to get lost in an while away a few hours. The glasshouses are where we Edinburgh folk used to go for a treat before the days of central heating! Inverleith House usually has an interesting modern art exhibition and the views of Edinburgh from here are stunning.

• Shopping
  Bowers
  75 Raeburn Place, Stockbridge
  Not for the blood shy! This proper old style butcher has superb quality meat and game and you’re likely to hear some of the funniest chat you are to witness this year whilst waiting in the queue next to a dead pheasant or twenty. Good range of taxidermy too!
