Bigg Market - The area known as "the Bigg Market" actually comprises Bigg
Market, Groat Market, and Cloth Market.
The offices of the Newcastle's local
newspapers are situated here. A small fruit and vegetable market operates three
days a week in the recently prettified square, where wooden seating provides a
welcome rest for shoppers. But it is after dark that the place really comes
alive, offering the loudest, brashest, nightlife in the city.
With 15 pubs you
can have a pub crawl without walking more than a hundred yards. Takeaways
selling pizzas, kebabs, Chinese food, and baked potatoes give ample opportunity
for soaking up excess beverage. If you prefer to eat sitting down, choose
Kentucky Fried Chicken or Pizza Hut. For something more formal there are Greek
and Indian restaurants.
