When I moved to Liverpool a little under a decade ago the hotspot for unique clothing and items was Bold Street . There was fierce competition between the city centre location and further afield rival Lark Lane, but I was never swayed to make the journey out of town. I spent hours trawling Bold Street, popping into stores that weren't always my style, but were intriguing nonetheless.
My cash-strapped university student image was entirely curated thanks to the endless bargains available in Resurrection. Now, a stroll along the street feels fruitless - unless you're visiting on an empty stomach. While a few long-standing clothing and homeware businesses remain, they're slowly being eclipsed by the growing number of food spots dominating the area.
Bold Street is famed for its massive selection of international cuisine. There are Mexican, Vietnamese, Turkish and Korean restaurants along with classic takeaways featuring burgers, fish and chips, and everything else you could imagine. The street currently holds four different pizzerias, which, in my opinion, aren't hugely different from one other in terms of their offerings.
Pizza Punks, Rudy's, American Pizza Slice and Crust are all located within a short walk of one another, which begs the question - how many pizza restaurants does one street need? The street is also home to a vast number of takeaway options, with far more food outlets than shopping locations in recent years. International food outlets Pho, Rudy's and Elif all boa.
