Great Southside Giveaway - Cookie and the Citz
Cookie and The Citizen's theatre have recently teamed up to offer a 15% discount on pre-theatre food to people holding valid Citizen's tickets. "We want to put the theatre back into pre-theatre, we also want to let you wine and dine after the show. Our 2 course set menu costs only £10 for pre-theatre dining for patrons and we will have a taxi waiting for you."
Both places are on our favourite list so this sounds like a great deal and with the new season underway at The Citizen's there are lots of good reasons to give it a try.
To celebrate this new deal we are pleased to offer pre-theatre dinner for two at Cookie and two tickets to see Marilyn at the Citz this Thursday night 10 March @ 7:30pm. All you need to do to enter the prize draw is tell us "Your best Southside Secret" *. There will also be some runners up tickets too so get entering, Winners will be announed on the Blog tomorrow morning so check back to see if you've won.
Marilyn
"During the summer of 1960, Marilyn Monroe and French actress Simone Signoret live in adjacent apartments at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Thrown together while Monroe films the movie Let’s Make Love with Signoret’s husband Yves Montand, the pair form an uneasy friendship, plagued by jealousy and insecurity. Under the watchful eye of Patti, hairdresser to the stars, it will become a relationship that will test their deepest beliefs and threaten to destroy them both."

glass house in Queens Pk, w soft play space for littl'uns, & Cookies' barter produce scheme
The Go Slow Cafe on Victoria Road is just an amazing place to have a nice coffee with a scone(for example on a Saturday morning after the Farmers Market).
They also have nice home-made soups. And the atmosphere is just great and relaxing !
Margaret's Hairdressers in Skirving Street. Been there 40 years, and many of her clients have been with her from the beginning. She and Marian look after the customers with extraordinary care - they are shepherded to and fro in taxis, walked home, and generally given an astonishing level of personal care. There are, to be fair, not many young ladies joining the client list, so it was particularly heartening this week to see Margaret had invested in new signage, the first since 1983. This is the kind of business that should be subsidised by the public purse, as it provides a social service that is as invaluable as it is rare.
The best southside secret is IBop at Pollok Ex-Servicemens' Social Club. Best night out in the southside!
The two full height fridges full of German beers in the Allison Arms, 720 P'shaws Road.
If you're looking for a great soft play for kids, then Whale of a Time behind Shawlands Arcade is excellent!
Nuala Ashe on Kilmarnock road, best place for last-minute birthday presses.
best south side secret is my favourite place to eat in Glasgow: the Sheerin Palace on Alison St, real Pakistani home cooking.
Clockwork beer co brews its own beers on site! Yes the southside has its very own microbrewery! www.clockworkbeercompany.co.uk
adventure swingpark in St Andrews Drive - always empty when Adam and I visit.

http://www.grianach.co.uk/ - in the depths of Glasgow winter home made cake and free SAD lamps @ Grianach are southsides best kept secret!
Parkrun - every saturday in Pollok park at 9.30 a.m. It's free, friendly and blows those Friday night cobwebs away!
has to be the Greek Golden Kebab. The only way I've found to make a wet day in Battlefield feel like an 80s holiday in the Med
Moco Hair Design on Deanston Drive, saviours of my hair..
I'd like to recommend the 129 & 303 buses - rarely sighted, nearly always empty and fastest in Glasgow
i managed 2 get in 2 the shed after an old firm wuth football colours!
I know I can't enter the comp but mine would be Greek Golden Kebab, view from the flag pole in QP, & Art Park in Bellahouston
It's gotta be the Clockwork! Sit upstairs with a pint and watch the trains coming at you over the bridge. Not that I'm a trainspotter or anything. Cough.
Has got to be Magpies nest ..... Burleigh Street, Govan ..... Has the best vintage and retro wear at cheap prices :)
Not sure how much of a secret it is but I love the Tramway & the Secret Garden. Lovely place to chillout & kiddy friendly too :-)
We moved Southside 6 months ago and we love it! Secrets we've discovered so far include Pollock Parkrun, well organised and friendly; adult drama classes at the Citizen; and the best secret of all great neighbours
Bungo in the lanes, southside festival and battlefield community garden!!
My southside secrets:
1. Camphill Fort. At the top of QP hill, variously populated by Britons, Romans and Normans and probably the oldest structure in the city,
2. Mary's Stone. Up Old Castle Rd, past the Smiddy, hit the trees and turn left.... Where Mary QoS is supposed to have watched the Battle of Langside, there's a really nice monogramed stone to mark the spot.
3. Queen's Park Church of Scotland. Where there are stained glass windows and plaques in memory of Jane Haining, the only Scot to die at Auschwitz.
That'll do for the now!

There is a little gift shop on Battlefield road on the hill going up to the park. Its called Pink Wafer, it is so so great for buying gifts and cards, they also do the most amazing scented candles that are very reasonably priced. http://www.pinkwafer.co.uk/contacts-us-1-w.asp
My other favourite south side haunt is Arturo's in Mount Florida. Its is a deli sandwich shop. The owner (Arturo) is Portuguese but has lived in New York most his life, so he makes a mean sandwich! All his bread is from Tapa and he really doent scrimp on the fillings! You can buy amazing Milano Salami from him too. You need to be patient as he takes his time making the sanwiches! Its great!
