What do you do with £5.00 for dinner?
Chips/fries on the beach is always a good budget option. You can people-watch while you eat, which is great fun because everybody in Brighton looks like they should be in a band. Honestly, from babies to grannies, it really is true. And for dessert, there’s Shakeaway, which makes all kinds of unusual milkshakes. Jam Doughnut milkshake anybody?
What about £10.00?
The George Pub–a vegetarian & vegan pub near the train station that serves lovely food. With £10 you’d have enough change for a pint of beer too.
Who has the happiest happy hour?
Suck It and Sea - Brighton’s latest old fashioned sweetie shop. It just puts a happy smile on your face when you visit. (Ed Note: Not a pub, but who doesn’t love that name?)
How much is too much to spend on transportation?
For a city, it’s pretty small so you can walk to most places. Plus it’s quite hilly so you get a free thigh workout thrown in. A daily bus ticket is about £3.
What are your top three free thrills?
The lovely beach–it’s shingle, not sand, which makes it all the crunchier to jump on.
The pier–a real old fashioned English seaside prom to walk up and down.
Open Houses Art Exhibitions–you can walk into a range of artists’ houses and check out the free exhibitions.
My one big indulgence is…
Shopping in the North Laine, where you can buy everything from Bonsai trees to tattoos.
If I had all the money in the world, I’d buy…
The Royal Pavilion to have parties in. But I suspect it’s not for sale.
