Food-
-Bread Meats Bread is good eating for American style stuff (Lothian Road)
-Great breakfasts at Edinburgh Larder, the waffles are top tier (Blackfriars st)
-Mariachi on Victoria st for Mexican
Focus skate shop is the local SoS, good guys in there
Attractions- all the obvious ones, the castle is well worth it, camera obscura is fun but a bit expensive for what it is.
Pubs and bars are pretty much everywhere, lots of good ones but all fairly pricey. Food and drink is essentially London prices, so be prepared!
