If we get them we'll be staying in York for a day. Question - Are there any good antique stores around York that aren't super expensive, and also what would any locals recommend for us yanks to do while there for a day.' Good restaurants, etc. Any recommendations are appreciated! Anyone else heading to Whitby this year? This will be a quick trip in and out. Arriving on a Thursday and heading home that following Monday.
