I work in town: Alex Sotirios, Thrift Shop Manchester - her favourite neighbourhood? "Probably the Northern Quarter, yeah. Unfortunately"

Manchester is buzzing this summer. Football's journey home began with England winning their opening Euros game at Old Trafford. We've hosted more than 100,000 music-lovers in just one weekend, and basked in long, sunny days, too.
To celebrate the people who make Manchester the tour-de-force it now is, the Manchester Evening News is going out to chat to them. We're speaking to people who work in the city centre - from shop assistants, to florists, and record shop junkies.
Where's better to start than one of the city's most popular clothing stores? Thrift Shop Manchester, next to Piccadilly Gardens bus station, is a haunt of the hyper-trendy searching for the next look before the rest of us know whatever the new 'black' is.

Alex Sotirios, who works in the shop, is perhaps the epitome of cool. Her tattoos, blue nail varnish, and hair are hallmarks of Manchester's never-say-die DIY spirit. Here's what makes her tick...
- Where’s your favourite hidden gem?
This shop, to be honest. Maybe the pubs in the alleyways of Piccadilly, apart from this shop.
- What’s your favourite view of the city or in the city?
There’s a Q Car Park just off Oxford Road, where you can see all of the city. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I’d recommend it.
- Where’s best to go for your dinner in town?
Pen and Pencil is pretty good, Home Sweet Home before it closed — RIP, God bless — and Alvarium is pretty good for vegan food.
- Where would you take someone to show them the real Manchester?
Afflecks pretty much summarises the Northern Quarter in one little trip, then you have to go out of town. Maybe go to Chorlton, Didsbury,
