Adventures In The Little Apple

Food & Shopping:

Downtown Manhattan, on Poyntz Avenue, there are shops, restaurants, as well as the local mall, the Manhattan Town Center.  This street is lined with historical buildings, a display of classy, exquisite architecture decorated with Purple Pride.  For a fancy night on the town, stop by the historic and tasteful Harry's for fine dining in a romantic setting.

Aggieville, the oldest shopping district in Kansas, is right down the street from the popular, historic downtown.  Aggieville also offers an array of dining venues and retail stores.  If you are looking for a casual night of dining, maybe dinner with friends, Aggieville is the place for you.  

Manhattan also provides the opportunity for locally owned restaurants to be made available; from the east side of town to the west, Manhattan is filled with businesses that truly support the community.  Below is a list of some of the locally owned establishments:

• 4 Olives Restaurant and Wine Bar
• The Chef
• della Voce
• Early Edition
• Hibachi Hut
• Kite's Bar & Grill

Manhattan is proudly welcoming a fun new center for families to enjoy and learn about the area; the Flint Hills Discovery Center will be opening up in the spring of 2012.  It's a place for families to explore the science and history of the Flint Hills.  A perfect place to spend a Saturday afternoon!
