We love the energy of the downtown area. There are great restaurants - Harry's Uptown, El Patron, Della Voce, Tallgrass Taphouse, AJs Pizza, The Chef, and Bourbon & Baker. City Park is very close by with a great water park and pool, baseball, tennis, volleyball, an ice rink in winter, playground equipment, and jogging/biking path. The mall sits at the end of downtown with a dine-in and IMAX theatre, and lots of shopping. The Manhattan Public Library is only 5 minutes away, also downtown. It's an easy drive to the K-State campus and Bill Snyder Family Stadium and Bramlage.
