Whenever I go back I have to go to Hibachi Hut and Texas Star. Then head over to Auntie Mae’s for a drink/concert downstairs. In the warmer months Kathouse Lounge is a great place to get a summer brew and enjoy the patio.

I’d add the Sunset Zoo. Where else could a town this size have such a little gem of a zoo?

THANKS for this story! I have 3 kids at K-State (one a jr and twins that are freshmen) and there are some places you’ve mentioned that I hadn’t heard of. We will definitely hit up a few of these places next time we visit!

Bravo! Great article on “Manhappiness!” And what you referred to in the article about people being “generally friendly for no apparent reason” is one of many reasons why that town has earned that moniker.

My husband and I are season ticket holders to K-State football. There are no better, more loyal fans than those in “The Little Apple.” None of that fairweather fandom we see in many other schools. Some of which can never resist trying to throw in a jab at K-State for no other reason sometimes than just to do it. It’s kind of like how some unhappy people can’t stand to see anyone else happy, and want to drag them down into their bitter world. But guess what? It doesn’t work. The K-State and Manhattan faithful always prevail despite the naysayers and continue to show how much they love their Cats and their town. And why wouldn’t they? Manhattan is a beautiful town with a charming atmosphere, genuine people and an incredible university.

EMAW all the way!

Little Grill, the former Rocky Ford Tavern, became one of my favorite places to eat. While I was uber-disappointed to see the Tavern board up in late 2003 (I witnessed some great bar fights in this establishment), the Little Grill quickly became a staple-eatery for me. The jerk chicken and Red Stripe will fill the most demanding of appetites.

I LOVE Acme gifts!!! Of course there is nothing you really need in that store, but I always have to buy something anyway.
