Title: Visiting Manhattan for a game, give me the lowdown
Post by: sak on September 03, 2014, 11:39:29 AM
Family of 5, ranging from late 20s into our 60s will be in town for the Auburn game. I don't know anything about Manhattan, so what should we visitors expect on a Thursday night? Where to park? Where to eat? Where to tailgate? What else should we know?

Looking forward to the game, War Eagle.

As far as fine dining goes, head to Kite's in Aggieville and get the burger. It was rated best sports bar in America. You can park and tailgate right next to the stadium. Plenty of parking all over.

Probably the coolest bar in all of manhattan sits under ground. You have to talk to a cop to be able to get in. It's like a legendary cave. Auntie Maes is what it's called. Plenty of room and good ppl down there. Grab a Tarantuala.

You can park at BSFS. Tailgate their as well.

What are you guys looking to do? Party hardy? Or keep it family oriented?

Since the game is on a school night, I would expect a pretty light crowd.  Like the previous poster said, parking and picking a seat in the stadium should be fairly easy.  Go to Aggieville for food.

Good luck and welcome to the board.  I hope your tigers can bounce back from the loss to Georgia last weekend (just not against us  ;)).  Cheers!

go ahead and get to Kites as early as possible, I believe they open at 11 am. the place will be packed and you dont want to be waiting for an hour, even though the burger is totally worth it.

Eat in Aggieville, I recommend So Long. Grab beers in Aggieville. Stay away from Kites.

Great comeback against Wisconsin. I was thoroughly impressed by the Bayou Bengals.

After the game, head to Bobby T's. That's where the townies go. Then load up the car and hit Aggieville. Start at the Aggie Lounge and order the house special (Busch Light can). Hit as many bars as you can, but go to Bushwackers (not sure if it is still open) last. That's where all of the Ft. Riley soldiers hang out. Be sure to thank them for their service.

It can be tough to tell if I'm being trolled, if part of the post is a troll, or if you just made an honest mistake confusing Clemson with Auburn. In any event... picking a seat in the stadium should be easy? Is the stadium general admission? That seems strange, but I don't have my tickets in hand just yet so I can't be sure.

Excellent questions, sorry about the confusion.  No I was just saying that with class the next day there will be a bunch of open seats, so if you say, buy upper deck tickets, you can probably walk down to the lower level and sit somewhere else during the game that has a better view.

You definitely want to make the trek over to the SW corner of the stadium about 60 minutes before the game. There is a statue there of Ernie Barrett, Mr. K-State. We have a little tradition of welcoming visiting fans there with some of our fellow bloggers. #dojo

sak!  WAR DAMN EAGLE!

This place is the nest!  I've found KSU fans, on this board at least, to be very reasonable and honed in on the opinions/facts that power college football.  It's like a little Toomer's Drugs* in the Midwest, in the internet, in your dome.

They really love their wizardly college football coach, whom they like to refer to in a variety of acronyms and celebrate the fact that they haven't lost a football game since 1893.

*And by Toomer's Drugs, I really mean The Supper Club or, if you're old enough to remember, Harry's on Opelika Road.

He walked straight up to the grill and started rummaging through the food that my roommate and I had cooked. I don't like that most of his unacceptable behavior is condoned just because it's him carrying out the action. Mental health problems or not, the way he conducts himself at K-State sporting events shouldn't be tolerated.

That being said, being from the south you haven't much exposure to outdoor beauty.  Go to Pillsbury crossing, it would instantly be the most beautiful place in the entire state of Alabama if it were moved there.

To be fair, he is the most "alabama thing" we have to offer and an encounter with him should make our SEC-SEC-SEC fan friends feel right at home.

Adult entertainment? Trot on over to Junction City. It's like Manhattan's evil twin (if the twin is half the size and covered with warts). More or less the Mobile of the Midwest.

Post by: purplehaze on September 04, 2014, 10:31:09 AM
Here's purplehaze's quick and dirty on my baller hometown:

Poyntz has the nicest collection of resteraunts:
-Harry's (classic americano)
-4 Olive's (wine / fine dining)
-Bourbon & Baker (whiskey / great food / bakery)
-Dela Voce (italian / cocktails)
-Hibachi Hut (cajun)

Aggieville has the bars
-Auntie Mae's (parlor, basement bar, strong drinks, good vibes)
-Aggie Station (best food in the ville imo)
-So Long Saloon (best burgers, black bean dip)
-Taco Lucha (margs / tacos) (get the pineapple beer aka a "nancy" at lucha or so long)
-Rock-a-belly (sandwiches, good tap, summer beers)
-Keltic Star (guiness, cider, fish n chips)
-Aggie Lounge (dive bar, busch light, pickled eggs)
-Kites, Rusty's, Tanner's, Johnny Kaws, Tubby's, are all sports bars and I don't really think they have much that separates them.
-Radina's and Bluestem are great coffee shops

Bottom line is that Aggieville is your game-day headquarters before heading to the game. It's a long walk from the stadium, but a beautiful walk through campus if you're up to it. There are also shuttles that go from Aggieville to the game and back, but they don't start until 2 hr before kickoff I believe.

Other MHK places:
-Discovery Center (natural history museum about surrounding area)
-Tuttle Creek (large lake out of town)
-Sunset Zoo (newly upgraded, very nice zoo)
-Colbert Hills (pro level public golf course)
-Konza Prairie (largest un-plowed tallgrass prairie in the world... beautiful)
-Tallgrass Brewery (awesome craft brewery, check for tours)

:gocho:

The part about Ogden is a joke, right? Not gE'ing.

Not gE'ing, do better
what?!? I haven't been to Ogden in years. Last time I was there it was to blast some rounds at the shooting range with my pops. Have they legitimately fixed up a river front area?

Ogden..."The City with Pride."  And so much to be proud of.  http://www.ogden-ks.gov/

Good find, bones129.  What a wonderful little jewel.

I think the website says it best, "Ogden is a growing community and offers a great lifestyle for young and old, single and married, families with children and without".

Tough call. Ogden was truly the King of Courts until the '93 Flood. Probably 75% courts then, but the flood washed out probably 1/3 of them. Maybe more.

The baseline for consideration would be 75 percent trailer court housing. I actually think Ogden's higher than that, unless someone has thrown up a bunch of cheap off-base housing in the past five years. I don't know I there is a housing alternative in Edwardsville.

An outfit called RIM Development went into Ogden several years ago and built a ton of apartments by the riverfront.

Also OP may want to check out the Green Chicken just east of Manhattan in St George but be warned they have no pride yet,just the program.

Here's purplehaze's quick and dirty on my baller hometown:

Poyntz has the nicest collection of resteraunts:
-Harry's (classic americano)
-4 Olive's (wine / fine dining)
-Bourbon & Baker (whiskey / great food / bakery)
-Dela Voce (italian / cocktails)
-Hibachi Hut (cajun)

Aggieville has the bars
-Auntie Mae's (parlor, basement bar, strong drinks, good vibes)
-Aggie Station (best food in the ville imo)
-So Long Saloon (best burgers, black bean dip)
-Taco Lucha (margs / tacos) (get the pineapple beer aka a "nancy" at lucha or so long)
-Rock-a-belly (sandwiches, good tap, summer beers)
-Keltic Star (guiness, cider, fish n chips)
-Aggie Lounge (dive bar, busch light, pickled eggs)
-Kites, Rusty's, Tanner's, Johnny Kaws, Tubby's, are all sports bars and I don't really think they have much that separates them.
-Radina's and Bluestem are great coffee shops

Bottom line is that Aggieville is your game-day headquarters before heading to the game. It's a long walk from the stadium, but a beautiful walk through campus if you're up to it. There are also shuttles that go from Aggieville to the game and back, but they don't start until 2 hr before kickoff I believe.

Other MHK places:
-Discovery Center (natural history museum about surrounding area)
-Tuttle Creek (large lake out of town)
-Sunset Zoo (newly upgraded, very nice zoo)
-Colbert Hills (pro level public golf course)
-Konza Prairie (largest un-plowed tallgrass prairie in the world... beautiful)
-Tallgrass Brewery (awesome craft brewery, check for tours)

:gocho:

Sak, as a 60-ish parent, season-ticket holder and a local resident of over 20 years, I vote for Purple Haze's list.  I think Auntie Mae's may not be to the taste of everyone in your family.  For an Aggieville eatery, I would go with So Long Saloon. So Long has excellent variety in the menu; the burgers are excellent and the black bean/raspberry dip is heavenly and worth a trip. The drawback to So Long is that it is fairly small, so hitting it at peak meal times makes it tough to get a seat. Get there early! It can also be noisy, but that is par for the course for almost anywhere in Aggieville.  Radina's and Bluestem are great coffee/sandwich shops that will give a non-bar environment. Keltic Star is very nice, quieter than most, and has an authentic Irish menu.  Variety Donuts has a vintage environment, great donuts, and local personality. Harry's (downtown on Poyntz--http://www.harrysmanhattan.com/ (http://www.harrysmanhattan.com/) ) is a lovely restaurant for an authentic local meal if you will be here before or after game day. 

Call Hall ice cream is awesome. If you visit the Dairy Bar in Call Hall http://www.asi.k-state.edu/services-and-sales/call-hall-dairy-bar.html (http://www.asi.k-state.edu/services-and-sales/call-hall-dairy-bar.html), you'll find sandwiches, ice cream, and other products produced at the university.  The Student Union has a bowling alley that is fun for a family activity.

Personally, I would avoid Bushwacker's, Aggie Lounge and Bobby T's. I think they are more the 18-22 year old crowd. Doughboys Pizza is out of business, so you can't eat there! I loved their pizza, but they are no longer open.

Radina's has a new Bakeshop at 3rd and Ft. Riley Blvd that is getting rave reviews.  The Chef Cafe on 4th between Poyntz and Houston St. is extremely popular for breakfast and lunch.  I wouldn't go to Pizza Ranch for this trip; it is OK, but nothing to write home about and definitely not a uniquely Manhattan experience.  Freddy's Frozen Custar d  & Cox Brothers BBQ (both on McCall Road) and Vista Burger (Tuttle Creek Blvd) all have good food.  Freddy's has hamburgers & hot dogs as well as the rich ice cream.

I don't think there will be many empty seats in the stadium.  Even though it is a Thursday night and very inconvenient for out of town season ticket holders, there will be people in all the seats and the environment will be electric.  Welcome to Manhattan and to K-State; I hope you and your family have an excellent visit to the Little Apple!

I may need to stand corrected on Auntie Mae's. I haven't been there in forever.  I also didn't think about Bushwacker's being closed; is the building completely closed or has it reemerged as yet another name? It has been off of my radar a long time. All I could remember was the rowdy reputation that it had gained through the years.

Good to hear Ogden finally has pride,they have had the pride program in place for years.I guess pride just doesn't happen overnight.

Also OP may want to check out the Green Chicken just east of Manhattan in St George but be warned they have no pride yet,just the program.

Don't go to Hippo Variety in St George. The guy that runs it spends his time masturbating in the back office during the day. Source A+

I hadn't thought about how inconvenienced out of town season ticket holders would be trying to get to a Thursday night game.  That really is a shame.
I am having to burn half a vaycay day to get up in time for some proper tailgating.  But then again when you are  :kstategrad: you have plenty in the bag.

The Thursday game works out better for me, I'm taking off Thursday, Friday, and Monday

man. sue just burned the ever loving heck out of haze for not including the chef. absolute best in the business for breakfast/brunch and it's downtown!

sue- why don't you think auntie mae's would be liked by his/her family? there isn't a more relaxed/family friendly bar in town.
This is totally true. Tons of parents come in with their kids before the games. The parents get Bloody Marys and the kids get Shirley Temples. Everyone leaves happy and ready to cheer on our Kansas State WILDCATS!!!

Memo to Sunflowersue, Coco-Bolo's is also a very family friendly Manhattan establishment.

The parents can have margaritas and Tijuana Trainwrecks while the kids can have chocolate milks and cheese quesadillas.

i have a funny story about that dump. i guess some new people bought the building across the little parking lot from them, painted it purple and are planning to do a similar concept. oh and they also found out that the entire space between them and bushwackers/dirty dogs including the dirty dog patio actually belongs to them.

What is the business plan? How much do you need? I think this was brought up a couple of years ago, but nothing ever became of it. I also need to see that the mods are fully on board and invested in this. It would never take off if the mods didn't have some skin in the game.

That is pretty interesting. I say they do a death match for the rights to the patio.

to those of you giving good advice... thank you very much.

to those of you trolling visitors like myself, do you realize how stupid it is to try and have visitors who are patronizing your local merchants leave with a negative impression of your town and its fans?


Are you gonna give us a bad Yelp review or something?

A word of advice for our visitors:  Manhattan KS has a law that any drivers talking on a cell phone must be using a hands free device.  Getting caught and cited for that phone up to your ear can cost you $150.00 or more.  Like many other states, texting while driving is illegal state-wide.

There are signs about the hands-free law within the city limits, but they are small, not real numerous, and easily missed.

All of the visitors should be sure to show up to the stadium early. It's Harley Day. This is an event we have once per year where some of the big money boosters get to ride their hog around the stadium in a  parade before kickoff.
