2024 Valentine's Day Romantic Restaurants in Manhattan, KS

Romantic Valentine's Day Dinner

I know it might still be hard to believe that the calendar has switched over to 2024, but now we’re already just a few weeks away from Valentine’s Day. If you live here in Manhattan, Kansas, you might be looking for some romantic restaurants that you can check out this year with your significant other or someone special. We’ve got a few local ideas for you to consider, refraining from including mainstream national chains. Keep reading to learn all about them.

Wine Dive + Kitchen

Without a doubt the best option for a cozy romantic dinner, both in terms of the location and the high-class, fine-dining menu that they have to offer, is Wine Dive + Kitchen. Get a bottle of wine and a delicious meal while enjoying the atmosphere of the restaurant, or order their incredible food for carryout or delivery and build an even more romantic dinner locale for yourselves. The choice is yours!

Cox Bros. BBQ

While Cox Bros. BBQ is more of a sports bar than a romantic restaurant, it’s definitely one of the best meals in town and a truly local restaurant. If you and your special someone are big barbecue fans, you can’t go wrong by visiting Cox for the holiday, even if it doesn’t exactly fit the traditional mold.

Houlihan’s

Alright, technically this one is a national chain, but it’s not as mainstream as your Applebees’ or Olive Gardens. The incredible menu that Houlihan’s has to offer is more than enough to warrant them a place on our shortlist here. You and your loved one are sure to find something you’ll enjoy and you’re bound to have a night to remember.

However you decide to spend your Valentine’s Day this year, we hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful day.

Things to Do for Easter 2024 in Manhattan KS

This year’s holidays are flying by as we’re already halfway through March. While St. Patrick’s Day is still coming up this weekend, we needed to get a jump start on Easter as it’s a little earlier this year. Last year the most egg-cellent holiday on the calendar didn’t take place until over a week into April, but for 2024 Easter is on March 31st. If you’re looking for things to do with the family to celebrate here in Manhattan, Kansas, this year, we’ve got a few ideas for you to consider. more Easter at the Farm Will kick things off with a fun weekend of Easter shenanigans at A & H Farm. The farm is located at 1374 Collins Lane here in town and it will be hosting two events, with the first being for adults only and the second for the whole family. The weekend kicks off at 6:30 p.m. on Friday March 29th with Hoppin’ in the Hops, an adult-only easter egg hunt. Alcohol will be served, over $2,000 worth of prizes will be given away, and there will be plenty of ‘80s jams rocking along all night until the event ends at 11:30 p.m. This will then be followed up with Easter for the Family at 10:00 a.m. the next morning. You and the whole family will be able to have a yummy meal with the Easter Bunny before combing several acres of land for as many Easter eggs as the kiddos can find. Other fun activities include a giant slide, a petting zoo, storybooks and more. Oh, not to mention the Four Legs and Easter Eggs event, which is a pet-friendly easter egg hunt we can’t wait to see unfold. Downtown Manhattan Farmer’s Market Annual Egg Hunt Alternatively you can head to the Downtown Manhattan Farmer’s Market from 10:00 a.m. to noon for their annual egg hunt. The market itself and shopping will open an hour earlier and you’ll be able to win gift baskets, collect candy and play all kinds of games with the whole family throughout the day. Bunny Hides the Booze This year Easter seems to be for the adults. We’ll wrap up with one more adult-only Easter egg hunt, Bunny Hides the Booze, hosted by Liquid Art Winery from 7-8:00 p.m. on March 29th. The winery is located at 1745 Wildcat Creek Rd. and will have 75 eggs hidden throughout the estate. The eggs represent boozy prizes that you’re sure to enjoy. However you decide to celebrate the hoppiest holiday of the year, we simply hope you enjoy your time. Happy Easter from all of us here at Briggs!
