Ah, Manhattan. Shopping with the girlfriends, taking the boy out for new camping equipment… there’s more shopping here than can fit into a day. Aggieville reigns as the oldest shopping district in Kansas. From dusty bookshelves to brilliant flowers and great dining, visitors who want to embrace the college atmosphere, or are K-State passionate will get a kick out of Aggieville. Park the car and enjoy the walk up and down Moro Street! Double check each corner and side street – there are local shops and eateries tucked into all kinds of nooks and crannies. Also, don’t miss Varneys- it’s the anchor point to Aggieville, and full of all things purple.
