For our January health & wellness issue, it was an honor to include Manhattan’s Heartland Dermatology!

“In January 2024, Heartland Dermatology officially welcomed the clinic formerly known as Manhattan Dermatology into its family. With 18 locations across Kansas, this strategic acquisition brought together two trusted names in Kansas dermatology, offering patients an even greater range of services and expertise.

Manhattan Dermatology, founded in the early 1990’s, had built a strong reputation in Riley County and the surrounding areas. Led by Dr. David Harden, and known for its skilled practitioners and friendly staff, the clinic specialized in both medical and cosmetic dermatology, including the treatment of skin cancers, acne, and psoriasis.
January 2025 marks a milestone in Heartland Dermatology’s journey: the first anniversary of its acquisition of Manhattan Dermatology, a step that further expanded its reach and impact while upholding its commitment to patient care.”

We’re pretty proud of our guy, Will Howard.

He was featured on the cover of the February 2023 Manhattan City Lifestyle issue holding the Big XII trophy. We were so happy to watch him hold the National Championship trophy last night.

Check out the article from two years ago. It goes into his early life, and his experience at K-State. It was also kind of foretelling about his future would play out.

“With Will Howard at quarterback, the sky is the limit. Be sure to keep the confetti, ci**rs, and bottles of Dr. Pepper ready for next season!”

Happy New Year!

We say it every month that this is the best issue yet, which is still true - but this one - might be our most important yet.

-It seems like everyone had an interesting/rough/tough 2024. Just look on facebook, look on instagram, talk to anyone in person - it seems to have been ‘one of those years’ for everybody. We were tested, we were tried. 2024 challenged us all— forcing us to grapple with uncertainty, change, and newfound resilience.

That’s where the new year, and the new issue of Manhattan City Lifestyle comes in so handy!

Everything always starts with you and your belief in yourself, and that belief goes from sun up to sun down.

Happy New Year’s Eve!

The last day of the calendar year just means that we’re one day closer to the actual best time of the year - SUMMER!

And nothing screams summer more than going for a swim!

Manhattan has some great public pools, the Manhattan Country Club’s pool is the best party in town - but what about having your very own pool, in your very own backyard? Thankfully for those of us in Little Apple, we have Energy Center-Manhattan Pool for the start to finish process!

December is actually the best time of year to start the pool building process, so now is the time you want to start the planning process - just in time for that summer heat!

Words cannot describe how incredible last night was. Somebody Somewhere fans from across the US (and Canada!) brought all the love to our theatre as we said goodbye to our beloved show. We laughed, we cried, we celebrated right alongside the wildly talented Bridget Everett, Jeff Hiller, Mary Catherine Garrison, Murray Hill, Tim Bagley, Paul Thureen, and Hannah Bos.

More than anything we wish this show could continue, but we're so grateful to have shared this moment with you all. Thank you for bringing such warmth, honesty, and joy to our screens week after week. You made us proud 💜

Because of everyone in attendance, we were able to raise funds to support local nonprofits Be Able Community and True Colors Flint Hills, Inc. while giving the send off Somebody Somewhere deserves right here at home in Manhattan, KS.

Shout out to Stephanie Grynkiewicz who approached us with the amazing idea to do this event 2 years ago and our team who made it possible.

Huge thank you to our volunteers, vendors, and event partners:
Arrow Cocktail Lounge
The Chef Cafe
Manhattan Brewing Company
Rock A Belly Deli
Varsity Donuts
Vista Drive In
KQ in Kansas
Switch Wicked
