A Day of Local Flavor with Arch + Cable
At Arch + Cable, we love celebrating the charm of Mankato. One of the best ways to experience the city is through its food. That’s why we’ve crafted a perfect day of dining, just steps from your stay.
Breakfast at Benedicts
Start your morning right with hearty comfort food at Benedicts, a Mankato favorite. Whether you crave a classic eggs Benedict or a fluffy stack of pancakes, their menu delivers a delicious, energizing start to your day.
After breakfast, head toward the Minnesota Riverfront. The Riverfront Trail is perfect for a morning stroll, offering sweeping views, peaceful greenery, and even a peek at the city’s historic bridges. If you’re feeling adventurous, rent a bike and cruise along the paved path, there’s nothing like the fresh air and quiet hum of the river to set a relaxed tone for your day.
Lunch at Nolabelle
When midday hunger strikes, head over to Nolabelle, where farm-fresh ingredients and seasonal dishes shine. Their vibrant menu pairs perfectly with a light, refreshing atmosphere, ideal for a relaxed lunch between adventures.
With lunch behind you, spend the afternoon exploring Downtown Mankato. Wander through Old Town and discover its colorful murals, charming boutiques, and cozy coffee shops tucked into historic buildings. Art lovers will appreciate the Carnegie Art Center, while history buffs can explore local landmarks that tell the story of Mankato’s past. If the weather is nice, pause at one of the small parks downtown for a moment of people-watching.
Dinner at Number 4
Cap off your evening with a refined dining experience at Number 4. From hand-cut steaks to craft cocktails, this spot offers a warm and elevated atmosphere, perfect for winding down and savoring the best of local cuisine.
When the night settles in, watch downtown come alive with glowing lights or catch a local performance at one of Mankato’s theaters or music venues. If you’re looking for something quieter, head back to Arch + Cable, where cozy spaces and warm ambiance invite you to unwind. In your room, plush bedding and a calming atmosphere make it easy to settle in and rest well. From sunup to sundown, Mankato offers a perfect blend of flavors, scenery, and small-city charm.
