Greetings!
Downtown Manchester is a Destination Location with:
- places to see, buy, frame and make artwork,
- great restaurants to enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner,
- welcoming establishments to enjoy coffee, ice cream and beer, and
- businesses to help with your banking, home buying, insurance, hardware and hair styling needs.
When you do visit, please look for a paper copy of the restaurant guide as well as downtown's new Discovery Maps and WORK_SPACE's Destination Downtown Bookmarks with special promotions at some of our neighboring businesses. And....if you aren't ready to join us in person, join us tonight on Instagram Live for a tour of the Gallery and take one of our online art workshops (free to Veterans). More details below....including opportunities to experience coworking for free!
