Mankato sits along a bend in the Minnesota River, a Dakota name meaning greenish blue earth that hints at the bluffs and water views travelers find here. Sixty-one restaurants cover everything from riverside cafes to hearty Midwestern fare, and after a day exploring, a dozen hotels offer easy, comfortable places to rest.
