Decent city, kind of boring 3 rating By Anonymous ( Jul 11, 2021) I have lived here for a little over a year. Overall, I have found my time in Manitowoc to be a bit disappointing. Manitowoc seems like a hard city to fit in if you didn't grow up here. It's a very small town, with a shrinking population. People tend to prefer to stay with their c ...Read More liques of friends they've known for 20+ years. As someone in their mid 20's, I find it very difficult to meet up with people my own age. Most places I go to, I am at least 20 years younger than everyone else. I frequently have to travel to Sheboygan or Green Bay, because a lot of things I took for granted living in bigger cities, are just not available in Manitowoc.

On the other hand, there are a few fun things to do here. The best area of Manitowoc is probably when you get close to Lake Michigan. There are a few museums there that are worth checking out, such as the Wisconsin Maritime Museum. You'll also find a decent selection of restaurants and cafes. There's a lot of sports bars and grills too, in case you like to get out and watch some sports games with friends. If you don't mind a slower paced city, Manitowoc might be a good fit for you.
