A trendy neighborhood in NW philadelphia, located along the banks of the Schuykill River.
In the 1980s, Manayunk was infested with blue collar white trash who suffered from the decline of manufacturing jobs. It also had many empty storefronts along Main Street, its primary commercial street.
In the 1990s, Manayunk's rebirth and gentrification could be attributed to the opening of several upscale restaurants on Main Street. These restaurants were backed by developers who promoted Manayunk as a place to visit. Manayunk retained its small-town charm with its small 2 and 3-story rowhomes, cobblestone paving, and hilly streets. Many people who visited decided to stay and renovate the small rowhomes characteristic of the area. They also chased the remnants of the old mill worker whitetrash up the hill into Roxborough thus completeing the yuppie conquest of the yunk! Demand for housing in the area has lead to the converting of the former mills into loft apartments, and upscale shops started replacing the empty storefronts and trashy mom-and-pop stores. In 2004, a new condominium tower was built on part of Venice Island, and in 2005 there are plans to build more condominium towers to replace the closed soap and paper factories.

Wow manayunk has changed, nice restaurants, bars, stores, and best of all the people here actually have teeth unlike the inhabitants in the 80's.

Get the Manayunk mug.the large amount of semen left on a bar skank after the man has pulled out and ejaculated all over her back or chest. this semen is then rubbed into the skin while attempting to wipe it off; thus leaving a moisturized feeling
brotato: Hey man, did you end up slaying that River Rat last night?
bro: Yeah dude. She came back to my place and I gave her some Manayunk moisturizer on her back after I fucked her from behind.
brotato: haha. skank!
