I’ve lied to you already. The forecast high in Manhattan is now supposed to be 47, which is warmer than it gets in Antarctica even when the sun shines in summer.

My deepest apologies.

I had figured he’d make 3-4 B12 games before he got planted by a safety and ceased to be.

So TB I’m at KSU now, and was going to make a list of places Husker fans should hit while in Manhattan. So far I have thought of-
Coco Bolos in Aggieville. Great mexican food, and I hear margaritas (though I can long drink tequila) are great as well.

Gumby’s pizza in Aggieville. Most NU fans will not have experienced the drunk pizza food that is Gumby’s. You should only eat this while drunk though…

Willies/ The Pub Off of Seth Child west side of town. Sports bars, with lots of TV’s. The Pub sits underneath Willies. Both are smoke free (nothing is smoke free down here yet, not even the restaurants, so bring your smokes people) Willies has great food, even if you have to look at a picture of Crouch getting his facemask ripped off while eating. I also saw Bill Snyder in there once. I considered grabbing some ketchup painting a red “N” on his shirt and yelling Go Big Red!, but thought that might be rude. They also have hot wait staff.

Little Apple Brewery Not far from campus in Westloop center, off of Clafin, or Anderson. Sometimes great food, other times I have not been impressed. Some people love their beers, I’m not a fan.

Doe’s Eat Place Just off of Seth Child. Great steaks. their menu has steaks and that’s about it. They also have fresh fried potatoes, and fried biscuits, you know health food. I think it’s a chain down south, but I had never seen one until I moved to Manhattan. It’s pricey, but I think worth it. Also they cook your food once you order, so expect to wait some.

Other than that check out Aggieville for the bar scene. You can watch people via live web cam at Aggieville here-

You got anything to add?

Last year, I wrote a Guide to Manhattan post that I think would be helpful to any visiting fan. I’ll hit a few highlights below.

Gumby’s: I actually kind of like Gumby’s pizza, but it is better consumed as a hangover-prevention food. For another food choice when too much alcohol is involved, you may try Bob’s Diner on the east side of town. It’s a greasy spoon restaurant that has been helping hungover students for many years.

Willie’s/The Pub: Great job of including this place. I was introduced to it last year — I’ve been gone from Manhattan almost three years now — and it is a great place to get some food, watch a game, and have a pretty good beer selection. Love the smoke-free atmosphere, too.

Coco Bolo’s: You pretty much nailed it. If you like Sangria, you would be well-advised to try it here.

Don’t miss So Long Saloon while in Manhattan. In my opinion, it’s the best food in town. Small place, though, so it fills up quickly and gets very crowded. Waits can be long, so grab a few beers and have some patience. It’s worth it.

As for the bars, I recommend (in no particular order): Porter’s, Kite’s, Purple Pig, Tubby’s, O’Malley’s (for a Belfast), Rusty’s Next Door, and maybe that new Kat House place. As JLew mentioned, the smoking ban has not yet taken effect, but if you want to get away from the smoke, Porter’s has a front porch, Kite’s has a non-smoking wing now, and I believe Kat House is non-smoking.

If anyone has other questions about Manhattan, fire away.

Hey TB the link in your sigy, “Bring on the Cats” does not work. Page not found.

Anyway how do you think Prince will attack the NU secondary? Will he try and establish the run, or will it be bombs away from the get go? I’d just bomb away, KSU has no running game anyway.

Also what are the odds we see a fake field goal, or punt? What about a fake punt from their own 20 yard line again?
