Okay so a lot of people come to Manhattan College because they are attracted to the small class sizes, small college, good reputation, and off course they want to experience the New York City life! So what do students at MC do at night when they are bored and want to get away from everything, especially books? Well, a lot of people may not be aware of MC's nightlife because MC students have 10 o'clock curfew and they are not allowed to leave their premises past 10 o' clock and if they are caught outside of their buildings, they are suspended for few days. So basically, students just end up studying in their rooms, or they fall asleep pretty early. No wonder a lot of students sign up for 8 o'clock classes.
?Either that or students go to nearby clubs that are "hip and cool" now a days until their curfew times. So first on the list is Diceys. So the thing that makes Dicey's interesting is that it sends a "pick up van" to pick up students from their dorms for few bucks. How amazing! It picks up students and gives students the "cheesiest pick up lines" and advice on how to "pick up a guy or a gal." Well, it isn't surprising since Dicey's was named after "dice" and gambling. You see pick up lines are a gamble too, you never know when it is going to hit the right mark and when you are going to bump into your dream girl or a dream guy.
?So that being said, the second club on our list is the Tinkers. It is famous because the club manager of Tinkers makes it very convenient for students to enter the club with fake ids. In fact, it advertises these services to students outside of its competitive clubs. Another reason why Tinkers is so famous is because a lot of cops from the surrounding areas are very hesitant to go into the neighborhood since they don't want to deal with any of the problems or the chaos. So Tinker's owner named it Tinkers after the Disney's Tinker Bell. Can you imagine the students dressed up as fairies and getting away with almost anything at Tinkers?
