O ur memories of Manhattan- ville would not be complete without mention of some of our off-campus hangouts. The search for edible food is per¬ haps one of our greatest quests. Whenever the Flik cuisine becomes too much to bear, McDonald’s, Food Emporium, and the White Plains Diner always save us. On our mid¬ night runs we break our diets and our piggybanks, but gain a better appre¬ ciation for mom’s meatloaf. Our nightlife is diverse and often leads to many exciting moments. No Thursday is complete without a trip to the local hotspots: Branch Hill, Greenjean’s, Cobblestone’s, Mug and Ale, The Beat, Garbo’s or Confetti’s for a drink and a turn on the dance floor. We piled ourselves in someone’s car, and many an establishment saw a Manhattanville crowd. Wherever we went we left an impression and left with a hangover. But more often than not, we also came away with one of those magic moments: a private joke, a new relationship or a new realiza¬ tion. Kathy Palagonia 27

A Place Where Everyone W e know the small room with black walls, folding tables and chairs, and a few bar stools quite well. This room, equipped with only a small mirrored dance floor, plastic plants, and a few games like Asteroids and Fooz-ball, has managed to become one of our favor¬ ite places on campus. What are we searching for, and what have we found here? The Pub has seen it all. It has seen the craziness of crowded Thursday Nights, dancing on tables, and even on the bar, in years gone by. It has seen quieter times like Monday Night Football when you came in for a quick beer, for some conversation, and to take a chance on the game. It has seen Happy Hour on Friday afternoons when you came in at the end of a tough week or hard practice to begin the weekend and to mingle with friends and faculty. It has been the place where many relationships have begun and ended. Remember sitting outside on the stone wall or in the back room for that quiet talk with your best friend or new interest? Remember wishing the Pub was bigger because you were trying to avoid someone? Remember spotting “that person” from across the room and keeping a careful, inconspicuous watch out of the corner of your eye! The small room with black walls has served an important purpose in our lives. We shared something here whether it was dancing crazily to fa¬ vorites like “Shout”, playing Fooz- ball or just enjoying being in a place where everyone knows your name. It has been the place to get away from it all, yet also the place to find it all. Jacqueline Clements 28
