Things to Do in Manhattan During the Summer

[DQ12]

Planning on going to the pool a bunch.  Maybe the zoo.  Class starts in a couple weeks.

I'm planning on going out to Stampede.

Basically, I'm in Manhattan all summer with some bros.  Everything I've ever wanted, but there's just not a whole lot to do besides drink.

Any ideas?

Uh, so?

Your first mistake is deciding to go to Stampede.


Take up mountain biking. There are some cool trails around the area.
Hang out at Pillsbury
Get a boat and hang out at Tuttle
UC pool is fun
Get some friends together, claim you're step brothers and get a family membership at Wildcat Creek for $30/month

Never been, don't have tickets or anything yet, but I don't know.  It's like the one weekend where Manhattan has a bunch of people in it during the summer. 

Good info otherwise.

drinking, doing nothing and going to class will easily fill up a whole summer.

I mean, I don't know where you're from so I don't know what kind of people you like or what music you're into.

In my eyes, Stampede is a music festival that plays the worst music and is made up of the worst people. Rednecks from all over Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Kansas flock to Tuttle Creek. It's the only time I've ever seen a woman with a dip in her mouth (and it's not just one woman). I'm sure some people can have fun at it but most Manhattanites I know dread the weekend that Stampede is here.

waks, you are so elite it intimidates me.  

we totally needed to chill in the peninsula.

Stampede is awsome, haven't been since the first two but had a blast met some skanks from Hays and went skinny dipping in tuddle puddle.  Camped for the whole event a good time was had by all. 

I'm with Daris on this though doing nothing will take a lot of your time so you should be good there.

Work, school, and drink

[kougar24]

Loved Manhattan in the summer. Loved.

[ew2x4]

How about you go to Coco Bolos and not have to wait for a table?

[steve dave]

Yeah, Manhattan summers are dreamy 

[KITNfury]

Hate country, but went to the stampede one night when you didn't need a ticket to go to the campgrounds. It was awesome.

Play the Colbert Hills par 3 course.  Used to be $6 for 9, or $9 for all you could play.  LOVED it.

Summer is my fav time in Manhattan.

You realize you can do stuff like this without subjecting yourself to the Stampede right?  $!#*'ry Stampeed is horrible.  Then again if you like that kind of music then it will be enjoyable. 

Manhattan in the summer is amazing.  There's the pool, hanging out at the lake, I had a sweet mountain bike (before it got stolen  ), little or no waiting time to go to restaurants, hot waitresses hang out at your table and chat 'cause they're kinda bored, etc......

this was pretty much my daily routine every summer but include going to class and aggieville.
summertime in the ville is for pounding babes you otherwise wouldn't have pounded (both good and bad ones) and boozing.

also add to the list:  ice bros

[BigCat]

Don't forget hanging out on the patio at Little Grill drinking rum. That should happen daily.

[yoga-like_abana]

I'd add in taking some UFM classes, pretty fun. Golf, softball, rent a poontoon boat, jet skis,etc.

I've never been there.  Always considered the place kind of  :powerespect:.  I'll have to give it a try though.

I've never seen Fitz in there if that's what you mean. It's not a place to go meet people really, just a place to escape the bros.

it's kind of starting to get that way for me. jumped the shark and stuff.

[raquetcat]

-Hang out at city park playing tennis and baseball   

-drive around on anderson/bluemont and not stop at any lights because there's no traffic 

-sit on the patio of salty rim and  (amazing back patio btw, there and porters)

-play yard drinking games   

If these don't keep you busy all summer you're doing something wrong

I saw a dude on a bike get hit by a car in a rain storm on Juliette during one summer night in manhattan.  It was weird.
