18th Annual Illini Pub Crawl

This year, we'll be checking out a few of the watering holes in Hell's Kitchen. The Illini will take on the Cornhuskers at 9:00pm, so we'll we watching the game during the festivities.

Come join a Metro NY Illini Club tradition.  It's a great opportunity to meet fellow alumni in a relaxed atmosphere.

Hell's Kitchen has changed a lot since our last Pub Crawl there, which we think was around 2000 or 2001. Even it's name has changed (although no true New Yorker would ever call it "Clinton").  Some of the bars we visited before are still there, but there are a lot of new ones, too!   

We will start at 5:00pm and visit five pubs, spending an hour at each one except the last, where we'll stay for the duration of the Illini vs. Nebraska game - our first Big Ten game of the season.  And for those who are still capable, we'll be playing Flip Cup there as well!!

Here's the schedule:

5:00pm: The Jolly Monk, 701 9th Avenue, @ 48th St. (http://www.jollymonknyc.com/)
