North Jersey-area GTG?

[mbcdefg]

I mentioned this in raangoli's desserts thread ... would anyone in Northern New Jersey and New York City be interested in holding a get-together? 

[justjen]

yes

[raangoli]

Count me in!

[justjen]

Obligatory note: I can be weird and awkward in person. Be prepared, people.

I feel like I've "known" you forever from way back from our Knot days... so not gonna lie, I'm super curious/excited to finally meet you!

I hope that doesn't come across as creepy.

You're just used to my brand of weird. I've innoculated you

Tritto ... I come across much better in writing than I do in person. 

I may require booze.

I feel so weird about it, but I would.  DH will flip, but eh. Hope you're not all skin-suiters.

Maybe we will just start a thread on the board and reply that way instead of talking to one another? lol

MH was like that but eventually got over it. 

He had a GTG with a couple guys from his craft beer message board. He said it was incredibly awkward because all the other guys could talk about was beer :/

So, everyone print out your budget for discussion, lol

Location ideas? Jersey City, Clifton, Newark? 

[jerseyjaybird]

Can a Central Jersey girl crash?

I like Clifton. Montclair or Morristown are other options that might be more central for people?

I like my life too much to travel to Newark ;-)

I am not too familiar with Newark, but I am good with the other suggestions. I love Morristown - they have a pita place there that has the most wonderful hummus. 

Now I will go dream of that and be sad I don't have it for lunch.

Awww, Newark isn't so bad. You must try these places:

www.tasteofportugalnj.com/ (get the Taste Coffee for dessert, it's full of liquor)

www.krugstavern.com/ (best burgers, plus awesome fried calamari)

Everyone else chime in on suggested cities, and I'll do a poll at some point where majority rules.

Please do! 

[justjen]

[msmerymac]

I'm interested in making it up there if I'm free.

[genet313]

Is Hoboken too much for people?

[Deleted]

I am down. Morristown is probably best for me but I try to get around.

justjen has been super sweet and not awkward when I met her but maybe its because Im awkward.

That's fine for me, but parking is a PITA. 

I'm pretty close to Montclair.

I agree that parking is a pain. But I am all for what the majority decides.

[mbcdefg]

OK, I added a poll
