NJ Get together

BlueCowgirl · April 2012

Candie...Where are you located? We should find a location that works for everyone! In between all of us.

Unfortunately just found out I have to have (minor) surgery on the 4th. Still hoping to participate on the 6th, but may have to rely on someone else being the carpool driver...

BlueCowgirl · April 2012

Sorry, Candie, now I see from earlier post that you are in Caldwell. IMO, well worth the drive to a central place to meet all of you!

Anonymous · April 2012

How long would everyone be willing to drive? 30 mins max; 45 mins max; 1 hour max? Knowing that would give us an idea of where we might meet up. Offhand the Westfield area comes to mind as a near midpoint. North Plainfield might also be midway. Just have to find nice restaurant ideas.

judyfams · April 2012

I live in Ramsey and would love to be a part of the NJBCO get together.

Thanks for putting this all together!

Judy

bdavis · April 2012

It should be near a major roadway (turnpike or parkway)... IMO

Anonymous · April 2012

And we would love to have you. You are even more north than candie1971. How long are you willing to travel? Princeton and area ladies, how far will you drive? With Judy being in Ramsey looks like the Bernardsville area may be midway.

bdavis · April 2012

45 min at most I would say

Anonymous · April 2012

Westfield is off the Parkway. Bernardsville is accessible from 206/202, I think.

judyfams is the turnpike easily accessibld to Ramsey?

judyfams · April 2012

I would also be willing to travel 45 minutes to meet.

Judy

LizR · April 2012

I would love to join in! I also live in the Princeton area (Montgomery Township) and would be willing to drive. Please count me in! Liz

Anonymous · April 2012

I think the Westfield area will probably be the best as it's about 45-50 mins from north and south and right off the Parkway. What say you all?

Anonymous · April 2012

Yea LizR!

Just a reminder - we are talking about Sunday afternoon, May 6th.

Anonymous · April 2012

What kind of food? I would be willing to make a run up to the Westfield area this Sunday afternoon (or anywhere else if someone has an idea) to get names of restaurants that we can google.

S3K5 · April 2012

Hi,

I am from central NJ (Warren). I would love to join you all - seems like a great way to get to know online friends.

Please let me know the time and place for the meet, if it is okay for me to join you all.

Sandy.

Anonymous · April 2012

Of course it's okay. Westfield is also convenient to Warren. I'm getting excited.

S3K5 · April 2012

Thank you,Patoo.

rachelvk · April 2012

45 minutes is fine for me. I think I've been to the Bernardsville area. Not sure about Westfield, but that should be fine. Looks like it's just under an hour from me. Somerville has some great restaurants, but that might be a little far for people up north.

bdavis · April 2012

Some ideas... Vicki's Diner (open til 3pm), or even better IMO is mojave grill

http://www.mojavegrille.com/

bdavis · April 2012

or isabellas or Theresas

mojave's looks yummy! Theresa's is the sister restaurant so I think the menu is about the same.

BlueCowgirl · April 2012

Oh, please let me feel good on Sunday...And hoping to take someone up on their offers of carpool from Princeton area...

judyfams · April 2012

I would be willing to drive anybody from the northern NJ area on Sunday.

Judy

candie1971 · April 2012

how exciting!! Westfield would be fine for me...45 minutes is good. I am so excited about this. For those who know that area--pick a place and call asnd ask if they can accomadate a group...

thanks to all

hugs

bdavis · April 2012

mojave grille and theresa's are not open for lunch on Sunday, but Isabella's is...

I tried to post the menu, but it is too long and small... but they serve lunch and brunch, all looking very reasonably priced at about $13....

candie1971 · April 2012

Menu at Isabella's looks good. Would tak me about 40 minutes and that is good too. :O)

LizR · April 2012

Count me in! Anytime Sunday works for me! I am also willing to drive a carpool from the Montgomery (Princeton) NJ area (I am a few miles north of the Princeton Airport off Route 206). Thanks for organizing! Liz

LizR · April 2012

Darn, I just realized that I have a conflict next Sunday - my mom & I go to the Far Hills Rummage sale and it is next Sunday until about 3pm; maybe next time. Liz
