    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...

    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!

    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.

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

    Thanks for putting this all together!

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

    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.

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

    judyfams is the turnpike easily accessibld to Ramsey?

    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?

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

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

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

    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....

    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

    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
