Hi, could somebody out there refresh my memory on the place chosen for the next Gangster BB dinner on 9/28?

I believe it's in Jersey City but can't locate the thread with the name of the restaurant.

Thanks,
Apple

Thanks, SC/DC.

So I'll assume Sept. 28th until I hear otherwise. Was there a designated time to meet? 6:00 maybe...???

Here are the directions if you need them:

It's right off Kennedy Boulevard, just north of Journal Square. Make a left on Newark Ave (There's a White Castle on the right when you are going south on Kennedy Boulevard).

The restaurant is about 100 feet up on Newark Ave after you turn. Valet parking just past the entrance.

So far it's you and me, DMC, SC, JG, SB and DS. Plus assorted husbands, wives, and girlfriends.

Still waiting to hear from TB on the date change.

Also, Just Lou, MaryCas and, apparently, Apple are possibilities.

Dammit...I know my way to Atlantic and Ocean City very well. You guys should try and go further south some time...not on a school night ofcourse.

Any particular reason you mention that date?

Not that it matters to me, I'll try to show up any evening that can be agreed upon.

But personally, since we'll be well into the school year by then...I would've preferred a Friday or Saturday. That way I could arrange for a sleepover for my daughter and not have to worry about the what-time-to-get-home factor.

Ce'la vie...!!!

How does one "sneak over" 5 states, just "for the evening"? I'm so curious. The furthest I've gone just for dinner and come back was Vegas.

I'm planning to be there. They're gearing up the garlic bread even as we post...

We're gonna need about 5-6 orders.

That could be a record for the place, since garlic bread is not on the menu, and only the cognoscenti know to order it.

If you're driving, it's more like about 5+ to where we'll be, Part.

But you can hop on the Continental Shuttle and be at Newark Airport (15 minutes from the restaurant) in less than an hour.

When you figure in about $75 for gas and tolls, it may be worth it to fly.

I'll even pick you up at the airport and drive you back after dinner.

TB - I got a plant to give you...hopefully it'll produce still this late in the season. But next year, don't worry, you won't need to buy thai peppers any more!

Edit: Okay, maybe you'd need like 50 plants... I've seen you go through a dozen peppers at one meal!

Just to show how old I am...I still don't know WHAT they're referring to (though I could probably make a pretty good guess).

But I was alway kind've ambiviant to that sort of stuff, anyway. Food is my friend. Long as there's enough garlic bread & wine for me, the rest of you can go through all the 'thai peppers' and 'Zig-Zag Straws' you want.
