He did, The Harlem Dinosaur is literally a block west of the Henry Hudson Parkway. That rig could park under the Elevated; there's enough clearance. | ||

The Newark, NJ location is good too, parking is a little better than Harlem, but all of them near NYC suck to park at, even for a car, I can't imagine where you'd put a big rig. At least the Troy and Connecticut locations have actual parking lots. I found a place in Westchester County that has good 'que, Memphis Maes in Croton on Hudson, right off Rt 9. http://www.memphismaes.com/ I go there when I don't feel like dealing with the city. | ||

l couldn't find any parking in Newark and after a half hour of trying I gave up. | ||

How is the Newark Dinosaur? I like the food at Syracuse, Harlem and Troy, but I was underwhelmed by the Buffalo location(the food was OK, but the restaurant itself felt a bit too contrived). So far, my favorite Dinosaur is the original location in Syracuse. | ||

Couldn't tell you... couldn't find any place to squeeze in my scooter to park on the street. There was some kind of affair going on such that the paid parking lots wanted RIDICULOUS money to park, even if just for an hour or two. Too many cops roaming around on foot, by car and on scooters to risk pulling up on the sidewalk too. I just headed towards the tunnel and back home after almost a half an hour of trying. | ||

So when and where is this happening? I need to make one of these lunch GTG's. The sooner I know the better so I can plan for the time off if its not on a Sunday. And I'm with Froggy, I don't care where as long as the food is good. | ||

Stamford is already a haul for me (2 1/2hrs) without traffic. Breakfast at the Toymaker's sounds good! | ||
| V1203 |
Harlem is really another 25min from Stamford so it shouldn't be too bad. Please don't go to far out, I'd like to attend if my front rotor arrives. Worst case the warped rotor is going back on! | ||

V1203....... I'm from southwest MA by E. Providence and Crusty is around your neck of the woods. It's worth the ride. | ||

Toymaker is only a 4 hour haul for me, stamford is over 5. I'm good with toymaker | ||

Damnut I'm out by Springfield. Where's crusty? | ||

Leominster area | ||

Where's crusty? Six months ago, I was in one of 44 States and a month ago, I was in Australia. Right now, I'm in Hudson, MA. One month from now, I'll be in Suches, Georgia. Two months after that, I think I'll be in California. I'm easy to spot, though; I'm standing right beside Waldo. | ||

Did I miss the date on this? | ||

No, Court. Right now we're looking at the second week of April to allow Crusty to join us. I guess we're still discussing the ultimate destination. | ||
| V1203 |
Great! I'm hoping my front rotor arrives this week. Receive a manufactur defects Galfer. So ready to ride! | ||
| Court |
>>>second week of April Got it . . .thanks. | ||
| Crusty |
I'll make it a point to be back in the Northeast by then so I can attend. Ride to Eat and Eat to Ride. | ||
| Jaimec |
Bump | ||
| V1203 |
Nudge! | ||
| Jaimec |
Crusty, give us a weekend and we'll figure out where... | ||
| Crusty |
I should be back on the 7th or 8th from Glitch Badness, so any weekend after that works for me. If you'd rather wait, I'll be around the Northeast until late May (Much longer if this Mortgage comes through and I buy a house.) So, to name a date; How about the 17th? It's a Sunday, which is more convenient for Damnut who works every other Saturday night. I'll let you guys pick out where. | ||
| Damnut |
Works for me. | ||
| Jaimec |
Sunday, April 17th it is, then. Only thing I see on my club calendar is a "Bike Blessing" which I can easily blow off, as I'm pretty sure it won't be Lord Cthulu providing the blessing... | ||

Keep me posted on this  | ||

Keep me posted on this. :-) | ||

17th April I can do. Toy Makers Cafe in CT? Or Stamford NY? | ||
| Jaimec |
The Dinosaur in Stamford has been our "traditional" meeting spot but the Toymaker's should be a good location as well. What does everyone think? If we don't hit one spot first, we've a whole riding season to hit the rest... | ||
| Crusty |
I suggest the Stamford, CT (not NY) Dinosaur for lunch. There's a high probability that it's going to be pretty cold early in the morning; by meeting for lunch, it may be warmer, and the ride less arduous for people who have to travel a ways. We can do the breakfast sometime in May, if you want. |
