Dinner outing in New Jersey followed by Pictures

Hi All,

I must say - we all have a very good time when we hang out. I'd sure like to put together a dinner outing - likely in New Jersey since it seems like a very central location. I'm 45 minutes away (give or take) and I believe many of you are actually in Jersey already.

Why not pick a date one Saturday evening - and head out for dinner - and get some great pictures taken.

Doesn't matter when - but lets keep the concept open.

If no one is busy - we can just solidify a date now. I will likely be going to LA with my Israeli friend when he gets into town - but I don't know when that will be - nothing is booked as of yet.

Here - lets try pick a date and the details (restaurant, location, etc will follow).

June 27

July 4 is out.

July 11

July 18

July 25

August 1

August 8 is a no go for me - I have a wedding

Aug 15

Aug 22

Aug 29

I agree maybe the Jersey shore area. Highlands or something.
Dates, I am not a good one to start.

Totally works for me anywhere. I'm not picky (not with location, dinner, or anything).

Whatever everyone else wants will be great. We could do a delicious sea food place by the highlands, just a suggestion!

Sounds good to me. How will the "special guest" find out about it, though?

Well, Since I brought up the topic...

I can take charge but as I live in Brooklyn - I am not familiar with any restaurants out in Jersey in the highlands area.

Why don't we first pick a date. Thats most important. Food, photos, and drinks are secondary.

Anyone ready to solidify a date? I'm down for the end of June or possibly the 11th of July?

I'd second the 11th, assuming our financial statements are done for the quarter by that date, which I'd say is about 95% sure at this point.

June 27th's no good for me.

Maybe a stupid idea,but what about a drive-in. I realize the food wont be the best but its more of a car thing. Does anyone know of any drive-ins anywhere??

How romantic!

I was thinking more of seafood - and I know I said I was not too picky - so my vote is as follows:

July 11

Dinner = Seafood or whatever

Check out the website. Looks nice - especially at night! Would have a great time!

I would imagine there is a nice location to put the cars. Anyone been there before and can verify a spot?

Looks like a good place to me; decent amount of parking, from the pics. Never been there myself, though.
