Hi I'm from NJ

[Mermaid_Ariel]

I'm Northern NJ (Passaic County) near Wayne, I wouldn't be opposed to something in Central Jersey but Southern NJ would be out for me.

 

[JLKennedy]

I know I did this already, somewhere in this thread (I hope)...from Burlington County, Hainesport Twp. (between Mt. Holly & Mt. Laurel)

 

[JLKennedy]

I'm just afraid that will eliminate most of the Northern Disers....hmmmm
I think I need to take a count of who is interested and who is from where.

Okay me. Bergen County, whos next?

Well, we can break it into North (Devils fans) versus South (Flyer's fans)...or Giants & Eagles and meet.

How about Rangers fans?

I would definitely try to make it, too, so count me in!

What does everyone think about Morris County?
Millburn or maybe Joes's in the Shorts Hills mall there are a bunch of restaurants........

hey, I'm soooo there!!! but i think thats essex co.- but thats ok!

I think it might be too North for us Burlington County & South. Burlington Co. is the biggest county in NJ and I'd guess that anything north of Monmouth County, would be too long of a drive for us.

With that in mind, any "south" jerseyians want to meet up somewhere a bit closer to home?

 

[zippy doo dah]

I'd consider meeting up, but being in Toms River, pretty much anything north of Monmouth county would be too much of a drive for me especially with the cost of gas and all.

Just found this thread too, from Sewell, NJ. - Washington Twp.

Hello fellow New Jersey Diser's

Hi we're in Mantua.

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Well ok so we are split...How about one at McLoone's In Sea Brite the other at Joe's Bar & Grill in the Short Hills Mall.

Now onto dates....

Sorry guys my sense of the state is off because the entire state is my territory for work so I do forget the driving issue....

Hi from Lumberton, we're just next door!

 

[T. Bear]

Cape May here... Hello my fellow Jersians.

 

[JLKennedy]

Hi from Lumberton, we're just next door!

Howdy neighbor! I've been in this area all my life (except when we lived in GA). Did you grow up here?

So, for those of us that consider anything north of Monmouth County (Freehold/Jackson area) too far to travel, any thoughts on us meeting? Olga's, Ponzio's, Adelphia's? In the city?????

How about a bit farther south? Mastori's at RT. 130 & RT. 206??? Great food!

"Great food" is a bit of an understatement... that food is AMAZING. They also specialize/cater to large groups.

As a point of reference, Mastoris Diner is about 40-45 minutes South of Exit 11 on the NJ Turnpike. It's also probably 40-45 minutes from the Commodore Barry Bridge, so it would be "Central" for anyone from Glouster County on up through Union County.

If the crowd is predominantly from North Jersey, I'd suggest Fuddruckers on Rt. 22 in Somerset. I used to meet with a bunch of car guys there and they have a good layout for large groups as well.

Hope this helps!
Chris

You are right, they are amazing. I love their cheese bread...OMG! I'd meet up with anyone there, hubby would just go farther down the road to Harry's or the Sportsmen's Center. I think anything north of that, is too far for me to drive, so if anyone wants to set up and eat at Mastoris, just say the word.

It is a "diner", but not in the sense of the word. Probably serve one of the BEST prime ribs in the entire state, and fuh-get-about-it, you ain't touchin' their cinnamon or cheese bread!

 

[Ms.Tom-Morrow25]

Hi Everyone!!! I'm from Iselin. . .I'm sure hardly anyone has heard of it!! LOL!!!

 

[DanceRC28]

Welcome....this place is almost as addictive as WDW itself

 

[camack7827]

You are right, they are amazing. I love their cheese bread...OMG!

'nuff said... I'm raising both hands for Mastoris Diner.

For anyone in the area, the new sports bar next door "Alstarz" is owned by the same people and it's also a great place. If you are familliar with Champps, this is a step up in both atmosphere and food. If you go, order their Crab Rangoon... it'll make you forget about the cheese bread.

P.S. Not affiliated in anyway, just a huge fan!

 

[Ms.Tom-Morrow25]

Thought this would fit in well here, LOL



You know you're from Jersey when . . ..

You don't think of fruit when people mention "The Oranges."
You know that it's called Great Adventure, not Six Flags.
A good, quick breakfast is a hard roll with butter.
You've known the way to Seaside Heights since you were seven.
You've eaten at a diner, when you were stoned
or drunk, at 3 A.M.
You know that the state isn't one big oil refinery.
At least three people in your family still love Bruce Springsteen, and you know the town Jon Bon Jovi is from.
You know what a "jug handle" is.
You know that WaWa is a convenience store.
You know that the state isn't all farmland.
You know that there are no "beaches" in New Jersey- there's the shore--and you don't go "to the shore," you go "down the shore." And when you are there, you're not "at the shore"; you are "down the shore."
You know how to properly negotiate a circle.
You knew that the last sentence had to do with driving.
You know that this is the only "New" state that doesn't require "New" to identify it (try . . . Mexico . York Hampshire-- doesn't work, does it?).
You know that a "White Castle" is the name of BOTH
a fast food chain AND a fast food sandwich.
You consider putting mayo on a corned beef sandwich a sacrilege.
You don't think "What exit?" is very funny.
You know that people from the 609 area code are
"a little different." Yes they are!
You know that no respectable New Jerseyan goes to
Princeton - that's for out-of-staters.
The Jets-Giants game has started fights at your school or local bar.
You live within 20 minutes of at least three different malls.
You refer to all highways and interstates by their numbers.
Every year you have at least one kid in your class named Tony.
You know the location of every clip shown in the
Sopranos opening credits.
You've gotten on the wrong highway trying to get
out of the mall.
You know that people from North Jersey go to Seaside Heights, and people from Central Jersey go to Belmar, and people from South Jersey go to Wildwood.
It can be no other way.
You weren't raised in New Jersey -- you were raised in either North Jersey, Central Jersey or South Jersey. You don't consider Newark or Camden to actually be part of the state.
You remember the stores Korvette's, Two Guys, Rickel's, Channel, Bamberger's and Orbach's.
You also remember Palisades Amusement Park.
You've had a boardwalk cheese steak and vinegar fries.
You start planning for Memorial Day weekend in February.
And finally . . ..
You've NEVER, NEVER NEVER, EVER pumped your own gas

You forgot to mention. . .you know you're from New Jersey when you need two jobs just to pay your car insurance!!
