For those coming to NYC/NJ for the USC game

[Frozen]

Anybody interested in getting dinner and/or beverages in Manhattan on Friday 9/7?

Maybe...probably help if it is located near the train station that goes back to NJ for us staying by the stadium.

Yeah, I think we can find a restaurant or two in Midtown.

Bump.

Hey Frozen, with the number of us staying at the LaQuinta not sure we can all mass migrate over to the City, any chance of you coming over are way to grab dinner and drinks in NJ?

EDIT: I don't necessarily mind going to Secaucus (which I believe is where the hotel is) but since it's literally a 10-min train ride, wouldn't everybody rather have dinner in Manhattan than NJ?

I have no issue going into Manhattan, only issue maybe that people are coming in at different times throughout the day and maybe easier for everyone to meet up somewhere close to the hotel versus the city. But I would have no problem either way, I am sure we will discuss it with Mark.

Cool. I understand that there are logistics to consider. I just think it'd be a sin to be that close to Manhattan and stay in NJ.

Ya I agree especially for those of us like myself who dont get into or really go to NYC much. Perhaps you could meet us over by the hotel for a drink or two in the mid afternoon and then we could all go over that night for more drinks and dinner in the City.

I'll be working that day. I can't go out anywhere until after 5pm.

We were thinking of meeting up in Hoboken. Not really easy to get into Manhattan from Secaucus. SUBarney is more an expert on this than me, so hopefully he weighs in at some point.

Well, it's easy for me to say (because I will already be in Manhattan that day) but Secaucus to Manhattan is only ten minutes by NJ Transit train. I don't know how far it is from the hotel to the station, though. I'm sure we can work something out, either in NJ or NYC.

I looked at the map...the roads are friggin crazy around there. It looks like Secaucus Junction is like 2 miles away. I think we can stay on surface streets and park at the train station and hop over to Penn Station. The hotel is on the north side of 3 and we have to get over to the south side of 3 and drive to the parking lot. I think either midtown or Hoboken would work...isn't parking on Friday night in Hoboken going to suck too?

Parking in Hoboken sucks, 24/7/365.

I would suggest taking a taxi to Hoboken. It's about 20 minutes, I'm guessing. Otherwise, you'll need to take a 15-minute taxi ride to Secaucus Station, then catch a train into NY. I would never park in Hoboken. Fill up a taxi.

 

[cuseguy]

Everything will be at your doorstep in Hoboken. There's not much around Penn Station other than the same bars we often frequent during the BE tourney, etc. Just sayin.

Well, there's some decent Midtown Manhattan restaurants, delis, steakhouses. There'll be something good, regardless of price range.

I'll leave it to the NYC experts (I see pro and con to each)...Frozen can you get to Hoboken easily and back to Brooklyn without too much issue?

No sweat.

Good. No offense, Frozen. I vote for Hoboken. A lot of restaurants/bars in a close area. If we can get a number over the next few weeks, I can make reservations.

 

[Frozen]

Hoboken is fine with me.

 

[cuseguy]

I'll buy you a beer.

Who told you this?????

It's like the last stop on NJ Transit - for trains coming in from all directions - to NY Penn Station

In 9 minutes you can be in midtown Manhattan.

Our hotel isn't near the train station. We would need to take a taxi there (or pile people into cars, DUI?) and go to the station. I know where it is. Just easier to take a taxi over to Hoboken rather than taxi/train.

 

[Orangetradition44]

I noticed you never suggested a cab into manhattan... Is that just too expensive or too time consuming. Me and my Friends want to go into the city from the Laquinta, but we're unsure of the best way. I lost the stay in manhattan vote.

Thank for your help.
