Philly mid-week, in next month
 

As a follow up to the "Cheese steak war" thread in OMNI... some of us locals are thinking of doing a mid-week get-together for drinks, cheese steaks or what ever. As for meeting times, every fourth night starting with tomorrow, Wed 8/9 I'm unavailable, as I'm on call. So I'll let others suggest the dates/places. (Center city, Manayunk, etc...)

Mid-weeks are absolutely out for me under any circumstances. I cannot take time off from work for any out of town events unless it's an absolutely good reason.

So have fun and if you plan a weekend let me know.

Before 8/26 would be preferred, after that my schedules gets really hectic, but I could still probably take the R2 in Philly and meet you guys somewhere. Count me in as interested, depending on date.

Catman: You could take the 5:00 train (sorry, no FF miles, but maybe we could bribe you with UA or AA certs http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif)down to Philly, eat cheesesteaks with us and still be back by 11:00 for work. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I should be available any day as long as I can get two or three days advance notice.

Jay

chexfan is in. With the exception of next weekend (8/19-20) I am available to do whatever, whenever. Just a day or two's head notice is appreciated.

Manayunk, Cheesesteak tour, Center City... whatever! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I'm in, too. Would prefer a Tuesday or Thursday.

OK guys... How about this coming Tuesday (8/15) evening? Suggestions for drinks, cheese steaks and/or dinner?

I think Tuesday looks good for me. I'll know by Sunday what my definite schedule for next week is. How about Redding Terminal Market? I haven't been there myself, but everyone says the food there is an excellent sample of Philly cuisine.

I'll be in PHL a few times in the coming months, so I'll keep an eye on this thread and see if it fits any of my schedules.

I haven't seen this thread about cheesesteaks, but I visit omni board just a bit more than I fly Uzbekistan Airways.

I think the best place in Philly for cheesesteakes is Lee's Hogie House (or similar name, definitiely Lee's). It's in Wynnewood, conveniently close to those who live in that neck of the woods (JayBrian).

It's right next to the Wynnewood Theater (IIRC) which recently closed (IIRC!!), and next to a toy store. My memory is fading me, but Lancaster Avenue comes to mind.

mb-- Reading Terminal isn't open in the evenings...

bb-- let me know when you'll be in town. I'll be here until early Dec, except for the entire month of Oct, during which I'll be away.

I will be in Philly from 3/10-10/10

Say the word and where for tuesday and I will see you there.

I might be able to come up from Baltimore on occastion. I'll keep an eye on this thread. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Well since this started as the Cheesesteak thread, how about Pat's? (I've actually never have been there.) www.patskingofsteaks.com

Tuesday, Aug 15th @ 6:30 good for everyone? If there are any other suggestions for other places, please let them be known!

Just got back from "Philly" http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Can't yet say how I'll vote! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

burkey- just wanted to let you know that Tuesday is Randy's scheduled chat. Didn't know if you wanted to reschedule because of that.

Well... there's the chat at 10pm too! I'm in for cheesesteaks if it still goes down on tues!

I'm also interested, just let me know when and where.

Jeff

If I get out of work on time I'll be there.

Jay

OK -- the final plan... Pat's at 7 PM, Tue, Aug 15. That give everyone time to get there, and time to get home to catch the 10 PM Randy chat if you need to go to it. See you all there.

Chexfan will be there. But you realize this may necessitate a taste test with Geno's too! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

It looks like i'm going to be tied up all day Tuesday...If i manage to get off work early, I'll show up at Pat's at 7, but don't expect me. Sorry to have to miss this http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

I'll make it, Brent. It's getting to be an annual thing for us http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I'm not trying to incite a conga or anything, but your cheesesteak's on me (big sport I am). I still carry around the fond memories of our dinner with Shadow in Philly last year. Should be fun.

I will be there.


Jay

I'll be there. Should I assume that anyone else standing there looking for other people is a fellow FT'er?

We were busy eating our cheesesteaks but I managed to snap a picture or two from the Pat's King of Steaks FT Outing: http://chexfan.tripod.com/cheesesteak.html

Excellent! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif Makes me miss my old school daze! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
