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...)

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
)down to Philly, eat cheesesteaks with us and still be back by 11:00 for work.

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!

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.

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!
