Well it's that time of the month again. Here are the details for the March cruise, our first meet of Spring. This time we will focus on a nice smooth "slightly-over-speed-limit" drive down to Philadelphia to have what some locals would consider the best CheeseSteaks. I'll personally be ordering mine in the traditional "Whiz Wit." What about you guys?
This month, it is on March 21, 2009.
Time is 4:30PM.
The meeting location will be at Newport Centre Mall in Hudson County, NJ. They are located off Exit 14C on the NJ Turnpike near the entrance of the Holland Tunnel.
Their address is 30 Mall Drive West, 07310.
This is a decent-sized mall, so you guys can arrive early and go shopping, nibble at the food court, or catch a movie at their 11-theater AMC Cinema. It's also fine to just sit on the benches or take multiple elevator rides, whatever suits your liking. At least it'll be nice and warm inside.
Parking might be available on the blocks nearby, but I'd highly suggest their parking lot. It's only $2.00 for 1 hour, which is basically NYC meter pricing. $2.25 for 2 hours, $2.50 for 3 hours, $5.00 for 4 hours, and $10.00 for anything longer.

Leaving at around 5:00, we will "embark on a leisurely cruise."
Traffic should be clear, and not too bad otherwise.
Keep in mind that this is a caravan cruise. There will be no racing, and do not worry too much about being left behind.
Bring driving music.

We will end up at Steve's Prince of Steaks at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Their address is 2711 Comly Road, 19154.
We will be having dinner here. CheeseSteak prices are about the same everywhere, but this is a pretty well known local spot, and they won the award for best CheeseSteak in Philadelphia magazine for 2007. Check out their website for a menu.
This is also where the photoshoot will happen. There is also a Target nearby where we can take more pics if needed/wanted.
We might have a few people joining us who are familiar with the area. They might bring us to some fun spots.

On a warm and full stomach, we will once again "embark on a leisurely cruise."
Traffic should be clear, and not too bad otherwise.
Keep in mind that this is a caravan cruise. There will be no racing, and do not worry too much about being left behind.
I'm assuming that we'll all be traveling in the same general direction, but the destination of this cruise for most of us will be home.
Bring driving music.
