NY/NJ Shopping Day and Pub Crawl

[BlkWater]

I am up for Pipers Cove and The Pub Crawl!

It sounds like a hell of a day is shaping up for Feb. 16th! I'm in, particularly if we are going to do both Kearny for shopping and Newark fer tha' pipes!

Chef,
The Path train is probably your best bet into Hoboken from NYC and vice versa. Hoboken station is literally a block away from Scotland Yard (sorta at a diagonal from the entrance of the station- can't miss it). The Path train from 33rd Street to Hoboken Station: $1.50 each way. It's probably best to take the LIRR into Penn Station and then walk over to the 33rd street Path stop and take that into Hoboken.[/QUOTE]

I tend to agree with the safari analogy. I'm interested in both the visit to Piper's Cove as well as a pub crawl but maybe we have two events here. Maybe a Pub Crawl one day and a visit to Piper's Cove and lunch on another date (not necessarily in that order)? Together it seems lie a very long day.

Brother Chef,
I am glad I am not the only one to think this would be a Long day that should be split into TWO events, that would be a logical choice.
As I recall the HOBOKEN Pub Crawl at Scotland Yard was postponed due to the Noreast storm.
Also so soon after the Christmas Holidays, I would think it might be easier on the sporran, for those of use expecting a Tax Refund if the shopping trip was scheduled closer to tax relief season March/ April?

:beer:
Finally for those that have been itching for a real Pub crawl, Saturday, FEB 16 is perfect, since many of us will have Monday, Feb 18 < Presidents day> off to recuperate!

Guys can we actually POLL
All those who want to take advantage of the LONG weekend to recoup after a long over due Pub crawl in HOBOKEN? And we can schedule the shopping trip with enough advance notice to budget and or use our Tax refunds for a shopping trip March/ April?

What time is the pub crawl going to start. I have to take my son to a birthday party in the early part of the day. Whats a long weekend, I have to be at work at 5:00 am on sunday. I can try to make it if the pub starts early.

Good points BlkWater, the original Hoboken Pub Crawl was cancelled due to weather.

I toss my hat in for the pub crawl (and Piper's Cove at a later date); I'm flexible as to what time we start.
