I've been in New Jersey car clubs that met at big car shows as far away as Ocean City, Maryland and even got a participation award.

Many people do travel out of state to other events. However, this monthly meet rotates between South, Central, and North Jersey, and September is North's month, hence the comment.

what would be the most center spot in north jersey so everyone roughly has to drive the same distance?? Im in like north/central (1 min from the 78-24 merge) so i don't really give a ****.
I just need to come to a meet on a day im not working because i work ALL THE TIME and my hours are 3p-11p.
I think colorado cafe has car shows on their front lawn and parking lot on thursdays....but i haven't been there in a year with my car.

Just a thought
yo, what about meeting at a nice park and then all taking a ride to a restaurant or BAR. I think that would be pretty cool. A meet then drive, with all our f bodies lined up would be pretty fun. Not sure where we can meet, maybe Verona park or if you guys know of any nice parks with big parking lots. I'm in morris county, west side, so not sure if people want to come this way, but I know some places we can meet here.

Tim - I think Wayne looks like a central spot. Of course those far out west will disagree, but its centralized for the majority of North Jersey people.
I personally liked Bennegins, but if you get a place somewhere on the Rt 46 corridor, it will be a lot easier to get to for those coming from further distances since Rt 80 is a stone's throw away.
Maybe TGI Friday's at Willowbrook mall? There's an Applebee's on Rt 46 west in Totowa?(right next to wayne). There are more restaurants on rt 46 & even 23 North but I'm thinking about the size of the parking lots. Friday's & Applebee's have the biggest lots, + they have the most amount of traffic passing buy.
Any other suggestions?

The only bad thing about having a meet at Willowbrook is - besides TGI Friday's, no other eating establishments have window view of the parking lot. Personally, I'd like to be able to keep an eye on the cars while we're inside, especially since their parking lot isn't the safest.
Wayne is a good location, how about a restaurant with it's own parking lot, like Casey OToole's on Hamburg Tpk, or somewhere on Rt. 46? Any other thoughts?

there's also Jose Tejas in Fairfield, which has a HUGE parking lot.
houlihan's is OK, doesn't have a great view of the parking lot though.

I'd say the Macaroni Grill or Lone Star Steakhouse in Netcong. Very good food  Plus, its right in the center of the entire north

Casey's would be cool. The fact that they have their own lot is a plus, yet they don't really have windows in the place  Not a fan of Willowbrook because of all the thefts.

Would these places be near Rt. 46? That would make finding them pretty easy. I would be cool with either of these.
