Adventurist.. from 1-80, the GWB might be easiest. From there you could take the West Side Highway down to anypoint in Manhattan and cut your way across. If you wanted to take the Lincoln, get off at Rt 3, and follow the signs. As for the Holland.. you'd take Rt. 1/9, from Rt. 3.

Adventurist...you DORK! You told me it was this Friday, but if I am reading here correctly, the gathering is actually March 7th?

Can't make it then. :(

Artex is on the money about how to come in. I would recommend the Lincoln Tunnel. Only detail he left out was when you get off rte 80, you get off at exit 53 (which is rte 46). Take 46 for 4.5 miles approx. and then you get onto rtre 3 east. This will take you straight into the Lincoln Tunnel. When you get out, head west to West Street (it's in the direction of the Hudson River - Go west till your hat floats j/k). The turn left heading downtown (street #'s are going down). Look for pier 59 at West 18th Street. It's right there.

Bring this back to the top
Send Artex off in a fun way
"Ok boys and girls I found the greatest place!!
it has everything you could want in a bar.


http://www.chelseabrewingco.com/">Chelse Brewery

it is easy to get to, plenty of parking, right off the highway, yet close to all trains. anyone needing a ride from train or bus place let me know so i can arrange for someone to be there to pick you up. The pub opens up at 9:00pm which I think it the best time for everyone to meet up with. remeber some people are coming in to the city after work from PA and NJ so we need to give them some drive time. People wanting to get there early can have dinner while waiting for others to show up."

Looking forward to this most expedalioshusly! And eagerly, too.

Sending Artex back to hog heaven.

He'll miss that walrus and its French tickler though.

Maybe he can find a nice manatee.

Or take a walk on the wild side with a gator (hint: does not look like a gaiter).

That's a thought. What time are you planning on leaving and which way will you be going?

I didn't know you were going so I'll make sure to get you your snow stakes one way or another.
