Hey!

Anyone from Philly or the tri-state area? I would love to get together sometime!

I went to the PA forum and there were only two threads in there LOL.

Jeff, are you game?

I am, I am! I live in the Collegeville area, wouldn't mind getting together sometime.

My hubby who lived in Philly all of his life, until he moved to Texas in 2002 to marry me. He is asking that one of his fellow Philadelphians go to Pats and have a cheesesteak for him. He is homesick for his native foods...lol.

SUNTA!!! I am from Philly!!!! Live and work in the city!!!

Boy I did eat quite a few Pats and Genos Cheesesteaks in my life. Now maybe a bite or two! I was wondering who did your Lap in Philly? I went with Dr Noel Williams at HUP.

Mmmm mmm Pat's and Gino's... Mmmmmmm mmmm mmmmm cheese...steak... roll.....onions....ketchup.......mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

What were we talking about? Oh yeah! Philly people! Let's get together! DAA, where do you work? Center city? I work in Northern Liberties, two blocks north of Spring Garden. JulieK, Collegeville isn't too far, is it? How about we get together one of these nice spring weekends on a Saturday or Sunday? We can have a bandster meal somewhere. I like diners because they have a good selection of mushies which I'm still on. Although if we wait two weeks or so I wil be on solids. What do you guys think?

I work at the corner of 19th and Market. It would be great to get together sometime!!!

I used to live right outside of Philly, in Maple Shade, NJ. Oh how I miss good Italian food and cheesesteaks!! I hope you guys have fun meeting up for lunch.

I know Maple Shade, NJ!! I spend a lot of time at Cherry Hill Mall!!!! What a small world it is! You cant beat South Philly Italian Food and the Cheesesteaks! WHOOOOO!!!

Nope, Collegeville isn't too far at all - takes me about 45 minutes to get into the city barring the surekill (oops schukyll) expressway - LOL.

Would love to get together for lunch sometime. Don't know the city that well, so as long as you choose someplace easy to get to (or in the burbs - LOL) I will be there.

Cheesesteaks - bad, bad, bad! LOL!

How about Sunday April 16th for lunch? Ooooh I'll be on solids by then! I know lots of restaurants around the city. Any particular cuisine you all like? I like everything. There's a fabulous Vietnamese place on Washington Avenue with great parking. Or if we wanted to go more basic we could hit American Diner at 5th and Spring Garden. If we do that we should go a bit later because it gets crowded for breakfast. Let me know what sounds good...

Ugh, April 16th is Easter, so I won't be able to make that

Have a great time and let me know if you plan another one!

Ooooh whoops! Sorry about that everyone!!! That's a big whoops! Umm... Let me look at my calendar and find another date...

I know Maple Shade, NJ!! I spend a lot of time at Cherry Hill Mall!!!! What a small world it is! You cant beat South Philly Italian Food and the Cheesesteaks! WHOOOOO!!!

Yeah, I love that area. Had I not met my husband and moved to Louisiana, I would still be there. He loves the area (and cheesesteaks) too. But, you're right, you can't beat the food. Everyone raves about the food here in New Orleans but I just don't care for it. Give me a good eggplant rollatini or gnocci with pesto and a cannoli above anything, anytime!! My husband and I were just there visiting in late December/early January. I think we're due for another visit! :biggrin1:
