Jersey City Indian Food Meetup
posted December 8, 2011 7:38 PM RSS | iCal | +googleCal
Sat January 14 at 1:00 PM, Rasoi Restaurant
810 Newark Ave, Jersey City, NJ, USA (Map & Directions)
Today's NJ post reminded me that it has been nearly a year since the last JC meetup. Any MeFites interested in hitting the Rasoi on either January 14th or 15th? NYC folks who want to take a short PATH ride welcome!
Ooh! Yeah, that could work. There's a slim chance that I might be out of the country, but if not I'm there.

I'm in - the 14th being a Wednesday will conflict with the Brooklyn Weekly Meetups, so I'd vote for Thursday the 15th if we're going with a weeknight dinner.

*January* 14th is a Saturday, and the 15th is Sunday. The proposed meetup is for next month. :)

That said, which would people prefer, Saturday or Sunday? Afternoon or evening?

Oh wait. The 14th/15th of January 2012 is Saturday/Sunday. (oh yeah! must be looking at a Mayan calendar or something) Weekdays are doable, weekends less so.

Either day is good for me. Afternoon vs evening? I think the buffets close down at night most places and we'd be ordering from the menu instead. That said, I usually order from the menu rather than enjoying the buffets anyway so I've no particular preference.

Oops - it would seem that posting in the morning uncaffeinated is as risky as drunk-posting.

I'm not normally a local but I'm visiting family in JC until January 17th, so I'd love to come!

We were just talking this last week. I'd be interested in this.
Just a note: the weekend of the 14th is a holiday weekend: Martin Luther King Day is on the Monday.

I'll try to make it. I love indian food and I like a good excuse to head over to JC every once in a while.

You should do whatever you have to do make this go from proposed to upcoming, so that it looks a little more final.

I'd be interested in such a meetup, especially since it seems to be a holiday weekend. Plus, I'd like to try some Indian food. I'm in!

Sadly a thing has come up for me. Maybe we can do one of these on Oaktree Road in Edison one of these days.

For those of you coming in via the PATH from New York, you get off the train at Journal Square (the train icon in the blue square on the map above).
Go up all the escalators, and then once you are outside, go down the stair to your left. That will be JFK Blvd. Turn right, and walk four short blocks north on JFK until you reach Newark Ave. You want to cross to the other side of Newark, and then turn left and cross JFK. The Rasoi is about 1 block west down Newark, it will be on the right hand side of the street.

Despite chilly weather conditions and lack of a fully functional L train, I will be attending!
I might be late though since I've never done the PATH thing and I don't know how that shiz works.

Yay kkokkodalk! If you're taking the PATH from the WTC station, you'll get on the Newark train to Journal Square. If you're taking the PATH from the 33rd thru Christopher Street Line along 6th Ave there's just the one train on the weekend, with Journal Square via Hoboken, and Journal Square is the last stop.

Yea I'm totally going to be late. The shuttle bus situation was crap in Brooklyn but it was one of those halfway there, can't turn back situations. Anyway, save me a seat.
