PHILADELHPHIA GTG: Can you join us?!
 
Hi all. MomDDTravel will be in Philadelphia with her daughter in Oct., and we thought this would be a great opportunity to organize what (I believe) would be the first Philadelphila fodors get-together.

The date that works best for Dawn is Tues., Oct. 14 at dinnertime.

I have no idea where we should meet - I'm open for any suggestions. (Except I vote no to Pat's or Geno's :) )

MomDD is staying in center city, so somewhere around there would probably be best.

Any suggestions?

Who can join us?! I hope you can.

Why do I always notice these things AFTER I post?!!!

I really do know how to spell Philadelphia.

karens - I have been hoping y'all would someday do a Philly gtg. I have a conference in Atlantic City starting the 14th. I don't know when I'll go up or if I can get over to the city. (I will be in the city the 19th of Sept, bringing DS back to Drexel)

Possible meeting spots: Chinatown, the lounge at the Four Seasons...

Indeed, I think this is the first time anyone suggested a Philly GTG. You might post this also in the Lounge. ((*))

Birdie - I hope it works out that you could join us!

Jed - can you come? And thanks, I will post in the Lounge, too. Wasn't sure where the appropriate place to post this was.

I'll be away that week, but wanted to welcome MomDD (and her DD) to Philadelphia and suggest that y'all leave room to go to Naked Chocolate Cafe for dessert!

Imperial Inn is nice for a group; you can get the Imperial Feast and share around. (And you can sub to get the Walnut Shrimp, oh yeah!)

Amy thank you so much!

Karen - thank you for posting this! :-)

Karen - there are a number of posters in the area who are on facebook as well - I know one of them does not get here too often. I will send her an email.

Suki can you come??

Amy - I thought of you when I posted this. Naked Chocolate Co. is an excellent suggestion - I really like their hot chocolate.

Maybe we can eat near Rittenhouse Square and take a walk to Naked Chocolate for dessert? (Capogiro gelato would make another great dessert option....)

Karens whatever you experts decide works for me! :-)

Thank you for doing this.

How about burgers at Rouge? I haven't been so I don't know what it would be like for a group but if you went there you might tempt Thin to join you.

Jed Sep 3rd, 2008 09:11 AM

<Jed - can you come?>

Unfortunately, we're going to the theater (1812) that night. :'( ((*))

karens Sep 3rd, 2008 03:24 PM

Birdie - rogue sounds good, too!

Do you think Thin would honor us with his attendance?! :)
