Any later and the pub crawl might not start until 8...

Jock's usually at the Metro Cup when I've gone....

New website just came out, by the way:

Ill be driving out for the night is there parking nearby. Its been a long time since Iv been to Hoboken. I do remember Hoboken has a lot of resident only parking.

Keith, your best bet is to snag a spot at a parking garage. There's one on River Street that I use and it's about 3 1/2 to 4 blocks from Scotland Yard. It's reasonably priced and easy to get to. If you are coming from the Holland Tunnel, make your first possible right- that's Marin Blvd. Take that all the way out until it ends, make a right onto Observer Highway. Take Observer Highway one block past past Washington Ave. Make a quick left and then a quick right, now you're on River. Follow that down and it's on your right hand side.

You could always take your chances street parking, just be diligent about feeding the meter you shouldn't have a problem. Hey,you might get lucky and find a spot, I always did but that was when I went there on weeknights.

Thanks. I remember parking in Hoboken is harder then NYC. Im shore it will work out. See you on saturday.

**Dalmore** · 14th February 08, 08:45 AM

Yup, definitely harder. Frank Sinatra would be appalled. LOL

See ya saturday!

Looks like the weather is with us!

I'm planning on being out at Pipers Cove between 2 and 3 PM Saturday. If you want to join me for lunch and shopping, I'll be at the Harrison PATH station at approx. 2 PM and will wait 15 mins. or so before heading off.

I'm leaving Pipers Cove no later than 5 PM for the Hoboken Pub Crawl.

Let me know if you want to meet up.

I'm afraid that I won't be able to join you, guys. I'm trying to finish my latest book and I'm up against some serious deadlines. I've been busting my *** for about two weeks now trying to free up the weekend, but I'm not out of the woods and the editorial sharks are circling. So, until our next gathering, have a couple pints for me...
