Driving from NYC to Philly at 4pm for this. Should make it in plenty of time, right?

I'm leaving from Stamford early. Checking into hotel I hope by 3. Going the Jersey Turnpike is a crap shoot. I've made it to Philly in 2 hours and I have made it in 5.
You should be fine but I would try to leave earlier just for a little cushion. It's not like you can get there too early :giggle:

Eh, for the show? Yeah, you should be good. For some pre-gaming, not sure. From NYC it's about a 90 minute trip without traffic, figure two hour for normal traffic, then you're talking rush hour times.....I dunno....I could see this end up taking 2 1/2, 3 even....Waze app is your friend.

Okay thanks. I won't be able to tailgate for this one unfortunately.

I may head out earlier than 4 if need be.

Give yourself a solid 3 hrs to get there bro. NJTP sucks at exits 7A and 4

Can anyone recommend a nice restaurant for Saturday night? On the romantic side would be preferred - I owe my wife for going to B2B shows with me on Thursday & Friday.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

How nice (expensive), and where about in the city are you staying?

I'd say a BYO, since Philly is king of them - but you'd probably want to look up any of these restaurants (off the top of my head) on OpenTable now to land a res for 4 weeks from now: Laurel (probably totally booked by now), Will, Noord, Townsend (not BYO), Fond (only BYO on certain nights), Pumpkin, Mercato, Little Fish, Zahav (not BYO), Giorgio on Pine, Bibou, All solid choices, and should be nice enough.

We're staying on Intrepid Ave, on the other side of the highway from the Sports Complex.

I will be driving, so location isn't a major problem as long as it's in Philly (although I would prefer not head into any sketchy neighborhoods considering I'm not familiar with the area).

The wife doesn't drink much, and I'll probably have had my fill at the two shows, so the whole BYO issue isn't really an issue at all.

As far as how nice, I wouldn't want to spend any more than $30 / entrée....... nice, but not Capital Grill nice, you know?

If you know of any nice Italian restaurants / steak houses off the top of your head, the help is much appreciated.

Thanks for the other suggestions, I will look into them.

Hmm, other side of the highway? Are you staying down at the Navy Yard?

South Philly and Italian is pretty synonymous - good choices off the top of my head... Ristorante Pesto, Mr. Martino's Trattoria, Gennaro's (awesome pizza, too). Dante & Luigi's, Ralph's, Brigantessa.

Yes, we're staying at the Fairfield Inn Navy yard.

Thanks for the tips, I'll look some of these up online & see what works.

Much appreciated!

Anyone plan on hitting up PJ Whelihan's inside Wells Fargo before the doors open?

If you do go there, avoid the Copper Lager (PJ Whelihan's beer) its always watered down at wells fargo. On a side note, I'm pretty sure I can see myself in your picture...philly 10-21-13?

Are you the guy on the far right, long hair?

So I think my buddy is the one with the cell phone right in the middle, I think I'm behind the guy to the right of him. Bright red shirt with Homer Simpson on it but you can't see that in the pic. Eddie poured wine in my mouth at one point...still haven't found that video though haha

I remember you from night one. You were hammered on that rail!!
