SI or Brooklyn is like 1 1/2 too 2 plus hours for me.... if you don't want to go all the way up the the mall then lets meet in edgewater NJ. It's off the main drag and they have a starbucks that bring a few cuties. It's about 30-40 mins from me and probably the same for you duece. It is probably a central location for everyone.
Or if everyone agrees maybe we can meet up at Hooters on rt 17 in paramus NJ. It a suggestion if everyone agrees to meet up there.
