It all makes sense, it really does...

Jersey is all right...

You find that most the guys who complain about it spend their time in a crash pad in areas surrounding Newark. And most of the guys come from...let's call it a slightly different geographic/cultural area. It's easy to feel intimidated because they're out of their comfort zone. No there isn't an Applebee's, Chili's, Starbuck's and Wallmart on every corner but much more local flavor...For instance in Elizabeth there's a nice Spanish (Spain) bar/restaurant and I also remember a cool Uruguayan breakfast-lunch cafe.

The Jersey shore is a great getaway from May through September...Again, it's a little different crowd than what one might be accustomed to in middle America, but besides that it's a great place with people going there to relax for over 100 years. Unique boardwalk businesses, great food etc....

I could go on but I gotta get a haircut..

:yeahthat: There are some nice restaurants in the downtown EWR area near Penn Station. Most guys just sit in their crashpad, I assume, and don't investigate the surrounding area.
The Jersey Shore is a great place to be in the summer -- maybe there should be a JC M&G there?! :nana2:

That's a great idea. I will be in town for a long weekend towards the end of July. Anyone else up for it? We could have a seaside heights M&G. I'll grow out my mullet.
 
I served 9 months in EWR, XJT CA reserve.:D The one thing I miss is the controllers, always had a sense of humor and could line em up like Rockettes any day of the week.

The hilarity NEVER stops with Newark controllers. Thank Goodness you'll still be able to fly in there every once in a while eh? :)

Just did last week!:) Soooo familiar crossing Williamsport at FL190(pressure was a little LOW that night), then vectors around for GRITY at 3000ft and ILS 4R. It was weird taxing to Terminal B. The only time those guys aren't friendly is when people don't listen.:)

You're not referring to Valenca's on Monroe Ave. are you? Steak on a Stone is an absolutely beautiful thing! I'm thinking of parting with my $21.99 as we speak.

I know . . . Newark is the only airport in America with an "S" rather than a "K" in front of the airport identifier.:D (SEWR)

Ah, you're just jealous since you're not part of the "in" crowd these days at EWR! :p :D ;)
I don't know if EWR is ready for Seggy, though. Time will tell! :)

Haha....
OK, Dale...you're welcome to visit EWR any time!
Speaking of EWR, I'm off right now for my afternoon flights with an overnight in fabulous BWI!
