I'm only 30 minutes from the city! We should all meet up in Penn Station and then we find a nice little resteraunt to hang out, or we can think of something. And Bob I took the Path like a week ago it was fun. This might be weird but since I'm so close to the city you guys could probably come over to my house and we can hang out and we have a lot of space. Just go to Penn Station in Manhattan and take track 7 (the Babylon line) to Bellmore it's only like a 45 minute ride.
And also a lot of trains head over there (NJ transit, Path subway you can transfer to MTA and then take a subway from NY to 34 street. Oh and this person knows who they are, You can even take a train from Penn Station to Babylon get off in Babylon switch to the Montauk line and get off in your town.)
