[NJSBMWR] NY Motorcycle Show - who's going?

[William F. Dudley Jr.]

At breakfast on Saturday, several of us were talking about going to the
MC Show on Friday.

I've just researched the choices for mass transit (since nobody wants to 
drive up there).

Choice 1: Take the train from Long Branch to Penn Station, and then walk 
to lunch at a restaurant, and then to Javits, which show opens at 2PM.
The train leaves at 10:54 AM, and the trip lasts about 1:45, so we'd 
arrive Penn Station about 12:35.  It's 0.6 miles from Penn Station to
Javits.

Choice 2: Take the bus from Lakewood (or points north along Route 9) to
the Port Authority building.  As in choice 1, walk to lunch, and then to
the show.  The bus from the intersection of Rt 9 and Rt 526 to Port
Authority leaves about 11:04 AM and takes 1:41, arriving at Port 
Authority about 12:45.  It's 0.7 miles from Port Authority to Javits.

If it's more convenient, those of you living north of Lakewood can pick
up the same bus (the 139) at many places along Route 9.

Who's interested in going, and if so, what is your preferred way to go?

I vote for the bus, because to take the train, I have to drive for 45 
minutes to get to the train station.

Of course, we don't all have to go the same way; those living near Long 
Branch may choose the train, and we can take the bus with the "southern"
people.

I've already bought tickets for the show for Zhao and I, so we're going
regardless.
