On Saturday, we Skywatchers will be driving up to Massachusetts and will be in the City of Brotherly Love for lunch. My SO loves cheesesteaks so we’ll stop at one of the famous places on Passayunk, probably Pat’s because it’s on the same side of the street we’ll be on.
Anyone want to join us?
[whine]Pat’s and Geno’s? Who wants to go to South Philly?[/whine]
How 'bout Reading Market instead?
What time?
careful readers will note that these are all in the form of questions – no commitment is made or implied.
Seriously – some aficianados swear by D’Allesandro’s in Roxborough – which, by a delightful coincidence, is a mile or so from me. Reasonably easily reached from Rte. 76.
We can do that next time. 
“Next time” being the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
We should be in Phily around 11:30-noon.
Seems I’m not generating much interest.
Well, should any Dopers be around Pat’s at, say, 11:45 on Saturday, look for a silver Chevy Venture minivan with a dent in the liftgate. That’s probably us.
Yeah, sorry, Saturday is supposed to be rainy and unpleasant – I’m gonna stay home and hang out with my cyberpals online, where they belong … 
I am overdue for a doper fest – never been. Unfortunately, I don’t feel like dealing with Ernesto on Saturday.
Right–Ernesto. Any areas prone to flooding that we should avoid? We’re coming up 95.
south jersey floods a lot. esp. near the cooper river. phila. does fairly except near the wiss. and schylkill.
i’ll be working on sat. haven’t been to the famous pat’s or gino’s.
Unfortunately, I’ll be at work.
I see from weather.com that the bulk of the rain shifted from today to early tomorrow. We might be sticking to the Turnpike and eat at a service plaza instead.

A caring Doper might pick up a fistful of cheesesteaks and arrange a rendes vous out at Exit 6 on the NJ Tpke…
