The Garden State Parkway exit... then up to Exit 135 on the Parkway (about
10 minutes north of the exit from the Turnpike).

Sounds good to me as long as all is ok here at the time.

I just mentioned this to Kevin and he said he thought we were going to
Harolds.

How would we get there from the NJ Turnpike or would we have to switch
to the G.S. in Woodbridge?

Are you talking about the place in Westfield? If that is the case it
would be great for Kevin.

Kate saw her name and read the post. I'm awake enough to see a
party. We 5, The 2 boys, Maddie and Mom are ready, name the date and
place and we'll be there. Mom said if there's chocolate be sure to
count her in.

That's not a good idea if you're coming from the south... it's a different
line. You'd have to take the train up to Newark and then switch to the
Westfield line and come back south. Too complicated. And too much doubling
back. Even coming from NYC it would requre 2 trains.

Theresa's in Westfield is better, but also more pricey. There's also a
brick oven pizza place that has other stuff as well. But Ferraro's could
work.
