We hope to see you there!

Aren't most of the places on the strip in Nashua capable of meeting most of the requirements here? Smokey Bones, Liu Liu's, Outback, Olive Garden, etc...

Just throwing out something different since I might actually be able to make this one.

[gadget]

If you have one that you would like to suggest, please do.

Also, remember that we like separate checks.

I suggest Tokyo Steakhouse in Nashua, NH for you guys.

[DucDave]

I think there are three suggestions on the table so far

1.) Super Wok in Londonderry, NH
2.) Lin Garden in Dracut, MA
3.) Chen Garden in Manchester, NH (has sushi too)

The requirements are:
can seat approximately 25 people (that is what we had last time)
be some what centrally located
affordable

it doesn't have to be Chinese but so far that has been the most successful since they usually have a large enough variety of dishes to satisfy everyone.

Please post your suggestions here.

After Christmas, I will put up a poll to see which is most popular and then call them to make sure they can take care of us.

I had lunch at Chen Garden yesterday. Excellent Sushi AND Chinese. Also, the Manager (Benny Chen) is a rider....has a Monster 1100 evo and an R6!

If we want to pursue this I'd get check that he can handle 20+....

Benny is a good friend of mine, his sushi is great. 25 people might overwhelm the place though.

Are you saying we shouldn't check with him and see? He's not a good friend of mine so I don't have a horse in this race!

[G21forme]

In! I'll vote for londonderry or manchester when the poll is up Sam.

In! I'm flexible with location and menu.

Have I mentioned, "I hate NESR winters ... just sayin'"

This date is clear on my schedule so far. I am good with anything in NH (Dracut is kinda far, but can probably make it if that's where it is)....If any of the above Chinese places have Karaoke, things could get crazy. Or we could always go legit-bowling again.

ETA: also OK with not-Chinese, but there's just something about watching Kenn and Greg split a scorpion bowl that makes my heart flutter. lol

Looks like this night is open on my calendar....no preference where - as long as the food is good

You guys should be looking at Wrights Chicken Farm in Harrisville, RI. It can take as many people as you want, is cheap, and good. And more centrally located to the NESR crowd.

RI is actually not terribly central t those in NH, ME, VT, or eastern MA. Which is most everyone.

[G21forme]

I'm not driving to RI just saying.

Sorry Didnt realize this was for northern NESR only. And from Eastern Ma its an hour away. From the NH line it is also an hour. From Newport RI, 1 hour. From Springfield Ma, you guessed it, 1 hour.

That is one of my go-to places when I pull into my buddy's driveway on the bike. Even being over an hour away, it's worth it.

Uggh. I grew up right by there. I hope to never see that place again.

If that area is somewhere that people are looking at, what about House Of Chan in Woonsocket http://chanseggrollsandjazz.com/? It's decent chinese and pretty cheap from what I can remember. They can also handle the crowd.

...uh, OK....

I'm with Greg! Back to Manch....

Perhaps, the folks south of Boston and the folks in western Mass would like to organize dinners.
The majority of the folks, that I put these together for, meet in NH for rides so that is where I look for places. These dinners are a way for us to keep in touch over the winter.

Anyone is certainly welcome to join us but North of Boston and East of Vermont is the target area for these dinners. I hesitated to make this a big deal since I do want everyone to feel welcome but at the same time I am trying to be realistic.

[Mike Qube]

How about a long drive for everyone and go to the crappy foxwoods buffet?

[Rosco61]

If you have one that you would like to suggest, please do.

Also, remember that we like separate checks.

I remember the separate checks debacle at Wolfeboro at lunch last summer.
I know that was a one time incident possibly...........

Everyone can pay their own admission to the buffet easily.

That WAS a one time incident. I've never seen anything like that before...or since.
