Fall 07 for the 4th Annual Jersey Hot Dog Tour date TBA

Benzee

Hello all ,

Tentative plans are for our 4th Annual Jersey Hot Dog Tour on Sat Sept 15th , 2007 . With a second date of Sept 22nd in case Mr Fox is unable to make the 15th .
Plans are for a Motorcoach , once again and a a streamlined intinerary .

For those interested we will be also planning a Springtime meet to visit Hot Dog Emporiums in Orange County NY and Ulster in the Spring . Awaiting Coney Island Lous schedule to pick a date on that one .
We will most likely car pool on that one unless we get enough to justify the bus expense .

Happy New Year to all .
Listen to Coney Island Lou and Jaime the manager of Coney Island Restaurant on this friday Jan 5th Friday from 1 - 2 pm on www.wtbq.com as guests of the Prime Time Show with Uncle Buck , Dr. Tom and Benzee

Coney Island will be the starting point of the Spring meet and Jaime has greeted us with open arms with every mini meet held there .

Benzee

Hello all ,

Jaime of Coney Island Resturant in Middletown and Coney Island Lou were in studio guests on the Prime Time Radio show on www.wtbq.com yesterday .
We discussed the origin of coney dogs , the secret spices that are shipped to the place by the previous owners and the other diners owned by her father Johnny D .

We also discussed the spring meet that will start at Coney Island as Jaime has invited us with open arms , as usual .
CI Lou will be checking schedule and we will have a date soon . It will be on a Sat in either April or late March .

A few of the possible visits were mentioned and the next few weeks will allow myself to do some scouting and visiting with the owners .

Plenty of parking at Coney Island Resturant for carpooling or a mini bus .

If you are in the area stop by Coney Island in Middletown and have a Coney Chili Dog , you will not be dissapointed

The Bear

Hey screen bear ,

We are looking at a 20 passenger mini bus for this Hudson Valley tour .
I would of course love the limo idea , don't htink that would pass muster though .

Mini bus will cost $25 per person .
Not enough interest in the bus then we can carpool it .
Date to be finalized soon

Benzee

Hello all,

April 14th or 21 st for the Hudson Valley Hot Dog Tour

Any preferences

Benzee

Hello all ,

We have already been posting some comments about the 2007 Jersey Hot Dog Tour on the Hot Dog thread and figure its about time to move it here .
John is looking at possible intineraries .

Hudson Valley tour scheduled for a Sat in April .

Jersey Tour scheduled for a Sat in Sept .

Benzee

Hello all ,

Awaiting word on John and CI Lou on April 14th or 21st .
We will be driving our own cars and carpooling .
Tour will begin in Middletown at Coney Island Rest. around 1100 am and make its way over to Newburgh stops by 1200 or 1230 pm
Anyone interested let us know

Benzee

Hello all ,

I have opened a new thread for the Jersey Hot Dog Tour in Sept 2007
We will use this one for the Hudson Valley tour in April
Still need to finalize a date for April 14th or 21 st .
Any preferences ?

Benzee

Hello all ,

The Jersey Hot Dog Tour is set for Sat. Sept 15th

I'm still awaiting Coney Island Lou on whether April 14th or 21st works for him for the Hudson Valley Tour

We will carpool in April
We will once again have a 57 passenger motorcoach for the Jersey Dog Tour in Sept .
Intinerary will be set by John with some input from us all .
I have had some interest in out of area folks coming in for the Sept trip .
Flying into Newark would probably put you close to wherever we start .
We have had much success with Galloping Hill Inn with parking the past few years so I would lean on starting there again .

Benzee

Benzee,

Let me know as soon as possible the date of the Hudson Valley Tour. I'd really like to make this one and I'd have to put in for the day off.

John ,
Let me know what day works for you and we will make it a go .

Benzee

Hello all ,

We are looking at Sat April 14th . High Noon .

We will definetly be going to Worlds Best and Petes in Newburgh and possibly Newburgh Lunch after I check it out and get some feedback from its owners.
CI Lou and others can chime in if we want to add any others , like Weiners in Kingston .
No bus , we will carpool and I will have approx visit times to each place for those that would like to meet and greet at a specific hot dog emporium .
Looking forward to seeing everyone again .
