- Thread starter Reppin_Jerz
- Start date
Who're you kidding? I know everybody here and nobody grew up anywhere. Except maybe some of the ladies.
I'm in Hamilton, definitely central NJ, welcome and be productive!!
welcome to the board.
regarding Morris County: feel free to hit up Poor Herbie's in Madison for away game-watch for any Rutgers sports... I wouldn't call it a Rutgers bar, but it's on the train line, and more often than not you can find a Rutgers fan like Jersey Jay or myself...

No reason there isn't a designated RU alumni club bar in Mo'Town! Start it up Corner!
The greater morris county area does really need an official go-to Rutgers bar.
And don't get me started on Miami Mike's. Does not count. they practically have a friggin Penn State room. not a Rutgers bar. period.
Criteria:
1) Easy to get there (on the Morris & Essex train line, for example)
2) medium size, neighborhood feel (not a chain restaurant or a fancy-schmancy place)
3) friendly regular/local staff (not high school kids)
4) lots of TVs, volume on for game days
Poor Herbie's doesn't meet all the criteria, but it meets some.
other candidates that are great places to eat/drink, but fall short of sports bar criteria: Billy & Madeline's Red Room in Whippany, Charlie's Aunt in Chatham.

Millies?!
Millies Meatballs is not a pizza place. That is a fancy shmancy wood and coal fired pizza place.

Unfortunately Sebastian's across from the Morristown train station burned. Most people are not aware, but that place was ready for soft opening as a sports bar when the building next to it burned down. There are no really good places in Morristown for Rutgers games. I usually go to Hops which is the new backroom of Famished Frog (Sidebar). Right now, its hard to get sound anywhere.
As you pick point pleasant as a northern most SJ town you are off a bit as Asbury Park is more appropriate choice for South Jersey. Asbury Park 40.2229°N latitude
Hamilton NJ is 40.2070°N latitude i.e. Hamilton is south of Asbury Park a 609 area code.
Welcome Reppin jerz as you can see we all get along just like family
That is true Cabbagehead, got me on a technicality, Pizza Pub in Chester is pretty good, as is Mamma Caterina's in Randolph, Vito's was my spot growing up in Hamilton...Pizza Da Solo is a hole in the wall pizza place in the Sony building in midtown that is excellent (coal fire pizza)
sebastians! i remember that place. what a shame.
Cabbagehead - send me an email at cornertavern AT ymail DOT com ... let's start building an official unofficial morris county game watch mailing list...
Unfortunately not too much farmland left. My mother grew up on a farm that was on Klockner Road. The pictures of what the area was like then were amazing. The farmhouse is still there I think, but looking at it you would never imagine it was once the central building for a huge farm.
If you, or anyone else wants to start an official RU party in that area - or any others - it's a lot easier than you think! Just reach out to
I know where Hamilton is, obviously, and where it lies in regards to Asbury and every other shore town, thanks! You're missing my point, however, so I'm not going to bother arguing. Think more "figuratively," than "literally," and you'll get the gist of where I, and most people from Mercer/Hamilton, who agree, are coming from when discussing this topic.
I love these New Jersey geography threads. Proof perfect that we New Jerseans will argue about anything. :)
Now about Asbury Park. Can't say I would call it southern New Jersey. I live about five miles south and have always considered the area central coast. The railroad calls the area North Jersey Coast.
I'm not inclined to do this in terms of lattitude, but by eyeball Asbury looks about midway between High Point and Cape May, which wouldn't make it South Jersey. . . . . If my eyeball is correct.
I'm going to have to get the address to see if the house really is still there. Haven't been there in a few years now that I think about it. My mother was one of fourteen children and there are only two left, so I better find out soon before everybody who remembers where the farm was is gone.
Relatively or literally or Wikipedia or Railroad lingo
Any thing south of Princeton is south jersey. BTW go to Hudson or Bergen county and they will say anything south of Union is south Jersey[roll]
I quit I was raised in Westwood =NJ and move to Cherry Hill =SJ and finally settled in New Brunswick = non-existent central Jersey
IT JUST F'in JERSEY
LOL so now it's Princeton? So then East Windsor, West Windsor and Hightstown are "South Jersey" as well? Stop, please, now!
p.s. - I've lived in Hudson County, on-and-off, for nearly 20 years, I get it!
Maybe I missed it but did he say where he went to college yet?
The southern most Central Jersey shore town is Pt. Pleasant. Anything south of that is getting into a "different" area.
Ok, I like this. This presents a whole new New Jersey geography paradigm for us to debate and argue. "What is the southern most Central Jersey Coast town?" I can't remember us disputing this before. Nice work here, Zak. :)
The North Jersey Coast rail line dead ends in Bay Head, one town south, so you might be on to something here. I do agree that south of Point Pleasant is a "different area," and I think we should argue vehemently about what this means.
Been saying for years 195 and the NEC/Jersey Coast lines are the basic parameters.
It's pretty clearly defined to me in 3 areas.
Sandy Hook-Point Pleasant (fine if you want to use Bay Head)
Mantoloking-Beach Haven (southern most LBI location)
Brigantine-Cape May
Ok, this is good. I would sub-divide it a little more though, if we are talking in terms of "different areas" as originally opined. Northern Monmouth county is very different from Southern Monmouth. So I would go from Sandy Hook maybe as far down as Monmouth Beach. (Not that far, I know). Then Long Branch to Bradley Beach. Then Avon to Brielle. I would insert the Barnegat inlet as a divider between subsequent areas. So for me it would be Point Pleasant to Seaside Park/Island Beach State Park as one area. Then Barnegat Light to Beach Haven as another area. That whole peninsula is quite a "different area." Brigantine to Cape May is good. If we are just talking geography and not "different areas" then I'll go with what you posted. :)
are you saying this for attention because everyone knows there is a central jersey. Hillsborough is not north jersey
Careful, I smells a trap. 3x we asked about his alma mater, but this was avoided and distracted by pork roll, area codes and the central jersey myth...
I got my eye on you reppin jersey, I got my eye on you:flushed:

Anybody who creates a "I'm new pay attention to me!" thread is instantly suspect.
says having Howard on our home schedule is the reason why he won't get season tickets...
did you see our schedule before we entered the B1G
Norfolk St
Eastern Michigan
Arkansas
Houston
Temple
Cincinnati
South Florida
they also have future matches with UCLA, Miami and Virginia Tech in the coming years
its a poor excuse complaining about our schedule when indeed or schedule is stacked...give the Howard tickets away then or bring the kids and wifey to it

Ehhh, he belongs on BWI, but is on a mission to destabilize ScarletNation. He knows what he's doing. Just bringing up Jersey geography has already split this board asunder.
It's actually common and considered good etiquette in some forums. Which is, of course, why I never do it.
