THread to put together a possible NYC weekly (perhaps bi-weekly) meet.

No, TNC - we are not trying to copy you guys -_-. We just need a place more realistic and efficient for us NYer's that live on Long Island (including Queens and Brooklyn).

OK, so instead of crapping in the other "Official NY" thread. I decided to start one for us to discuss about a possible meet for us in the LI, QN, and BK area. Obviously the prefered points are in QN and BK because we already have a meet in every other other area. Around Westbury LI, Staten Is., NJ etc... They all have their own meets.

Now here is a suggestion from me. There is a place in Bensonhurst Brooklyn near the Verrazano Bridge called Ceasar's Bay. It is a large parking lot for a somewhat small mall strip that includes Strauss, Bestbuy, Toys R Us, Modells, and Kohls. It is right next to the water. It is located next to exit 6 on the Belt - Bay Parkway Exit. The place is quiet and peaceful on every night except friday night. That's when a local ricer car meet is held. It gets wild with ricers pulling stupid **** and undercover cops start to raid every vehicle in the lot. So friday is out of the question.

Just so everyone knows. I personally prefer going to a meet without people pulling stupid **** like burnouts and things alike. By no means am I interested in wasting my time with that. I don't feel like being pulled into other peoples business when they get in trouble and we happen to be in the same group.

I'm not sure which one that is, but the BestBuy meet that has been mention quite often is more than an hour and a half from me (and that is without traffic).

right, even though I'm in Queens the LI meet is quite a trek..

even factoring in the toll and gas it's "cheaper" to go out to East Rutherford then to drive out there.. sucks because they are really a cool bunch of guys

anyway, I definitely agree we should get a TRUE NYC meet going.. maybe something like Flushing Meadows park? Got a bunch of lots there, just not too sure about the local police.

i'm telling you, especially being bi-weekly this could really work.. we have alot of ppl here in the city that aren't as crazy as some of us who pay the TOLL to go to the meets in Jersey.

there are other lots also.. having a car meet at that lot would (in my opinion) draw unwanted attention..

LOL let's get things organized first before we hold a meet. How about selecting a place first and then selecting the date a week or two from now?

By doing that, it will allow us to get more people aware of the meet and to make sure the place is good for the long run. We cant keep changing spots.


edit: I am not familiar with Queens' lots. I know evo's, STi and G35 mini meets are often held in the Caesar's Bay lot in Bensonhurst Brooklyn. They usually have no more than 12 cars and they just park on the side to chill. I have never seen cops bother them on everyday except Friday. Cops are usually cool if you're just standing there in a bunch talking with the cars parked.

I would say Flushing Meadow Park. We could do it on Thursday. The LI meet in LI I heard the cops shut it down because of fights. Alot of Rotor heads was going there, so it be cool to get Thursday up but with Rotories,,,

Flushing Meadow is also closer to the LI folks, so they may be willing to make the trek out too... it's also a reasonable distance for anyone in the 5 boro's.. except maybe SI (lol Ray)..
