Loiswt Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Wow!!!! I can't believe this show has been going on for 44 years. It's always been one of my favorites.

Fran Haring Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hey Fran! We have something of a 'family tradition' of a late night dinner at the Coach House on Route 4 in Hackensack after the Grand Prix. Often see others from the show there as well. You're always welcome to join us before you head home. We've been going to either the Six Brothers Diner not far from the stadium.... where Rte. 3 and Rte. 46 converge.... or the past few years, we've been hitting the Edison Diner, close to Wayne and Loretta's house.... our "hotel" for that weekend. Maybe we'll all have to relocate to that Hackensack diner....LOL Of course.... there's always the local legend, the Egg Platter on Crooks Ave., right down the road from the stadium. Haven't been there in a while, but I remember it was a GREAT breakfast diner, when I used to stop in during my days at WPAT. Fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorpsBuff Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 The Tick Tock Diner 281 Alwood Rd in Clifton was featured on Food Network as one of the best diners in all of New Jersey. Home of the famous big clock and "Eat Heavy" sign. Not that I like food or anything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there a few times over the years.... usually after NJ Nets games. Back when I lived in NJ and Nets tickets were affordable......LOL Fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabsleadbari79 Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi Lois, The answer to your question is a lot. I started going to the Grand Prix in 1970 and I don’t remember the Buccaneers not being there. Hey Allen lets just hope the snow is gone by July 5th, Lois and I will miss you in Wildwood. BTW Guys The Jersey diners are ok, but when in Clifton Rutts Hut should be the stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple Forte Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 (edited) The Tick Tock Diner 281 Alwood Rd in Clifton was featured on Food Network as one of the best diners in all of New Jersey. Home of the famous big clock and "Eat Heavy" sign.Not that I like food or anything... Another spot Grand Prix fans converge on after the show is Rutt's Hut (Also in Clifton). Also featured on the Food Network with special mention of their famous homemade hot dog relish and deep-frying method. Rutt's Food Review Everyone seems to have their own traditional places to go to after the show. It would be pretty cool if everyone would go to the same place. The folks running the place wouldn't know what hit them. Much like a full corps hitting a local spot after an all-night bus ride.....
