PHILLY HO Meetup at the SEA Market on SEPT 8 [Philadelphia]

Looking forward as well! Weather looks perfect for an outdoor eating outing :slight_smile:

I did not make it to the market last Sunday, since our move was delayed by a day.

As for a meeting location, maybe peeps who’ve been there before can make a suggestion? Is there an entrance of sorts, or a good spot to assemble?

There is a large pavilion at the park that might be an easy place to meet. Also a Swedish Museum that might be less crowded. But maybe someone else has a better option.

I’ve never been there before but based on the market location map, how about at the eastern end of the parking lot? In the blue circle below:

We’ll be SEPTA’ing it, but happy to meet wherever seems reasonable/easy.

When we were there in June there was an entrance with flags nearby - I think where I circled. Of course the market moved to their summer location and so too may have the entrance. @tcamp’s suggestion looks good.

For reference, you will be entering the park from the top right corner of these maps if you arrive via the subway

Thank you, that’s helpful! My dood is a big Flyers fan (yeah, I know — but it could be worse… he could be an Iggles fan :smile:), so we’ve been down there. Mostly after dark, though, so I never noticed a park, just massive parking lots.

I’m confident we’ll all find each other :slight_smile:

So… 12pm at the entrance of the market?

Hey now. I have zero horses in this race, as I am not much of a sportsing* fan :wink:

BUT my dood couldn’t resist picking up a shirt on our last visit here in December, sold by a very loud and funny guy near Liberty Place. I believe the print said “The Eagles fucking suck this year” or some such. We found it highly amusing.

FWIW, he’s a Giants fan, which has been rather depressing these last few years. I keep telling him to pick a different team to root for, but apparently, that’s not how that works :laughing:

No, unfortunately it’s not. And believe me, I’ve lived through way too many seasons of sucking Eagles. (But as long as the Cowboys aren’t winning it’s all good :wink:

Everyone seems to at least agree on that, regardless of whom they root for :wink:

Entrance sounds fine to me but note that the market now is in a different location then that circled by MsBean. See the blue circle below for current market location. I suspect that there are multiple entrances. Could we agree that we’ll look for the entrance nearest the parking lot? Or eastern-most? We’ll be on foot but can amble over to whichever entrance is chosen.

Fine by me. Is the easternmost entrance the top right of the circle, or the bottom left?

Sorry, I am directionally challenged & also don’t know where the parking lot is :grimacing:

LOL. I’m a map geek.

Skinny gray rectangle is the parking area, where the circled P is. Easternmost entrance (I’m guessing) would be at the upper right side of my BLUE circle along that yellow path. Let’s choose that one!

I am also not shy about walking around yelling “HUNGRY ONIONS OVER HERE” although my son would vanish if I did that

Oh, you mean where it says P for PARKING? :rofl: (why is there no facepalm emoji???) And the market is along that lot? Top side?

Love that. I had suggested a brightly colored umbrella, but I think we just might manage to find one another :wink:
