NYC Porsches......meet and cruise

During the last few days it seems as though out of nowhere there's been an abundance of NYC Porsche owners appearing out of the woodwork.

Spring is around the corner (pun intended lol) and am thinking we could all benefit from a cruise around town.

Ideas and locations are more than welcome; thus far some decent locations seem to be belt parkway (eh so so) prospect park (certain hours we are allowed to drive inside) and ocean parkway can be rather forgiving looking at comparable roads, Times Square etc.

There is also an option to cruise to a neighborhood restaurant my good friend owns on Coney Island (Brooklyn) avenue names Sahara.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

So far as we aren't traveling an hour and a half just to park lol should be awesome.
I'm not too familiar with queens but have heard there are several nice areas to cruise as well

Cruise around here is tough but a gtg @ Floyd Bennett is an idea I raised before

EDIT: or maybe a cuise to captree in LI on sunday AM? its an early morning for a weekend though, I hear folks are all there by 8am - although I have never been...


Side note : taci beyti is better than Sahara

The sand blasting at captree is painful! Until summer when there is no wind.

I'm in. A cruise from coney island through ocean parkway then the prospect into times square seems like a good ride,

The LIE sounds awesome as well as the route raym50 suggested as well. Ocean parkway isn't that bad at all!

Not to mention our cars aren't garage queens and won't fall apart with the slightest bump. Weather is looking dismal at best but mid April should be much better, with decent turnout it would be great (thinking April 13th as it's a Sunday)

Keep the awesome ideas flowing!

Troppers do pop up near the bridge. Watch the speed after the bridge. 35MPH.

You also need a front plate.
