Does this restaurant even have a sign? The only reason I knew it existed was I happened to drive by yesterday and saw people sitting at outdoor tables. I drive by there all the time and never noticed it. I didn't find out the name of the place until we walked inside and looked at a menu. I couldn't believe when I found this thread and saw that it has been open for almost 3 months.

We were there last week and were told there was no sign because they are just having a soft opening now. The official open is next Sunday I believe.

We enjoyed our meal though.

Crime & Safety:: Hearing delay irks gun store owner: Owner's licenses to sell and carry firearms still revoked
Well at least I am in the majority. It appears that more of us have been told to drown ourselves in the Hudson River than have been told thank you. Its nice to be in good company.

Although three of the charges have been struck down there still remain 3 charges. I await with interest to see where this case goes.

Hey 'RabbitRabbit' let us know when you come off of your 'Happy-Happy -- Joy Joy' cloud. Are you related to these guys or what? Are you friggin' kidding me!

If I was not clear enough...the "order" in front of ours was for the WAIT staff! And, don't tell me an hour for 2 friggin' egg meals is a sign of a good establishment. They didn't even get around to making my fruit drink for like 20-min. We never heard the 'whip-whip' whisking sound of eggs being beaten for a very long time. And, I have absolutely no qualms about this place being the worst dining experience ever in Jersey City...(hey, and I know...).

Oh, and I love the part about the magazines to read during 'down time'. We were not even told about the specials and if anyone reads my original post they will note 'someone' who came in and left during our whole experience (he "escaped" actually)...my wife and I were curious as to why they told him of the days' brunch specials when we were not...just an oversight...

Thanks for the post "Bear". Nice to know we aren't the only ones living in reality. $10 for the 'Frittata' isn't all that horrid in this overpriced world we live in, and actually sort of a bargain but the thing that arrived resembled not a whip of a "Frittata" it was a damn flat burnt on the bottom omelet. I could have gone home and made it for $3 in 5-min. and would have tasted better.

i really feel for you. please stay away. they won't go out of business without your measly dollars, you won't be miserable and the world will be a better place.

i hope u choke somewhere else.

...check out the dosa places on Newark Ave in Jrnl. Sq., they're great - it's South Indian cooking, which is a little different (it's vegetarian, and the 'dosas' are like huge thin crepes).

I'm sure there's threads on which are the best, the one I like I think is called "Dosa Hut"

I think the place you're referring to is Sri Ganesh's Dosa House on Newark. I recently went there for the first time with my friend and it was excellent. She wrote a review of it for www.jerseycityuncovered.com

I think Jersey City needs gun stores. Because criminals don't buy guns at gun stores. They don't have permits, they have "connects". The criminals are armed.......and the civilians are not?

not this again. You are right, criminals do not buy their guns legally from the gun stores, they buy it from the black market. But where do you think those guns that are circulating on the black market came from?

If retail sales and home ownership of firearms are banned, that means weapons will be tightly controlled and much more difficult to obtain on the black market over time. Because the price to buy them will be much higher. This means some 15 year old kid wont just be able to lay down 200 bucks and buy a semi auto to wave around. Simple supply and demand at work.

This has been proven time and time again, just look at any country that has a strict gun country law, and see how many gun related crimes they have ratio wise to their population compared to the US.

The problem is the pro side is not willing to look ahead and give up their gun ownership for a safer country 5-10 years down the road.

Easy as all that huh?

You're conveniently leaving out the part where enough political will is generated in Congress and the States to repeal an Amendment to our Constitution found in the Bill of Rights. Because that would be necessary to override the present (and sticking around for a while) makeup of the Supreme Court, which is not going to permit the 2nd Amendment to be interpreted in the way you're suggesting.

So "the problem" isn't as simple, or as one-sided, as you pretend it is.

If you would like to see the Kitty Caboodle babies, please go to www.CompanionAnimalTrust.Petfinder.com. We are doing pre-adoption screening now so email us if you are interested in adopting at companionanimaltrust@yahoo.com.

Restaurants & Bars:: Food cart for downtown
Hopefully, its a halal meat cart. You would do well with all those who attend the Mosque in the area.

And sometimes going to NYC for my fix is just a bit much. :)
