Although, you are correct, moving to Lafayette is not the solution. There are no good modes of transportation there. The OP said she wanted to be close to the PATH. Riding jitneys, the light rail, and transferring to the PATH gets old really really fast.

I think that "estimate" is pretty far off... $441k for an 1850 sq. ft. single family home seems pretty cheap, even in this housing market. And "estimated" rent for about $1300/mo for a single family home that size is definitely not right.

Even if this is true, most owners would do a pretty good job of hiding it. I personally have never encountered anything remotely rude when I've been there. Everyone has been very nice. Which is why I'm a bit taken aback by the response of TheTacoTruck on this board. It's fine to defend yourself, but you just called your entire customer base "lower class" than that of NYC. I'm not sure how that's to be interpreted by the residents of this city who are the patrons of the restaurant.

Thanks for the insult. Yep, we're all slobs living in outrageously expensive homes, paying outrageous rents. The lower east side clientele is so much more high brow. I'm not sure if you realize this but one reason you've succeeded so well in Jersey City is because there is NO competition. Good luck selling tacos in the lower east side. Maybe the high brow clientele from St. Marks Place will keep your business afloat. I'm not sure where you learned your business skills from, but I'd suggest you go back to school. Insulting the entire city that has made your business a success isn't exactly the way to grow your success.

Maybe you could have told all this to the management? Menu changes won't please everyone, all the time. Usually a place will remove certain items if they aren't selling. Just because you liked those items, doesn't mean everyone else did.

I wish them well. The location isn't the best, but if they have good coffee and real coffee shop hours (ie. open early), they should do just fine!

Not every wine shop has a description for every single wine they carry. Most are provided by the manufacturer or a magazine. If you only buy wines that have a tag describing the wine, then you're probably missing out on some great wines. Most beers don't describe their "flavor" in detail either. But one Pilsner can vary greatly to another pilsner and so forth.

I have to agree with you on this. You say you have no proof, but only suspect it is her. AND state where the person lives. This is insane. If everyone got revenge on who the SUSPECTED had wronged them, there would be mass violence daily for no real cause. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if all of a sudden people started showing up at your house and potentially doing harm to you for something you didn't do, nor knew nothing about. Until you have proof, making these accusations and giving out addresses only makes you look like the fool. I really hope the webmaster edits this thread and takes this stuff down.

That whole area/parking lot by Palace Drugs is a mess. What was once 2or 3, maybe 4 people is now growing into a whole large group. An ambulance shows up there at least daily. Police walk/drive right by. Meanwhile "no loitering" signs are everywhere. I wouldn't be very happy if I were the owner of Box.

His name is Paco, but everyone calls him "Taco." They beat each other regularly until he goes to jail. Then gets out "cleaned up" and the whole process starts over again. His mother kicked him out of her house and the last time he was in jail was for beating the hell out of his girlfriends (or whatever she is) mother.

I always got the impression this was not a real business, or that the owners just didn't care. It was never promo'd by them. They didn't seem to know what they were doing, and the food just wasn't that good. The pizza however was ok. How long were they in business? 3 months?

So essentially it's the same store? This is what I don't understand about Jersey City. A "gourmet/specialty" store was there and failed. So what opens up there? Essentially the same thing? I wouldn't be surprised to see a pho place open up where Rue Viet was.

Bleach is toxic. I have no idea how much or how little was being poured, but I would wonder why as well. No one said to call the CIA. Just the local police. Once again, JC List takes it to the next level of ridiculousness. It's illegal to pour things like that into the street which goes into the storm drains, which drains to the river/waterways. I wouldn't care if it was a mosque or a candy store. I'd still be concerned why and how often this person does this.

While I agree for the most part, this will never change. As it is, it is only 4 days a week, with Wednesday Free. That means that a single side of the street is "cleaned" every 3rd day. What do you suggest? Once a week? The powers that be will never let that happen. It's more for ticketing cars than actual street cleaning. Your energy might be better focused fighting something that has an actual chance of changing.

It probably is illegal. But only in the same way that a really loud car stereo is as well. Unless there is someone around to enforce the law, then it's just a matter of what you can get away with.

Re: H&M to open at Newport mall

Most people that live in downtown, but work in NYC do not see downtown Jersey City on a Monday-Friday 9-5 basis. If you walk around during the day on a weekday, you'd see that CH Martin, Rainbow, the 99 cent stores are all busy with customers. That is their base. And as previously stated, the people you see getting off the PATH train at 5:30 are not the targeted audience. This town may have gentrified, but nowhere near the level people think it has.
People choose to live in Short Hills for a reason. A lot of people in Jersey City may even have the same income, but their lifestyles are very different. It makes sense that Macy's doesn't carry the same lines of clothes. Just like the Home Depot here in Jersey City does not have a big garden/outdoor area.
