Welcome, looking forward to trying! It definitely fills a need. Good luck!

Not to turn this into a 7th St Deli discussion but they were a frequent breakfast/lunch place for us - egg sammies and ramen were our faves. Anyone know if they are opening something elsewhere?

Thanks all.
We'll have ramen as well; I've tried 7th Street ramen and you're right, the quality was going down the last few months.
You'll probably have to get your egg sammy fix somewhere else though :(

If you own and use a car Pebble then you are a hypocrite when I say parking should be available for public buildings. I am sure you will use your car to get to this new complex. The city should have parking so residents like you do not take parking away from local residents. The people in that ward should not have worry about parking when they return home.

Maybe we need some better VERY LARGE etiquette signs displayed in the PATH - In your face signs that state - ARE YOU DISABLED OR PREGNANT to be sitting in these seats ?

Maybe the seat remains permanently upright and needs to be activated via a ticket - If not in use, it will create more standing space.




The image should be screen printed or embroidered into the seat and back rest - The only exemption would be for parents with small children

Put this sign up and you'll certainly get people that have the dogs with fake service vests trying to sit down.

how about an aldi market for jersey city

I've never been to one in the US, but lived down the street from one in Lyon. It was one step above a 99 cent store. Are they better here?

Aldi is the parent company of Trader Joe's. I assume they would carry a few similar items but not branded with the Trader Joe's logo.

I wonder if this type of system would work from the Heights to Hoboken train station for example. Maybe even getting people across the Hudson from LSP or thereabouts.

It's a sad commentary about today's society. I was on the bus last week and the lowlifes would not give up their seats to allow a wheelchair bound person on. The driver, another passenger and me finally literally bullied people out of their seats.

wouldn't someone in a wheelchair already have a seat?

I spend most of today in Philly and this is what I saw:
No graffiti, plenty of parks, no air planes or helicopters above citizen heads, mass transit plus plenty of parking for cars. Granted Philly is a city of 4 million people and not a mid size city but traffic is able to move unlike JC. The lack of graffiti and the abundance of parks and museums make the place very inviting. It also has the Reading Terminal as an unique place to eat. However, I will say our Churches, especially the Catholic Churches in JC are just as attractive as the churches in Philly. If the mayor plans on rebranding the city then he should not forget our places of worship.

Just to be clear, it says on Saturdays and Sundays the closure will last from 12 a.m. to midnight. 12 a.m. is midnight. Will the closure be in effect 24 hours on Saturdays and Sundays (closes Friday afternoon, reopens Monday) or did they really mean 12 p.m. (noon) to midnight on Saturdays and Sundays?

Pedestrian plaza begins on Tuesday, August 19:

From the City's Facebook page:

Quote:

Beginning Tuesday, August 19, 2014, Newark Avenue from Grove Street to Barrow Street
and Erie Street from Newark Avenue to Bay Street will be closed from 3 p.m. to midnight, Monday through Friday and between 12 a.m. and midnight, Saturday and Sunday for the preservation of the public?s safety and welfare at the newly created pedestrian plaza.

?We are excited for the creation of the new pedestrian plaza at Newark Avenue as this will provide our residents more opportunities to enjoy the great restaurants and cafes in the area and take in music and culture, while contributing to a sense of community,? said Mayor Fulop. ?The City has worked with the businesses in the area on the street closures and we will continue to monitor the pilot program to measure the impacts and benefits, but we view this is a largely positive addition to the area.?

Has anyone wondered what Koro Koro means? I didn't ask the owner, so they may have a different meaning in mind though. But here is what I know:

Koro Koro is onomatopoeia in Japanese language that describes small object, like a rice ball tumbling/rolling down on a slope. So I'm sure Koro Koro refers to rice balls.

Polish Pizza?

Atsushi wrote: My wife and I went to Koro Koro last night, and it was very good. Background cultural info for people who may not be familiar with Japanese culture (I?m Japanese): Rice ball is called Onigiri or Omusubi in Japan. It has been the most classic lunch people in Japan bring to picnic and outing since the ancient time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onigiri Rice balls this restaurant serves are similar to what you can buy at convenience stores in Japan with a special plastic wrap to keep the seaweed dry and crisp, except: They make them fresh (on the spot) manually one by one. (Rice balls you can buy at a convenience store are made by machines in a food factory and probably several hours old by the time they get to the stores.) I thought that because they make their rice balls on the spot and serve them right away, plastic wrap is not necessary (indeed some customers were having a hard time unwrapping it correctly). I believe that for those orders to stay, serving them without a wrap on a plate would be more authentic and intimate. And for those orders to go, plastic wrap should be an option as some people prefer seaweed to be crisp and others prefer wet (moist). What?s embedded in a rice ball (content) is what gives individual rice ball unique flavor. Traditionally, only a few kinds of content were used in Japan, like pickled plum or salted salmon. But in the last 30 years, many new contents have been invented and have become popular. Most of the contents that they serve appear to be their original and definitely with western twists (They even had one with Indian twist and Cuban twist; next time I shall try those!). I tried those rice balls with western twists, and they were really good. (I was reminded of Ramen noodles served at Union Republic. Their ramen is definitely with western twist. They may not be strictly traditional, but there is nothing wrong with that, in my opinion. There are many kinds of food Japan has imported from the west and has given them her own twist, so I have no objections with Americans giving their own twists to Japanese food. Some of these ideas are really unique, and native Japanese would never have been able to come up with. I enjoy American twists on Japanese food in general.) I also tried their miso-soup and Japanese potato salad. Both were very good. Like rice balls, what you put in a soup makes miso-soup unique, in addition to type of miso (fermented beat paste) and stock (or called Dashi). They put eggplant and seaweed in theirs, which they said that it?s from Okinawa. I?ve never been there, so I can?t specifically comment on that, but I thought that eggplant worked well and the soup tasted like authentically home-cooked. Of course, it wasn?t quite as good as what my mother makes, but I?ll give it an A minus. (Every Japanese person thinks their mother makes the best miso-soup , so A minus is pretty darn good;) I tasted soy sauce in the Japanese potato salad, which was great. My mother normally doesn?t put soy sauce in her potato salad, but some of us, myself included, pour small amount of soy sauce on it upon being served. When I make potato salad, I sometimes put some wasabi sauce in it, and it would be great if they add that to the menu. Last night air conditioner wasn?t working, so it was really hot, but that?s a really minor point. I?m sure they will address that sooner or later. I remember hearing that they can accept cash only at this time but that they will be able to accept credit card soon. We?ve been looking forward to opening of this place for a few months, and overall, my wife and I were very satisfied, and we are looking forward to going there again and try other things on the menu.

Didn't your parents teach you manners? You don't win friends by calling people dense. But then again, you hide behind a phony name to protect yourself. If my idea is wrong, then every bus in NYC who runs express and skips stations is wrong. They skip areas and only go to certain spots which gets passengers on the bus by avoiding the typical bus stops. Without the skipping the bus would be too compact with riders. It also makes the bus go faster. I am sure if we skip stations and do not pick up passengers, we would see similar benefits.

Huh? What are you talking about?? There are no such signs! At one point, the city (haphazardly) implemented a no turn policy (when they also created that little half ass swerve as you head east on Grand) by painting NO TURN on the street. It was promptly removed two weeks later, when it proved useless and no one actually heeding that.

But, right now, there aren't any signs on that corner prohibiting turns from Grand onto Barrow.

It's obvious you can't accurately gauge a height of 2 to 3 hundred feet.

More Yvonne nonsense:
But you know somethings off kilt just by looking at it. In this case the height minimums and maximums are shaded by the changing topography the choppers fly over. In a minute they can be over water, over your house or vacant tracts of land.

Yet more Yvonne nonsense:
The true gauge would be to have the FAA overseers track the choppers for a week with their machines. If done properly I submit almost every chopper would be far lower than they are supposed to be.

Speaking of which, supposedly that was coming to an end after their insane lobbying, yet from what I see there has been absolutely no change.

There has been very little change. I walk my dog (on a leash) daily through that park. It seems like the Parks & Recreation people there more frequently (or at least it seems to me), and when they're there dogs are on leashes. But when they're not, game on. I don't care either way. I prefer to keep my dog on a leash, but I'm not concerned by those who don't.

That's what I was getting at. DTJC was SWEARING that he would put an end to offleash dogs there. I laughed at him and noted that it would never happen.
