How can we encourage some of them to venture into other zips like 07304, 07305 so that they become safer, more prosperous, etc.

For my taste, Mighty Quinn brisket and pulled pork are the best of NY options I have tried. West village location is perfect for a quick stop before Christopher path. Hill country is great for Manhattan as well... RIP RUB, loved that place. Amazing that there was a time when Dallas BBQ and Virgil's were the only game in town.

Regarding Carvao, those site pix make it look like more a grill than BBQ? as long as it is "good", fine with either... but yeah, Downtown is ripe for legit Q.

Be sure to check out the Big Apple BBQ Block Party in june. I'll be the guy standing first in line when Big Bob Gibson opens.

Apparently the state owns it now and was looking for potential buyers to submit proposals by 3/15/15. It also says it's a low income housing development, with some (about a third) market rate units. Excuse the long url.

Anyone know anything?

There is no sense engaging with "loco". As his name suggests, he (she?) is insane. Never engage with insanity. It's a waste of time. Not even sure why he is posting here, a Jersey City bulletin board, as his beef is happening in BK.

But, again, there is no reasoning with people like that. His absolutist views and opinions do not afford any room for dissension and discussion.

Somehow, the developers of this project think their apartment building(s) is in the same neighborhoods of several restaurants in Hoboken, several more restaurants in Manhattan, Amelia's, Park & Sixth, Marco & Pepe and so on. Amazing! I didn't know Hoboken, Manhattan and Jersey City were all in the same neighborhood.

The "shopping" in the neighborhood they tout is even more laughable. Oooh! Right by Best Buy, Pier 1, Target and Home Depot. Just a little further to Staples and Modells. Woohoo! Sign me up.

What's happening at the site of the Shell gas station on 12th Street between Erie and Manila? It's been closed for about a year but there are bulldozers there today and the store has been demolished. Only thing still standing is the overhang.

They can't be putting a residential building up there facing the Holland Tunnel plaza, surely...?

Too much parking. Last thing we need in downtown are more vacant parking garages.

I have a feeling the ten people bitching about food trucks going away on JClist will have little to no effect on the restaurants that chose to voice their TOTALLY VALID complaints about the food court that was opening up twice a week. I occupied the farmers market as much as the restaurants and I would rather lose the farmers markets food trucks than lose the restaurants that actually made the effort to set up shop downtown. I don't know how anyone who has lived here more than a couple of years can be so quick to turn on restaurants that decided to invest in this area when we had very little to start with.

There is such a sense of entitlement coming across in these posts. If I had a business I busted my ass for I would be fighting for it too. Everyone complains about how long it takes to open a business here but when a brick and mortar store actually tries to- gee I don't know stay in business? - you can't wait to get your pitchforks over someone taking away your empanadas. A local business doesn't exist solely to cater to everyone's individual needs- they are trying to run a business and make a living too.

I've never seen so many grown adults be deliberately obtuse over the differences between food trucks and running an actual restaurant. If anything this entire thread has made me want to go to Two Boots every day. I can't wait to see how long everyone's "boycott" lasts.

I live in Journal Square near the Armory...love it, it's ugly, neighbors are great. Bring on those 150 story highrises. I struggle every month to make3 my mortgage payments on a house that has actually lost value over the past 12 years. Gentrify the hell out of this neighborhood because the JHournal Square of 1950s does not exist anymore. We gotta make some positive progress at some time or the area will continue to implode. Progress is accomplished by building new big ass buildings and the increased home values and employment opportunities that come with it!

Their crystal shrimp is also a joke, it's just supermarket (ocean) shrimp cooked pan fried, i can cook it better myself. It's not river shrimp, and not cooked fresh under strong fire to get that fresh/tender taste

Where do you get fresh water (river) shrimp?

This urban legend has always been floating around : That Mayor Hague's desk had a draw built into it that would open on the visitors side , like a driveup bank draw . You would put the envelope in the draw and he would pull a lever and it would fall into a safe without his hands touching it. That would be a nice piece for a museum to have.

I don't understand how bar owners are allowed to blatantly promote a 'bar crawl' without city hall or Police stepping in and having some sort of checks and balances in place.

Legally, I don't think they can stop it.

The city already shut down the St Patrick's Day Parade, as it was ludicrously out of control. I haven't been in Hoboken during the crawl since it started (I avoid it, frankly) but it does sound tamer than the previous parades.
