Looked at the listing; it's for Lisbon II restaurant. If the going rate for a liquor license in JC is 250k, you're paying 200k for the buildout. I wonder how much the rent is?
Listening to NPR yesterday, they covered how New Jersey has the distinction of having the highest taxes in all the land, and the most archaic liquor laws, from Prohibition and WW II. I wonder if they'll ever pass that beer and wine license provision?

I've seen even very high end (read: expensive) restaurants in the city allow you to bring your own champagne even though they serve the same or similar champagne, for a corkage fee (shouldn't it be an 'uncorking fee'?) For example if only the '96 Dom will do but La Sirena only has the current year. Heaven forfend!

Great info for those uninitiated. I like that Ahri's is byo and there's a liquor store across the street; Madame Claude is also byo and has a liquor store half a block down. Didn't know Dolma was byo, thanks for the info!

Wow, I didn't even know about CERC, although I've walked by it many times. I then proceeded to look it up online; it seems they don't have a website? Correct me if I'm wrong. I would love to use the facilities there! It seems it's only for people in the know.

Interested in this. I got into a tt kick last year and the forums were only able to recommend amenities in luxury condos. I found an outdoor table in Hoboken and King Pong in Soho, which is now closed.

Big fan of Ahri's bulgogi as well. Had some of their ktacos recently, good stuff. Wanted to tell OP, went to Dolma a couple of days ago for brunch. Really top notch food, although portions a tiny little bit on the smaller side; I've been craving mediterranean for a while and Dolma hit the spot. Was too cold for that outdoor seating triangle but it'll be poppin' come summer. Nice ambience, but dunno about at dinner. Should be, looks like they did a good job with the interior.

I have the same impression. The food is great, the portions are a little small, but it's downright spooky in there. Hopefully the owner gets wind, if he or she hasn't noticed already.

Check out Ahri's near Hamilton Park. Tasty Korean food, seems pretty healthy. BYOB with a liquor store across the street.
edit: Ha! Now that I think about it, it's artisanal Korean food. Referencing another post on jclist.

Went a couple of weeks ago, and was unimpressed. Not in a bad way, just that the experience is like the name: you get what you see. The burger's ok tasting, and small, kind of like the burger that you get at your Food Network binge-watching friend's BBQ, but smaller. The kitchen juts out into the dining area and creates a nice tight choke point to get to the back dining section. The kitchen also has that hazy kitchen glass above the wood build-out which may have been necessary to meet code but makes it an open and invisible kitchen at the same time, for shorter people. Weird choices. The seating area in front has stools with suboptimal leg position. The finishes are nice but it seems they didn't hire an interior designer; maybe flipped through a design mag with a builder. The eating position to table, table to foot rest ratios are all off. Kind of like the diagram for the perfect pooping position. The owner/cashier/manager? was perky and friendly, but not enough of a reason to go again. I hope they do well, it's an ok place, kind of like a 3/4 shake shack in terms of quality and quantity at 5/4 shake shack prices. I think they WILL do well, just based on the type of food (JC grove street is burger/pizza ride or die), the LOCATION, and the price points. edit: Just scrolled through cuz I haven't read this thread since the beginning. Looks like my take on the place just rehashed what most people have said already. Someone mentioned White Castle, and I heard recently that White Mana on the Western Slope was the original inspiration for White Castle. Is that true? Going to check it out regardless. 2nd edit:Wikipedia tells me that no, it's not true.

Doesn't look like there are any residential considerations in the plans. I've done some business there with the print shop, very cool building with a cobblestone path and old train tracks. Would be a good location for a Costco; can't really think of any other stores that would need 95 THOUSAND square feet. I know that some 1%ers keep their motorcycles and old Porsches up on the higher floors; some good parties there. Traffic will be awesome in the Biblical, daunting sense, and will turn many people on to early retirement, working from home, or moving.

I disagree. When using a dictionary, the most common definition is first profferred. Although there is a secondary definition, IMO it applies to quantizable food products, such as cheese, olive oil; foods where there is an alternative to the traditional way. Olive oil can and mostly is made through machine press. Artisanal olive oil is the exception, validating the inclusion of the word 'traditional' in the definition. See my aforementioned example of "artisanal bologna sandwich." "Artisanal popsicle house." Isn't it jarring? The implication of BBQ at a BBQ restaurant precludes the possibility of anything but traditional methods, IMO. There is just labor-intensive method. So, what I'm saying is I see your definition, and raise a more thorough interpretation of said definition. I'm not trying to be a pedant, but I really don't think BBQ is artisanal, of or relating to the artisan. I think it's delicious food that's bad for your health. I've included IMO in my response, because YMMV. However, tell me if you don't understand the nuance of my opinion, or if you are perseverating -Repeat or prolong an action, thought, or utterance after the stimulus that prompted it has ceased- Any reply without consideration of the points in my argument is dogmatic -Asserting or insisting upon ideas or principles, especially when unproven or unexamined, in an imperious or arrogant manner- Lastly, if you are a person that always needs to get the last word, then let me know. I will stop. I really am just wondering if you feel what I'm saying? Like, do you, like, hear me, son?

I disagree, not strongly, but personally. Just to make sure, I looked up the definition. Here it is: An Artisan is a skilled craft worker who makes or creates things by hand that may be functional or strictly decorative, for example furniture, decorative arts, sculptures, clothing, jewelry, household items and tools or even mechanical mechanisms such as the handmade clockwork movement of a watchmaker. That's the definition from Wikipedia. Making it in a traditional way by hand, or in a non-mechanized manner, doesn't cut it, FOR ME. YMMV. After this point, you may say that becoming a pitmaster requires fine motor skills and years of training, such as a tourbillion watchmaker for Vacheron constantin requires. Then we will agree to disagree. Here is the definition from Merriam Webster: Full Definition of artisan 1 : a worker who practices a trade or handicraft : craftsperson 2 : one that produces something (as cheese or wine) in limited quantities often using traditional methods You may also say that according the Merriam-webster definition, BBQ fits the definition of artisanal. However, I believe that definition to be too general; I do not consider myself an artisan when making a sandwich at home, for example. Wikipedia, by no means an exhaustive authority, but a good proxy for certain topics, expounds further on the definition: ...Thus, "artisanal" is sometimes used in marketing and advertising as a buzz word to describe or imply some relation with the crafting of handmade food products, such as bread, beverages or cheese.... I like the English language. It is my first and best language. It can be so expressive, and specific. I prefer to hone the definitions of words, where applicable, to fine points, so when appropriate there is no mistaking what I mean. If BBQ by that definition is artisanal, this would expand many things to being artisanal: deli salad, the bagel down at wonder bagel, pulled pork, a mechanical watch, a Pagani, a Stradivarius. The letter of the word and the spirit of the word are discordant and then the word becomes irrelevant. I'd like to say that Hamilton Pork never claimed their BBQ to be artisanal; this derailment is just a friendly discussion about what is and isn't artisanal. Actually, now that I've typed out this entire stupid response, I may have swayed myself (a bit) in the other direction. I suppose BBQ could be artisanal, but I do not usually think of it as such.

Hard to say that BBQ is artisanal, imo, don't need an artisan. Need a hunk of meat, some spice rub, and strong backs. BBQ is pretty good here, and probably will only get better once they figure out what they're up to.

Hopsscotch is great with its selection of beer and spirits, but the vibe needs a total makeover. Even (or especially) the yellow staggered lettering and the dusty beer and spirit bottles in the windows, the drawn shades. Nice owner/manager and great selection, food's just fine. It's the chick in the 90s movie who just needs to take her glasses off and put in contacts to be the one you were looking for the entire time. That being said I like that it's half full most of the time, instead of brimming with the usual weekend mutants.
