Fortunately, no business needs or expects everyone to go there. Since the list of restaurants includes the likes of Left Bank burger and Ani Ramen - fairly priced restaurants that are already successful in the area - I think they will be ok. It's not expensive food at all, but if you want a $2 burger at McD's, yes you'll have to go elsewhere.

I normally balk at spending over $8-10 for lunch, and judging by scenes like the trucks at Greeley Sq this won't be in that range. Thankfully, for now, there's still plenty of places in JC away from the waterfront that are.

I was extremely disappointed in the new smokehouse on Tonnelle where 555 market was, and told them so. For the $8 they charged for a meager pile of pulled pork on a hamburger bun, I could get twice as much pernil with a pile rice and beans at dozens of JC establishments.

Parker said the other woman, who she claims she had never seen before, recorded her and her daughter for around five minutes before the situation escalated.

PSA: Signs went up yesterday on JFK saying the entire BLVD has a 4 hour parking limit from 139 to Secaucus road .. The Zone 16 signs are up on JFK going North , and on JFK coming South from Secaucus road will probably be completed by this evening.


I haven't seen anything saying the BLVD has been zoned.


The side streets around me has seen some enforcement . Maybe once a day someone comes around checking.

Along with the annual fifteen dollar fee for resident zone parking stickers how about we apply a digital process that reads plates and adds a surcharge for a proximity parking tax. The closer you park to your house the more you pay for the privilege ? It is similar to resident parking permits but on a temporary basis.

Here we go again.
The municipality allows wealthy corporate interests to disrupt the lives of ordinary people and other people step up to offer solutions that will infringe on rights that they had (free, available parking) prior to these disruptions.

Why should people offer costly solutions to problems that the administration creates?--doesn't make sense.

I haven't tried to use the ferry yet on the weekend, but let me get this straight. I live by Exchange place and even if my commute is just from Exchange Place to WTC, they still make me pay a PATH fare even if I don't have to ride PATH to get to Exchange Place?

Correct, you pay a PATH fare at Exchange Place to get the round-trip ferry ticket, and on the way back, you don't pay another PATH fare.

I assume you can still buy single ferry tickets (more expensive than PATH fares) or use your monthly pass.

Hello all, I am a new member in this forum and a new resident of (Jersey Heights).
When does this resident permit become effective? Are all streets included in this permit? Earlier a few streets didn't require a permit.

I wish them luck. Hopefully this establishment kissed enough rings at the HCNA and they're not driven from this location and are allowed to remain open more than 2 hours a day by the NIMBYs.

Heights, no one gives two flying fickled fingers of fate about what you think. No one ever has and no one ever will but keep posting, you do give us all a laugh.

I was in the area with lots of people with no free food or alcohol along the river and no one was complaining. Lots of kids playing and people talking to the other people standing or sitting near them. There were plenty of vendors and they were cheap as hell. People in JC will complain about anything and everything.

If property is tax abated, it does not help, that is a contract and the city spends that money as fast as it receives. If it is not tax abatement then it is a ratable, which stabilizes the tax base and the county, schools will get their fair share.

You have NO IDEA what you are talking about, but that has already been established! Ratable or abatement, it is still money to the city. Whatever money the city gets from an abatement, it represents actual "income" which means the city needs to raise less money via regular taxation.

And, of course, there is that little pesky fact you choose to ignore: the abatement payments actually add more money to the city coffers than if the property in question was paying regular taxes. Why don't we talk about that??

Gotta love JCL sometimes.

Why would anybody think a rap concert would start on time @ 8:30? I am sure the producers knew that... an hour late is being very accomodating to a rap audience on a hot night.

I saw Lavarro twitter live.. it wasn't a video of the longest soundcheck ever but it was pretty apparent he was late. Jersey City should be thankful he even showed up.

The fireworks started an hour late due to the ex-convict's concert ending an hour later than expected.

He actually didn't go on till 9:30 and did his full show. Why were you at that show anyway, weren't you one of the ones yammering about shootings? Could it be you knew your own words were absolute bs?

People who use cloth bags should wash them often. Milk, meat and fish should not be in the same bag as fresh produce. JC is on the receiving list of monies from different agencies because some people here have TB, HIV, and STD and their immune system is compromise. A simple food virus can do them in. This is also a problem for cancer patients.

I see there was a fire up Newark Ave (629 - 631 Newark Avenue -- a pair of attached three-story buildings that house a meat market and a Domino's pizza) -- But the fire trucks are also on Newark between 3rd & 4th Street - what is going on there? That is many blocks away from the other area.
