in all of my time living in JC and perusing real estate ads on craigslist.org i have never seen these places listed, personally. are you saying that you have? i consider ads by management on craigslist for this level of housing to be rather humbling.

there are lots of ads for rentals on craigslist.org for units in avalon cove and portside, and while these may or may not be considered newport proper, they are waterfront luxury properties and should be a possible indication of where the trend is heading.
if the city and developers invested more time and money supporting affordable, moderately priced housing, they would see that there returns would never sour because people always look for decent competitively priced places to live.

yesterday i, and at least one other person saw a "wolf pack" of 5 to 7 teenagers tampering with the doors at second street cycle.
please contact the authorities when you see something like this. it is important to our safety to be alert when we encounter something like this or the park harrasser. we don't need to be street vigilantes, but a call to the non-emergency number never hurts, regardless of what you think of the JCPD. and to anyone who thinks that "italian village" is some way to sell condos, go into pecoraro's or 2nd street deli and tell the people there that!

i have lived around here for about two years and i love it.
pretty quiet but not too far from good food, good bars and my good friends. my fiance leaves pretty early in the morning for the PATH and i he has never complained of anything odd. coming home late at night is another thing. i havent walked home alone since i moved up here particularly late at night (past 1 am) so i couldn't vouch for it personally. when we are ready to buy a place, and if we decide to stay in jersey city, i hope i can afford to live in this nabe, and i will leave it at that :D hey alb, is that your brightly colored child who likes to wave at my cat in the warmer months?? oh, it could be another kid :D

have i given love for coach house lately?
here is a great article with interviews of the family who has run the place since 1939. whether or not it has a salad bar, it still has atmosphere of a diner without the tackiness of a wanna-be place like the park west in totowa.

i dont know what sort of chips you like to perch on your shoulder, but there are many sides to every actually plausable story.
if you feel like everyone is going to look at you sideways for whatever reason, whether its your race, your gender, your sexual orientation, because you have a giant zit on your face or because you have a redonkulous booger in your nose, then guess what--THEY WILL! paranoia is a destroyer. the real issue is when is that part of the sidewalk going to get paved so that dog crap doesnt get mixed in with the gravel??

honestly i think you are being oversensitive for making the acquaintance of a singular person. if you picked the Lamp Post to be an epicenter for race bias, i think you are CLEARLY barking up the wrong tree. sorry if your one visit made you think this, but i have seen young and old of all shades come in there and eat, drink what have you. hell, i have seen them make popcorn for the kids while they play trivia. when they have bands, there can be an edgier element, but in general, its very much a local pub sorta feel with the whole range. are you very young, like "maybe you shouldn't be in a bar" young? because that sounds like the closest reason as to why anyone would stare at you (unless they were just a weirdo).

i live in the same general neighborhood, although not as close to the bars as 1st and brunswick.
its generally quiet, although if you are easily intimidated by loud, but essentially harmless teenagers, as seem to be around from time to time, then you might be a bit skittish. there are alot of old timers/long-time residents around, especially during the day, which makes me feel safe, even if it is quiet. i dont worry particularly about walking around at night, in this area, as i would on say erie or newark where it seems like more muggings are reported, but except on rare occasions, i am not out that late, and if i am, i take a taxi. depending on what NYC suburbs (i lived in yonkers for a few years, not much different, IMHO) you are living in, this may or may not be much of a culture shock, but definitely get a feel by walking around at all different times of the day or night. good luck, and i hope you find what you are looking for :D

i used to be a voracious reader (and writer) but it seems like as time goes on, my attention span gets turned to other things. i read a good portion of House of Leaves, and i stopped somewhere in the middle because i sort of get obsessive when looking for patterns and coincidences in books, so where i didn't creep myself out, i totally have a tendency to do so. Bowl of Cherries is by millard kaufmann who is one of the creators of mr. magoo. he decided by chance to write a novel, its very funny and i love his use of language. it sort of reminds me alot of a lost vonnegut book, but i figure its because the two are contemporaries that make the similarities so striking. i started listening to haunted as an audio book, but the readers were annoying, i suppose i will just have to attempt to read it. i love susanna clarke too. i hope she can manage another novel from world she has created.

i wish there was a way to get the word out to everyone who works outside in the cold and needs a decent hot meal at a more than fair price.
also, with the price of everything rising, i dont think it would be horrible if the prices were raised. this is very odd to hear since when we went on friday at 4 there was barely a pierogi in the place, and she said it was too busy to make more...

pierogies are potato dumplings. think of raviolis that are filled with potato, mushroom or cheese and sauteed in carmelized onions.
stuffed cabbage is yummy. sava's has ground meat and rice inside. i kinda miss mushroom gravy on the one that i had, but the carmelized onions and mushroom pierogies almost make up for it. stuffed peppers are similar, but often have some tomato or mushroom gravy on top as well looks like she has meatloaf, meatballs, goulash, kielbasa (smoked sausage) with sauerkraut etc. polish food is probably best for a person who likes "meat and potatoes" because much of the dishes are based on both of those items. its very earthy food that sticks to your ribs.

in paulus hook, and not delivering, pretty much at all, but totally worth the trip are
two aprons and kitchen cafe two aprons is great because you can always take away a lb. of fresh hummus or muhammara. also never underestimate the drawing power of 2nd. Street Deli's sandwiches and stuffed rolls. never go to 2nd street or two aprons when you are in a rush because these are old school places where they make your food when you order it...

yeah, i am pretty sure that you can keep your garbage in a trash can, without people going thru it. also, people dont generally steal your outdoor decorations or smash bottles on your front porch. JC is like the wild west in that respect. property taxes are also higher for the same property value, but then again, you actually have decent public utilites and services, and they use real evergreen swags to decorate the main street and village with. yup. it amazes me that people tolerate incessant comparisons with brooklyn but get irritated when maplewood gets brought up.
