Looking forward to trying Ahris. Its always great to have a new addition to the neighborhood.

Kraverie and Bon Chon are both great spots and each has it's own style. I don't think they can really be compared... Be cool to competitors and new neighbors.

Good Luck!

will this place open on Monday (Dec 1) or did the permit situation cause a delay?

They are not opening Dec 1. Because of red tape they might not open until spring.

I am really bummed especially since i donated through kickstarter...........was so looking forward to this place.

Another disappointing kickstarter. I want to contribute to so many of them but this is the reason I don't.

Raval will be there as well.

They are still working on the restaurant just not happening as fast as they wanted because of permit issues. They will be at Project Market 12/6 and 12/7 in city hall plaza. Come and get a preview of the food to come at the restaurant.

Thread hijack: I'm really excited to get started after reading your posts. I have a rod and tacklebox and NO knowledge. Hopefully the guys at the store can clue me in.

No hijack, Webbie has declared this the "fishing" thread though he declines to change the linkbait title. As for getting started, at least as far as the pier it's real easy. Assuming your gear is heavy enough for this game, get bunker (large baitfish) sinkers and large (7-0 to 10-0) hooks at tackle store, and go to the pier and fling big chunks of bunker out there. After that it's largely time and luck. Better yet, before doing anything go chat up the guys fishing, soaking bait is pretty boring and most are happy to tell you what they know.

NY/NJ coastal waters are, actually, among the cleanest in the US. The Hudson River where we live is ocean water. It receives 6' of tide, 4x per day. It's a big washing machine. Unless it has rained heavily within 24 hours, the water in our area is really not very nasty at all.

Another point ... the fish that swim in NY Harbor off the coast of Jersey City are migratory by nature. For instance, one popular species to catch is the striped bass - a striped bass caught off Exchange Place could have been in Cape May a week ago, or Cape Cod last year. Another popular fishing species - the fluke (summer flounder) spends its winters in the depths of the ocean, way out, and comes inshore in the warmer months.

If you don't eat local fish in general, that's another story. But the fish caught here in our harbor are really no different than the ones caught in Montauk or the Jersey Shore. These fish don't stay in one place.

Having grown up and still working near Fort Lee and Pal Park, I've had my fair share of authentic Korean food... the menu looks solid! Will there be ban chan served prior to the meal?

Actually, you do. It's not really a license though, they call it a registry, and it is free. Here's the link: http://www.nj.gov/dep/saltwaterregistry/

People under age 16 are exempt. Also, if you don't have it, you are probably not going to get in trouble, especially fishing from land, and especially in Jersey City which is a place that Game and Wildlife officials are not known to randomly roam around checking for that sort of thing.

The ship store across the Morris Canal at Liberty Landing Marina has some basic fishing stuff and there is also Moe's Tackle in JC Heights. For a bigger selection of stuff there is Capitol Bait and Tackle on 36th Street, really convenient to the 33rd St stop.

The menu is looking good!

I am so happy to see Bibim Naeng Myun on the menu as it's one of my favorite dishes.

As a non-Korean who is used to ordering Korean food in Korean restaurants, could you be sure to put the transliterated name of each dish on your menu?

It's really helpful when ordering in a Korean restaurant, especially when you can't read Korean.

Simply seeing Kimbap, Sundubu Jjigae, Galbi, Bibimbap, etc. helps with ease in ordering as opposed to reading the English name and trying to determine the analogous Korean dish (which is what I am currently doing with your online menu).

In K-town, almost all restaurants feature the transliterated names of each dish, but it can be frustrating and more of a guessing game when the occasional restaurant doesn't do it (like they do at Pocha 32, for example).

Another question...

Will your menu be featuring Japchae?

I have a ridiculous question about the $5,000 pledge level. I'm just curious, it says:

"You and your best buddy, or significant other, or some random person you found on the street: come eat with us, for 5 years. And order anything you want, really. Shirts and hats as well."

How often for five years? On every full moon? Thanks.

For most kids, summer vacation is a time for playing sports, hanging with friends and maybe even a part-time job.

But for 10 Jersey City high school students with a passion for art, this summer has been spent painting murals and learning from experienced artists ? all while getting paid.

Since the Jersey City Mural Arts Program hired teens ages 15 to 18 as summer apprentices, the group has collaborated on four public art projects throughout the city.

The students were hired through Jersey City Summer Works program and worked three days a week at $8.25 an hour.

"We all have fun," said Maya Sanders, 15, who is participating in the program. "It's great when you work with different people who are already pros at doing murals."

Among the diverse artists participating in the program are Hungarian-born mural artist Kati Vilim, Montclair-native mural artist Catherine Hart, Mana Contemporary Arts-based artist Bradley Ehrsa and Alvin Petit, the Bethune Center director.
