The zoning board hearing for 107 NY Ave is now scheduled for Wed 3/11 at 6:30pm at city hall.

Live music, fire dancers, projections, beer truck, and live art on Historic Holland St this Friday (corner of Bowers and Palisade). 6/9 7pm-10pm.

The cleaners just south of Griffith across from Palisade Lumber is very good.

Went last night. Very disappointed, food was sub par, ribs and chicken were very dry with no discernible dry rub on the ribs (I could only taste salt on the undercooked chewy ribs). No bbq sauce except for store bought. Dry flavorless rice. Salmon was pretty good but overcooked and the fries were decent. Hopefully they can figure out how to do real open pit Portuguese bbq like they do in Newark. Also, it's very clear that no competent management is running the restaurant. Too bad as the place is nicely designed and with good food and better management it could be a great place.

This is the new Indian restaurant that took over the old Casa Dante space. I had dinner there the other night and I have to say it's the best Indian meal I've had in Jersey City (I have eaten at almost every place in little india). Definitely more northern Indian style but the food really is at another level. Very pleasantly surprised by this place. Hopefully it's consistent through future visits.
