Why isn't Jon Stewart all over this? He and his colleague Jason Jones were both born and raised in Jersey, I assume they would eat this up! Oh how I wish I had a contact at The Daily Show.

This is going to be an AMAZING addition to JC. Whenever I have a morning meeting in Hoboken, I stop into the Choc-O-Pain on 1st St there. The bakery does incredible pasteries (sweet and savory), coffee/tea, breads, sandwiches, quiches, croque monsieurs and soups, all made with fresh ingredients. They also do fun things like king cake for Fat Tuesday. It 's not inexpensive but it's not overpriced IMHO. Another important thing: the French woman who owns it really knows how to run a business. There is always a line of customers, but it moves very quickly due to the well trained and very friendly staff she has in place. Bienvenue a JC Choc-O-Pain y Bon Chance!

A Fox News camera crew was posted outside City Hall around 5:00PM this evening. I thought they were here to cover a City Council meeting, but no, they are here to get JC residents' reactions to the announcement that Jersey Shore will be filming its next season here in JC, using the fire house on Mercer St (next to Marco&Pepe) as their home base.
Hoboken said "no" apparently, but, of course, our City government is approving permits for the shooting to happen, supposedly starting next week (according to Fox news person). Ugh. http://www.myfoxny.com/dpp/news/jerse ... -jersey-city-20120208-akd

I'll never understand why there is never a line in this place when I go in. The food is amazing, you can't beat the prices and the owner makes you feel like you are part of her family.
Just showing this place some love today (BTW, Wednesday is blintz day at Sava Polish Restaurant -- having some right now - YUM - and will have some of her wonderful chicken soup for dinner).

We live very close to VVP and a very large red tailed hawk has made our backyard a new hunting ground.
We've had a birdfeeder back there for years and have enjoyed seeing an amazing variety of birds as they migrate through JC (until now -- I think he's scared them off). Three weeks ago we saw this giant hawk hopping around on the ground and flying from tree to tree; we then spotted him flying away with a small black bird in his talons. I was quite surprised to see such a large hawk hunt a small bird but I guess he was very hungry that day. Have seen him almost every other day since then. He hangs out on our deck railing a lot and I am certain that he is a red tailed hawk. We have stopped filling the bird feeder in the hopes that he will move on...we don't wan't to find any sliced up birdies out back!

Yaga's (the owner's) chicken meatballs are crazy good. If you haven't already tried them, have some with rice or kasha and vegetables and you will be hooked (all for a very reasonable price too)! She is the Polish grandmother I never had!

It will help if we can get the current administration at City Hall voted out (fingers crossed that Steve Fulop will win the next mayoral election). But the only way this will happen is if people, especially in downtown, register to vote and then actually VOTE. Even though it does absolutely nothing to help them, City Hall knows it can rely on the fact that there will always be small business entrepreneurs who are willing to try a venture in downtown JC (despite the expense and frustration of doing so). It seems like City Hall could care less if these new ventures succeed; logic would dictate that City Hall would fall all over itself to ensure that such businesses thrive on their watch. But the level of corruption in our fine state protects City Halls' jobs (and therefore supports JC's lack of progress). The only way for change to really occur is to vote them out.

Speaking from experience, staying alert to what's around you is so much easier said than done, especially on your way home from work when a thousand things are flying through your mind.
I hate to say it, but from a thief's POV, it probably makes sense to go after people on their way home as they are distracted and probably have a "it can't happen to me at this time of day" attitude. One thing that continues to shock me: I see women wearing their earbuds while walking down streets such as Mercer after dark all the time. Ladies, PLEASE TAKE THE EARBUDS OUT -- don't make yourselves easy targets!!!!

Me again. I do not have any more details than those I posted earlier. But to clarify the location: it occurred on the north side (the M&P side) of Mercer Street, in front of the large red brick apartment building right near M&P -- there is a tree or two nearby, and this is the approximate spot where the victim was approached. I did not try to speak to her as she was understandably upset (and was making her report to the police by the time I was passing by). If I can get any other info I will be sure to post it.

On my way home I just walked by a woman making a report to police officers after being robbed at knifepoint on Mercer Street just a few doors down from Marco & Pepe at about 6:20PM this evening. The assailant approached her underneath the trees in front of an apartment building just past the restaurant, threatened her with a knife and then took her bag. Fortunately she was not harmed. Sorry for my lack of more detail here but I wanted to give folks a heads up.

I never cease to be amazed at the greed of the landlords in this area. Yes, I am naive: I think it would make sense to lease out space at a reasonable rate for a short time (3 years?) and then, when businesses start flourishing here, the landlord could argue that the spaces are more valuable thereby rationalizing fair rent increases. This would keep the community happy with nice businesses and the landlord happy with cash flow.
I guess these landlords don't mind that their properties (eyesores) sit empty for years until someone with enough cash (and a slush fund to grease the city inspectors' palms) comes along to try their luck in JC. Guess that's why I'll never be a wealthy landlord. That said, Good luck Duckys and Dumplings -- welcome to JC!

+1.
Thanks to an unleashed dog, my dog, who has a bad back, ended up needing surgery on his spine to address the injury and then had to endure a long, painful recovery. My dog was on his leash -- we were approached by an unleashed dog who ran up behind us, startled my dog and, as a result, caused my dog to jump in such a way that completely screwed up his spine. I am a dog lover but I'm so tired of people who think they can control their dogs when they are off-leash. Keep your dogs on a leash or keep them in a dog run.

Had to replace all of the windows on the south side of our house and got bids from three different window contractors in January. Hansen Brothers did the job in March and we were very very pleased with the price, the product and the installation. There were some custom windows that had to be manufactured and they did an excellent job ensuring a perfect fit. It's a family owned company in North Bergen and they definitely take pride in their work. Phone number is 201.866.4832. I highly recommend them.

Did you try Sava Polish Deli at 346 Grove Street? She has amazing meats (she's very picky with the butcher she sources from); if she doesn't have it I know she would order it for you.
BTW, if you haven't tried her food, I highly recommend that you do. Everytime I serve anything from her restaurant my guests literally eat everything in sight! I also found out that most Polish dishes are made by either baking or boiling the food, meaning that there's actually less fat than you think in such hearty fare. I definitely get my carb-fix here but she has terrific vegetable dishes too (and desserts that are to die for -- apple blintzes, apple fritters, yum...).

Have recently been trying Sava on Grove Street and I am consistently blown away at how terrific and affordable her food is...pierogies, chicken meatballs, stuffed cabbage, chicken stuffed with spinach, potato pancakes, cheese blintzes, I could go on and on. I recently had a small get together and ordered apple blintzes from Sava to serve as dessert. People went crazy over them and there was not one left at the end of the meal! If you have not tried Sava, I highly recommend it (and it seems a lot of other people on this thread feel the same way). We need to support good restaurants like this one in JC!!!!Quote:

Lucy Kaplansky is an amazing live performer -- wish I could go and see her tonight but can't find a babysitter :(.
She's also an interesting person -- after some solid success in the music business she left the industry, pursued a doctorate and began a practice in psychology. Guess this is why her music is so insightful (and beautiful). Highly recommend going to check her out to anyone looking for something to do (and the tix are very affordable). Ten Year Night is one of her best songs.

After 10 years in Miami Beach I returned to NJ and suffered the major increase in taxes but that's part of the price you pay to live in the wonderful Garden State. I'm no CPA but this is the one HUGE issue that ANYONE who becomes an ex-resident of Florida quickly becomes aware of (I think my dog was even aware of it). I know LOTS of people try to evade their NJ/NY/wherever taxes after enjoying those FL perks, but that doesn't make it right. Lopez got caught and should be in jail, not trying to have this dismissed by the court. But, as someone wrote earlier, it sounds like her lawyer is just buying time... muffintops wrote: ....the letter informing Lopez of her mistake “recognizes that taxpayers are often not aware of the legal requirements for the exemption,” Northgrave wrote.... Even me, a joe-ette schmoe regular working person who's from Florida (who moved to NJ about 5 years ago) knows that you can't use FL to get out of paying your NJ state income taxes and milk those lovely FL resident perks (there are quite a few). I knew it from day one. She committed tax fraud - why isn't she in prison?
