Thank you! I'm really hoping to be more dessert-and pastry-focused than bread-focused, because 1. desserts/pastries are more fun to make, and 2. I would have a very hard time offering good quality breads at a decent price. Especially with the Balthazar wholesale bread supplier being in Edison, it would be much more time and cost efficient to purchase breads from a reputable, high quality supplier.
I'm actually applying for an internship position at Payard out in Las Vegas! I love the style of desserts there and it would obviously be a great experience.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Hopefully I win the lottery in the near future or something so that I can open up a place!

Hi everyone!
I'm a culinary school student (and former pastry chef at GO on the corner of 5th & Jersey) and I'm thinking about opening my own bakery here in a few years. I'm working on a marketing plan as a part of a project at the moment, and I could really use your help by just answering a few simple questions.
I'd ideally love to have a place in the Grove street area that's a go-to spot for coffee, tea, and breakfast pastries in the morning, as well as salads and soups (with homemade bread) for lunch, on top of a full array of great tasting cakes, tarts, cupcakes, cookies, etc.
So if you have a few minutes and you're in the mood to help out a fellow Jersey Cityian, I would really appreciate it.

Police headquarters is only 4 blocks away, and the medical center is 3... the cops and paramedics could have walked to Brownstone and had some pancakes first and still gotten there in less than 32 minutes.

I'm really hoping the teens that did it are not from this area, teens around here don't need their reputation made even worse for them. As a teen who walks home around that time a few nights a week, this news is terrifying. I really wish there was something that could be done to make our entire neighborhood, especially the park, a lot safer.
