maybe it's just me, but being that both incarnations of the restaurant look like a cafeteria with staff, neither nha trang nor TH strike me as the kind of place i'd go to get my butt kissed with good service. it's always kind of light hearted and laughable, just like the crazy blonde waitress that used to be at la rustique. at nha trang my friends and i generally just ask for the dishes we want as appetizers without mentioning our "main course" until the first plates come out. no big whoop. had the same experience at TH, but we go for the solid food and that's it.

brick haus is okay. i switched from a cheaper gym to brick haus because the cheaper gym was way too crowded, an issue that i have never had at brick haus and i always go at peak hours. i've always felt it was clean and the bootcamp and yoga instructors are awesome. i haven't felt that way about some of the other instructors, enough that i eventually quit going to those sessions (bummer). i would consider renewing there because i keep hearing that club H is worse, but i don't LOVE the place. i was pretty bent after i didn't renew IMMEDIATELY when my membership expired and the owner tried to get me to pay a hidden and somewhat large 'new member fee' with my renewal, even though all my information was still on file and he recognized me and asked where i'd been. lame. it gets the job done though.

my guess is that PATH isn't racist, the conductor was. and that possibly the JSQ-bound trains are more crowded because people are using the JSQ line to transfer to the NWK line from midtown.
re: trash cans: in europe i've seen metal hoops in subway stations that hold clear plastic trash bags. large items cannot fit into the hoops, and you can obviously see the contents through the clear bags. i'm sure that PATH could figure out a trash solution, but with the price of rides consistently increasing i'd rather it not be at my expense.

I live above an immigrant family of 6 whose apartment had 5 feet of water during the storm. After the storm, they dried out their things and went right back in. The landlord wants to gut the place, but the family refuses to move out, insisting it is fine but only because they have nowhere else to go. Meanwhile, my apartment upstairs smells like a dead body and the roaches and mice from their place are now overwhelming. The allergic reactions I've been having from their dirt and mildew getting into the air have made it inhabitable. My roommates and I have talked to the family, but the father is a stubborn man and now appearing somewhat delusional. The landlord is being extremely soft on them since they will be homeless and hasn't made a strong effort to get them out. We have withheld rent but I would much rather be able to live in my own apartment. Surely they can't just refuse forever, this has to be some sort of health violation? Any advice is appreciated.

that intersection of grand and marin turned into a dangerous rapid river during the storm. edwards had to have had at least 5 feet of water, and i'm pretty sure cicada had even more. i saw some people jumping ship from cicada around 7pm that night while the water was at their waists, and it only went up from there.

jeez. i'm the first person to throw out the "move to the suburbs" card over trivial stuff, but having lived along the bolivian parade route in the past i will vouch that while it is a BEAUTIFUL parade, it is unbearably loud. forget trying to make a phone call from inside your own home. the noise BEAMS through every orifice of the walls like nothing i've ever heard. you pretty much have to split town for the afternoon if you plan on being able to even think about anything that isn't the parade. i love city live and all the different events it brings to our neighborhood and i have an extreme amount of "urban patience" but i don't think that because this is a city it doesn't mean people aren't allowed to have ANY quality of life concerns. don't go away, just take the amps off of 11.

i've been going here for years and have even previously praised them on this thread. but i ordered here sunday night, my receipt reflects a $25 charge and they ended up running my card for $27 as my bank statement shows. i don't mind rude service and even found humor in the list of things they DON'T have, but scamming customers for an extra buck or two crosses the line. NEXT!

i've been a tried and true c-town hater for some time so i really didn't expect to find myself in key foods ever either, but i will throw in a thumbs up for them. i've searched supermarkets high and low in this area for the salsa i ate in costa rica - lizano - but couldn't find it ANYWHERE (i swear, i tried) which surprised me given the large hispanic population. last week i found myself closest to key foods needing a few items and was SHOCKED to find my beloved lizano salsa right there on the shelf. boom. best surprise.
oh, and it's clean and has fresh produce and all that now too :)

a lot of the 'nice' restaurants in JC are very meat-heavy restaurants. i could take mom and dad out to dinner with no problem, but not so much a visiting vegetarian or vegan friend.

when i click that, it takes me to a page where i should "select" the amount of trips to add, but there are no options available. just a submit button. then when i press it, it says there is an error. my account must be broken or something. i've tried to register for a new account but it says my card is already registered, sooo. i guess i was just wondering if i was the only one unable to use the feature.

i was walking down grove street towards wayne when this happened. there were three gunshots, but i couldn't see anything. as i got closer to wayne, everyone was going about their business like nothing happened! i saw the ambulances and asked one bystander what happened so i knew it was definitely a gun, but no one else seemed even phased by the whole thing.
