We don't go to Central Park, Liberty State Park, VV Park, etc. and litter & make late night noise. It is a matter of education & enforcement, not a matter of demographics or geography.

I would also have a huge problem with someone saying that the basketball players would be out muggling & killing people if they weren't plyaing basketball. Please, don't put words in my mouth. Yes, a big applause to Phil & Dave. And other park goers whom I've witnessed picking up trash.

My problem with most complaints on this thread has been exactly that. I get that there is a litter problem and late night noise issues, but the language used here like hooligans, undesirables, kids from other neighborhoods, etc. urks me to no end.

Hamilton Inn is one of my top three favorite restaurants in JC. It is priced very reasonably and service has been always good. Appetizer & main course for two for $45 is cheap if you ask me. The drinks are awesome, and bartenders have been friendly and attentive when I sit at the bar. The kitchen seems on top of it. I never had to wait too long for food. I like that they make an effort of keeping the outside and inside always clean & beautiful. Try turkey burger, pan-fried salmon, fish taco and lobster pizza. They are all excellent. Overall, it is up there with Marco & Peppe and Lighthorse Tavern for me but cheaper and definitely friendlier.

The basketball court has been there for years. Those who bought the properties on that side of the park knew what they were getting into so I don't think it is fair to say the basketball court devalues the properties on the park. If anything, the renovation of the park has probably added some value to every property on the park and the neighborhood in general. However, I agree that the court should close at a certain hour.
It is really great that we all take ownership to this park and the park is for everyone. Everyone in JC contributes a part of their tax money to renovate and maintain the public parks. By the way, WTF, the basketball court and whorehouse?

I agree with Rachel. I am surprised to read some of the things said in this thread. Rachel, JC is quite progressive so give it a chance. However, it is newly renovated and prestine so it is understandable that people are upset about the garbage left behind in park.
By the way, does anyone know how often the city cleans the park and empties the trash cans in the park? The cans in the dog runs were overflowing this afternoon.

I can't take this tease anymore. Open the damn park! Fence off the area they are still working on. The trees are in bloom, the grass getting greener, sun beaming down, kids & dogs staring in hungrily but no park. What up???
I'm all for the BBC. I read more profanity here than I hear when passing the court. Besides, it brings more diversity & urban coolness to the area; Lord knows we need it. I think dogs should be on leash when they are not in the runs. But no matter, just open the park!

I am quite impressed with its atmosphere, cocktails and food. The new owner has done a wonderful job revamping the sports bar with mediocre food to an excellent restaurant with unique list of drinks. I was with a group of people talking, having a good time that I didn't resally notice the music. I am sure with time, they will find the right note. I am very happy with it. An excellent addition to the neighborhood. It will do very well here.

I haven't been able to eat there yet but the menu looks really good. Nothing fancy but a 'comfort food' restaurant. They deliver too so I am happy they opened in our neighborhood.

To say these businesses won't do well even before they open is pretty passimistic. I think Jersey City can support better businesses like Smith & Chang and soon-to-open (fingers crossed) Hamilton Inn. There are enough people who prefer to shop and eat at quality establishments than at the mall and 99C stores; me for an example. I know there are people who have lived in JC for many years on this board and I am only a recent transplant, but I believe we should embrace the changes for the better in the new Jersey City and encourage entrepreneurs to invest here. Oh, and of course, it isn't SOHO here. That's why I moved here. As far as Embankment is concerned, I am quite happy with their happy hour.

Last time I heard which was a couple of weeks ago, it was to be the first week of Feb. I hope it does. I had to walk all the way to Marco & Pepe from Hamilton Park to be rejected at the door because the wait was too long last weekend.

I went in Smith & Chang General Goods (a very cool store) and I heard people saying there will be a bakery on the parkside soon. I'm glad new things are happening in the neighborhood. It's about time! Now, we need the park to reopen.

Waht a shame. It is a civil rights issue, and if it were left to the majority, the minorities including women and blacks would not have obtained equal rights in the 60's. Those who oppose gay marriage will realize in time they had stood on the wrong side of history. A terrible shame.

I like seeing younger people everywhere in JC; hipster or IT geek, I don't care. They bring certain freshness to the neighborhood and they probably spend more money on coffee, food, drinks, clothes, etc. than others. I think lux condos and young people both add to the desirability of the city. I'm for both!

Well, the real estate market nationwide and even worldwide is not in its best shape, but I'd say JC market is holding up pretty well in comparison.

The Tokyo video is scary.
I only hate PATH on weekends. The weekend night services are the worst. It can take an hour to get home after midnight. The stop at Hoboken is just not right. I see more and more people using PATH. When there are this many users, Port Authority should schedule more services on weekends and no more Hoboken & JC in one service. Also, install fans or AC for the train stations. It is inhumane and dangerous how hot it gets in those stations.
