I'm also interested to see what people have to say about Centro - has anyone used them before?

Why can't the people on this site discuss anything - tacos, ice cream, dog grooming, road paving... without turning it into a war of semantics and grammar correction?

Torico is finally open again, it's summer, their product is awesome. Yuppies are the reason a place like this can stay closed to invest in their property for an extended period of time and still afford to open again.

Enjoy the mamey, it's delicious.

New Jersey is suspending its controversial red light camera program to further study whether the cameras, which have frustrated motorists while generating millions of dollars for towns, meet standards for the timing of yellow lights.

Officials with the state Department of Transportation said today that 63 of the 85 red light cameras in the state — including all 19 in Newark — have not been tested to ensure yellow lights were timed in full accordance with state standards.

Tickets will not be issued at those 63 locations until it is determined whether the cameras are in compliance with the law. The other 22 cameras are in compliance.

The yellow lights are expected to stay lit one second for every 10 mph — 3.5 seconds in the case of an intersection where the speed limit is 35 mph.

In addition, the standards call for towns to study the speed at which vehicles approach the intersection before determining how long the yellow lights stay lit, taking into account the speed at which 85 percent of the drivers travel through the intersection. For 63 of the 85 cameras in 21 towns, those speeds had not been determined before the towns received approval to install the red light cameras.

Assemblyman Declan O’Scanlon Jr. (R-Monmouth) said motorists have been caught in the red lights and fined because the yellow lights may have been incorrectly timed.

"It’s a good victory for the motorists of New Jersey," he said.

The towns where the red light cameras will remain in limbo are Newark, Linden, Wayne, Palisades Park, Union Township, Springfield, Roselle Park, Rahway, Englewood Cliffs, Pohatcong, Piscataway, Edison, East Windsor, Lawrence, Cherry Hill, Stratford, Monroe, Brick and Glassboro, Jersey City (one camera of 13) and Woodbridge (one camera of four).

they posted this on facebook on 3/15... no indication they're done:

"Thank you all for your continued patience. We are doing our best to be able to open as soon as we are able. I will definitely post once I have a date. We are really looking forward to seeing you all!"

looks like this place is closed now. that didn't last long.

If this thread survives and the 'how to fry a turkey for thanksgiving' thread that everyone loved has been killed forever, I will be shocked.

I always enjoy Fernandes Steakhouse - they had a fire a while back and haven't been there since (not sure if they're open again - might want to call). Good dishes, great rodizio, terrible decor. I've never taken the PATH there, but I don't think it's terribly close.

Saw on twitter that the Krave truck is opening a restaurant in JC - any one know details? http://thekrave.tumblr.com/

Has anyone ordered from PH recently? We're having people over tomorrow and I'm trying to decide on them or John's (never had either). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Fitting that Taqueria and Park&Sixth and on complete opposite ends of Grove St. - THIS is how you communicate with your clientele

Park and Sixth

It might have been metrodogs - we use them (def recommend them) and I know they live in PH.

anyone know if this guy moved his cart to another spot or opened a business? Those sandwiches were awesome

Went there the other night and couldn't believe how terrible the service was. Order took forever and there had to be about 7-10 employees walking around, going outside for smoking breaks, and watching TV. The owner is crazy paranoid with what is written online, so hopefully he's reading this site and makes some changes fast. Easily one of the most inefficient cluster-Fs i've seen in a long time (with the exception of Hard Grove on 5/5 - woof).

Has anyone dealt with silkscreeners in the area since this thread was last updated in '09? We're looking to have some tote bags screened and want someone cheap with good quality, but not necessarily fancy. Thanks in advance.

+1 for Moss. The man is hardcore

Saw a sign in the window that Rainbow shops in going in here. Looks like more of the same.... http://www.rainbowshops.com/index2.html

More than 300 entities girding for bout over natural-gas pipeline's extension
Friday, January 28, 2011
Question: What do the Urban League of Hudson County, St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Jersey City, the Village Neighborhood Association, the New Jersey Sierra Club, and the City of Jersey City all have in common?

Answer: A pipeline.

These five entities are among more than 300 residents, companies, nonprofits, religious institutions, and governmental entities that have filed for intervenor status in the case of Spectra Energy's proposed 15.5-mile natural-gas pipeline expansion.

The deadline to file for intervenor status - which gives these entities the right to litigate if the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approves the expansion - was yesterday.

A FERC spokeswoman told The Jersey Journal earlier this month that the commission is compiling information for an environmental-impact statement regarding the pipeline's proposed expansion.

The plan is for the pipeline to snake through Bayonne, Jersey City, and offshore Hoboken before heading into New York.

The Jersey City Board of Education and the City of Hoboken have also filed to be intervenors.

The City of Bayonne has not filed papers. The city has concerns about the project but has had an ongoing dialogue with Spectra about those issues, Bayonne spokesman Joe Ryan said yesterday.

Spectra project director Ed Gonzales said it's "not unusual" for so many groups to file as intervenors for projects of this magnitude.

"That's fine. That's just part of the process," Gonzales said.

Spectra hopes to begin construction on the expansion by April 2012.

I really like this place - good spicy food and a decent decor, excellent prices. Shame to see someone would try to pass this off in their first post ever.

Went there for a 2nd time on Friday and was surprised to see how many tables they got around 11pm - great food, a lot of unique things like octopus and quail that you don't see at too many places in the area.

Seeing how this thread hasn't been updated in quite some time, does anyone have recommendations for a locksmith? looking for someone to put in a deadbolt in a metal door. Thanks

Ate there last weekend and was thoroughly impressed. Delicious sangria, good service, fantastic octopus and everything else we had was great too. Although they call many of their plates tappas, they're actually a decent size, especially when compared to the NYC definition of tappas.

Had a party Saturday night and ordered 50 pork and 50 chicken dumplings - everything came on time, hot, and delicious. Highly recommend - especially if you go there and talk to them, they'll cut you a deal for larger orders. Be aware though, they don't take credit cards yet.

Yeah I think so - they said that they weren't going to change the inside that much, mostly just exterior and the upstairs space.

Just a heads up to all you Torico lovers out there - this weekend's the last days of the season before Torico's closes for renovations and winter. Was in there Sunday and they're already out of a lot of flavors.

I moved in about 2 months ago and totally agree with Mary. The apartments are really nice, the only 'cheap' thing is the flooring, which gets dented VERY easily. Everything else is beautiful and a lot nicer than what we saw at similar apartments at The Saffron, etc.

Has anybody been to Port-o at the corner of Newark and 1st? I read a sign on their door that said they're only open a couple nights a week for tapas and it always looks dark in there.
