I know what you mean. I emailed the real estate group about five times in the last year to see if I could call dibs on it from whoever bought the building. Never heard back, which I'm not that surprised by.

Synergy is closed for good as of this morning. The gate is down, the lights are off and there's a note inside the window citing Hurricane Sandy damages as the reason. Club Metro on Washington is honoring all current memberships.

Walked by last night out of curiosity and ended up staying for dinner. We got a standard margherita and a farm pizza, which had fennel and onion. The pizza was really good. Brick oven style with good balance of cheeses and thin dough. The crust made the whole pie. It's slightly burnt and crispy, similar to Franny's in Prospect Heights or Porta Pizza in Asbury. The other pizzas on the menu looked good and ranged from about $12.50 to $16 for an 11" pie. They also had a bread order on the menu (?) which I assume was pretty special but I wasn't about to pay for it. There were a few beers and wine as well.
It's not a cheap slice, but definitely one of the best pizzas I've had in town. Also the interior looks nice. It's essentially the same layout as Bar Majestic but with a big oven in the back and the booths have been replaced by small tables. That space more inviting now that they opened it up. Service was excellent and the owner came up to thank us for trying it on opening night. We'll be back.

From Home by the Range's facebook page:
Quote: I regret to inform everyone that effective immediately I will no longer be serving lunch in Jersey City. Unfortunately, a variety of factors including moving to a new location, low demand (as a result) and expiring permits have led me to this decision. I want to thank everyone in Jersey City who has supported me and the Home By The Range brand since 2011! It seems the city's punitive food truck ordinance continues to have its desired effect. You know it's bad when NYC's permits seem workable as an alternative.

Did that landlord finally budge? I've heard the rates for the commercial space in that building are astronomical.

The City Council already has a terrible record when it comes to supporting the arts community and the principles of its "Arts" district. How they vote on this agreement does not change that. No one should take much solace in the idea that council might not yield any further concessions in this already tragic episode. That even some council members have "reluctantly" voiced support for the agreement is disappointing.

I was under the impression that the weekend schedule is due to the WTC construction. I overheard a train operator say the PA won't be able to operate all four lines on weekends, or fully upgrade the apparently dying signal system, until the tower is done. And even then, it's not a priority.

I walked by it the other night and the little girl was making a break for it. One of the owners ran and grabbed her before she got too far down the street, but it seems like it probably happens pretty frequently.
I haven't been tempted to go back after my first visit. The family tableau was kind of novel as performance art at first but the baby screaming and crying was awful. Also it took about half an hour to get four dumplings, in large part because no one bothered to notice the completed order behind the counter for 15 minutes.

I see some shrewd business owners in JC are cashing in on all the free publicity. They made TMZ and don't even have to deal with the show production.

It might be time to step back a little. To the the people who are super furious about this, I assume it's because you don't like the idea that the highest visibility your city is going to get is through the filter of a sleazy reality TV show.
But think about it, do you really care what either of the two following groups think about where you live: a) the people who are dedicated fans of 'Jersey Shore,' the show you can't stand b) the people who believe a sleazy reality TV show is going to provide an accurate depiction of the city it's in? Just roll with it. Walk the other way when you see the cameras coming and laugh at the ladies when the season finally airs.

Jersey City joins an odd lot of host cities for this show. How often would you put Seaside Heights, Miami, Florence and JC in the same sentence?
Given that there aren't any clubs here, I wonder if the producers will fashion some kind pop-up club in a warehouse downtown. At the very least, they can put a disco ball in Healy's Tavern.
