I'm guessing some of you did not see the video of Healy peppering his food at this luncheonette.

It would be a much better story if Healy was in there when it happened or maybe if Healy was driving the car that hit it...all the while applying copious amounts of pepper to his egg salad.

Maybe since it's a nothing story, throwing in some nonsensical humor is the best way to go. Papers have margins to fill, you know, gotta get that extra half inch somewhere.

What a great news story!

They wonder why nobody buy's the Journal anymore!!

What the hell is that last paragraph doing in this story? The two preceding ones are pretty pointless too.

The building doesn't seem to have sustained much damage, right now you wouldn't know anything had happened. They were much luckier than Bred in Jersey.

Luncheonette where Jersey City Mayor Healy met with Solomon Dwek takes hit -- from SUV

An SUV driven by a Fairview woman plowed into the Jersey City luncheonette where Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy famously broke bread with FBI informant Solomon Dwek.

A Jersey City luncheonette that gained some notoriety as the place where Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy chowed down with an FBI informant last year was hit hard over the weekend -- by an SUV.

A Toyota 4Runner plowed into the Medical Center Luncheonette at the corner of Montgomery Street and Baldwin Avenue at 2:55 a.m. Saturday, reports said.

The driver, Emila Garcia, 40, of Walker Street in Fairview, who borrowed the vehicle from a North Bergen resident, was issued several summonses, including failure to show her driver's license or insurance papers, reports said.

She was taken to the new Jersey City Medical Center on Grand Street with non-life threatening injuries, reports said.

The luncheonette takes its name from the original Medical Center, which used to be located across the street in what is now the Beacon condo complex.

Healy was included in a meeting at the luncheonette early last year with Solomon Dwek, the FBI informant at the center of the sting that led to 46 arrests on money-laundering and political corruption charges.

Included in that meeting was former Jersey City Deputy Mayor Leona Beldini who was found guilty this year for accepting $20,000 in illegal campaign contributions from Dwek.
Healy has not been charged with any crimes.

Healy's meeting with Dwek at the luncheonette was marked by the copious amount of pepper he, the mayor, seemed to be applying to his potato salad.
