My buddy actually spoke to someone working on the place, and they mentioned it was going to be a "burger+bar/event space on weekends" place.

That is a prime corner. I hope they have a creative idea that will work. It'd be cool to have a nice bar on that corner with big windows that open up.

Yes. Two times. We need a good, classic diner, with decent coffee and a 25 page menu.

There is a new diner style place in JC.... the old Pink Flamingo (Dirty Bird) is back... New name / owner but the food is great. open late hours.

Oh awesome, they kept it a diner(ish)? Word on these pages was it had plans to go fancy(esque).

The new City Diner is excellent, but not exactly your typical NJ diner. It is a bit higher end. I wouldn't call it fancy. Just modern.

In general, I prefer sticking hot pokers in my eyes than making my way up to Edgewater. There must be powerful tax incentives to build massive amounts of shopping in god forsaken places like Edgewater and Tonnelle in N Bergen.

There's a chain called Baja Fresh that's similar, but my fave is a small chain in Oregon called Senor Sams. Here's their menu. http://senorsams.com/menu/

Future makes a decent burrito for a chinese takeout, but this would be better.

They are opening a Manhattan Bagel in Bayonne on 33rd...for those who care. Never tried their bagels.

Well, like I said, not for everyone. I'm low rent. They could sell Lender's Bagels (the current, vastly inferior post-murray incarnation) and I'd be ok.

Well their food was OK but I agree, too damned expensive. Any number of possibilities for this prime "restaurant row" space, but please, no more pizza and wings establishments. (Same goes for nail salons and dry cleaners). However, it might be nice for another bagel/breakfast joint to open up, I don't think the 15 person lines for giant bread-y bagels at WonderBagel are merited. Just a suggestion.
