Naw... we figure we are performing a public service helping you get your head out of your butt. Otherwise you will run amok through JC List threads searching for microaggressions like Captain Ahab searching for Moby Dick, the great white whale.

Actually the people who complain about "micro aggressions" are usually the people with their own head firmly planted in their ass. That's why it bothers you so much to have to try and wrap your head around a different perspective that is outside your comfort zone.

Hey, there is a nice civil thread going on about the Cicada. Then some arrogant dope contributes by calling people racist because we were using a product name called Chinese Fire Water?. and that person says he is still offended after being totally discredited. So we are supposed to excuse the terrible accusation? The guy never even apologized. That?s right liberals wouldn?t admit to an error in judgement, they would change it to facilitating a ?learning moment?
Thanks for your useful contributions though, incoherent as they read.

Don't worry- your opposition to learning anything new is very apparent. Keep that head firmly planted!

Not surprising someone like you would defend a SJW troll under the guise of "learning something new."

I await the feminist response....

Great to hear and not unexpected. I am sure JCman24 will chime once she/he unwinds from her/his fetal pretzel position and crawls out of thier safe space recovering from another microagression suffered walking on Newark Ave. I don't want to offend just because a gender free ID was not used.

Similar question.

Does it seem a little unscrupulous to enforce alternate side parking when 25%+ of Hamilton park streets are closed?

Does the city have a policy on this?

(I got ticketed twice the past two weeks, super frustrating)

I agree. I have said this for years. Most of the parking around H.P. was taken "just in case" for the construction of the giant crane at Hamilton Place. They should "green zone" certain streets. When they hang the no parking signs the same people should post green zone signs to indicate that only permit parking will be enforced on the nearby streets but not street sweeping. It's really quite simple. Also, who the F**K coordinates the street closures in Jersey City? A retarded caveman? It's decidedly uncoordinated and random and the cops assigned to it are basically useless at directing traffic. I think they just don't want to bother directing traffic so they just close the street.

Bocce and petanque seem ripe for hipster appropriation and cosplay. Choose your poison carefully.

Where can I find fresh soba noodles? Frozen would be okay, too. I would like to prepare them at home Ten Zaru style. I found lots of dry soba brands at H Mart in Fort Lee, but they just don't taste anything like fresh ones - no bite or chewiness to them.

Large amount of those cars in the daytime and picking up and dropping off stuff to stores on the block. Also, they're the delivery drivers for Helen's, Food King, Gypsy Grill, etc standing while they pick up their next order.
This happens on every other street too, you just don't notice it as much because it's not quite as annoying.

My daughter said she heard a bodega on Newark sells weed. Hmmm...

I meant no alternative if you want to be close all the startups, incubators, and accelerators. But it is interesting that JC made the list. SF has Silicon Valley, NYC has Silicon Alley, and we have Chromium Alley. ;)

So no alternative except NYC, which you just referenced and therefore, contradicted yourself?

Self aggrandizing delusion in the very 1st line:

"Jersey City?s growth is largely owed to the allure of its artistic community."

Umm, LOCATION,LOCATION,LOCATION! Most of the JC immigrants of the last decade couldn't give a crap about the arts, they're here for a reasonably priced place to live close to Manhattan.

Yeah no doubt the food at City Diner is solid. It just has a complete absence of soul.

Is it a legit 24 hour place? I'm not really down there often, but could be a good spot after a show at Monty Hall or after Iron Monkey.

Yeah its 24 hours which is convenient. And the food isn't perfect but it's good enough diner fare. Service is friendly and they have a bar.

But omgggggg you guys it's not a diner!

Never heard of City Diner?

I can't agree with you on the Marco Pepe comment. I was a big fan and patron of M&P for my first few years in town. However, about 4 years ago my experiences deteriorated dramatically. I still return once a year with some hope and invariably I'm disappointed.

Regardless. I do hope Talde survives. However, I think the formula may be to more of a restaurant and less of a night club with the loud music. Also, perhaps change the menu to high end Italian, not Italian American. Over all my suggestion is to appeal more to an adult market. Not the vomit set.

Meanwhile, Marco & Pepe, Taqueria, Beechwood, Park & Sixth, Roman Nose, Orale, all well regarded and seem to be doing OK. I'm sure there are others.

FWIW, I don't need some "restaurant scene," I don't care about the opinions of snobby foodies. Good restaurants will do the trick.

Food trucks are fine unless they pull up and park in front of someone else's business. Someone who's paying rent and has made a commitment to the location. Pure and simple. It's unfair competition.

You do realize that this is exactly what happens in a number of cities, yes? Including NYC. There's a whole row of them across the street from my friend's office on I believe W 46th. Like 8 trucks. There are numerous eating establishments on that block. If they can somehow coexist, then I'm pretty sure a few eateries here can, too.

I'm a blogger-- not about JC-- with several hundred thousand monthly readers (that's pretty big in my industry). While it wouldn't be fun to see a thread bashing me, to be honest it's part of the business and wouldn't elicit more than a shrug. Several of my blogger friends recently had fun with negative comments by reading them spoken word style and putting up the video on you tube. It's better to be polarizing than boring at any rate.

I haven't read this person's blog but if putting herself prominently in her posts works for her, then she should by all means continue. It's not my personal style but we all do what works for us. If she explicitly discloses receiving payment for reviews (which is really advertising) then who cares. Don't read it or start your own blog. Like mainstream journalists, I go on press trips all the time and disclose it (but don't accept payment, it's not my thing). Ultimately it's the size of your readership that determines your success, not what is said on some random thread on jclist.
