@CruzNJTV: In Jersey City, @StevenFulop flips on transfer station: "Part of leadership is recognizing when you are wrong and this is such an instance." I can't find any more info on this change of heart, anyone else hear anything?

Razza for fancy pizza, Vinnies 3/ Grove Bistro (I know this place sucks, but the pizza is clutch) for NY style slice. Also a big fan of the Classic Italian from Romano's.

I know User1111 isn't always loved on here, but he makes a totally valid point. The best way to bring about positive change in our neighborhoods is to get involved at a community level. Go to neighborhood association meetings, go to PTA meetings, go to council meetings, etc. You're sure to find many other like-minded people and there's definitely strength in numbers. Also, great places to meet your committee people, assemblyman, councilman, etc. People who can more directly cause change via legislation and influence, something you or I may not be able to do.

Visited Thriftique earlier this summer at the behest of my interior designer friend for my condo makeover, and MAN such great finds (and awesomely inexpensive)! Everyone's entitled to stay in their bubbles if they like, but it's easy to miss out on gems not even 20 min away.

Excited to have some good Korean food in JC! I also frequented 7th street deli for their ramen, but the quality has really gone downhill in the past 6 months or so. Can't say I'm too sad to see them go.

Stopped by and had the miso beef ball, the spicy salmon ball, and the Japanese potato salad. The beef ball was decent, but the salmon ball and the potato salad were out of this world. Also, for 3.25 a rice ball, you can't beat those prices. I'll definitely be back.

Lafayette has historically been known at times as Communipaw, or Communipaw-Lafayette and is in fact one of the oldest settlements in North America (as previously stated). If you need further proof, here's an entire book on our neighborhood written by John Gomez; former resident and founding member of the JC Landmarks Conservancy. It's a good read. http://www.jclandmarks.org/tour-lafayette.shtml

I'll just copy and paste the first two sentences from the B-L Wiki: "Bergen-Lafayette is a section of Jersey City, New Jersey.[1] As its name implies, Bergen-Lafayette is made of different neighborhoods." It's the same as talking about the VV neighborhood or The Village neighborhood, not sure why that's difficult for you to comprehend. In reference to the crime stats, NewLafayette very clearly noted that there was a major density difference between our neighborhood and all of downtown. With the tone of some of these responses, you'd think that we're attacking other neighborhoods. That's not the case at all, we're just shining a light on our 'hood.

Def understand where you're coming from, but I just wanna reiterate that I'm talking about the Lafayette section of B-L in particular. I feel like it's in a unique position since it's right next to downtown, soon to be flanked by 2 major parks, and has a relatively low crime rate.

I really enjoyed the ongoing discussion about The Heights so I thought it'd be fun to start one about my own neighborhood.
Lafayette's a pretty quiet community situated West of Liberty State Park and East of Bergen Hill. The Communipaw-Lafayette neighborhood is actually one of the oldest settlements in North America and we have some great old (though sadly often neglected) housing stock to show for it. It's historically a working class neighborhood, but over the past 10-15 years there's been an influx of slightly more affluent folks moving in. Transit-wise we have the Liberty State Park light rail and various buses that run via the neighborhood's main arteries, Pacific Ave and Communipaw Ave. I personally would love to see the much talked about Pacific Ave light rail stop come to fruition as well, I think that'd be a huge boost to the area. I'd also love to see a forward thinking restaurant like MAE come back to the neighborhood! That was such a gem, but it might have been a bit ahead of it's time (allegedly, there were some major disputes between them and the landlord). With Berry Lane Park coming along nicely, a bunch of new housing developments in the pipeline, and an awesome group of very involved neighbors working with police to make things better, I definitely feel confident in my purchase here. What I'd love to see most is more small businesses opening in the area, but I'm sure that will come with time. I'm curious about what other folks in the neighborhood think about it's progress.

This makes much more sense transit wise though, as it's right next to the MLK light rail station. I think it's a great move and will help develop an area that is in dire need of it. If you want a good laugh, check out the comments section on the article. You can't make this stuff up!

I'm a big fan of MP, much better food than LH. The menu is a lot more modern and nuanced, but be warned that the prices can get a bit steep. One leg up I'd give LH is that they have a more lively, party sort of atmosphere (especially during the summer in their outdoor area). It all depends on what you're in the mood for.

I've been going for a few weeks now, here's a short rundown. The place is very modern and boasts all new machines, clean environment, and it's well maintained. Just know though, for $15 a month this is a no-frills gym. They have personal trainers on staff, but no classes like other gyms. They also don't have towel service, so BYO! Thankfully, there are showers in case you need to head somewhere right after your workout. All in all, I'd say it's well worth the $15/mo.
