That is not entirely accurate. Aaron (owner of 2 Boots) was the ringleader with Drunk Jeff (owner of the Bistro) as his sidekick. Without Aaron this would NOT have happened and the residents of Jersey City would still have regular access to food trucks, as it is in every other modern city of comparable size. In addition, I am friends with several business owners/GMs who signed that list and they all have stated that they now believe Aaron handled it incorrectly, aside from his rather poor reputation as a human being.

The CitiBike contract likely had a clause barring Jersey City from allowing anything viewed as a competitive service from operating within city limits. Also, the Hoboken bikes were literally filling up some bike racks making them unusable for regular JC riders. Speaking of Two Boots, I was in Austin TX recently and couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of the Two Boots owner Aaron having a total conniption if he owned his pizza place there. There are food trucks and food truck courts all over the city. And unsurprisingly the regular box stores are able to coexist.

I don't think anyone believed they would put them out of business, especially a pizza business which is generally recession proof. BUT- the owner Aaron definitely has gained a not-so-great reputation and although many people like myself have turned away their friends from going there, I have even heard from strangers telling others at a bar about his actions at City Hall. I'm sure no business owner would be happy to lose business, even if they are still technically "in business" making profit. If Aaron's pizza chain was doing so well he wouldn't have teamed up with Drunk Jeff and gone to City Hall.

Pretty spot-on review, I must say I was super impressed with this place as well. It has the feel of an ski lodge or hunting lodge, and smells like a cabin in the woods. The Elk Meatball sliders are outrageously delicious, and as previously noted the bartending staff is top-notch.

Interesting take Aaron, as those in the know are unanimously stating it was intentionally voted down to be revised and voted on again. But you're still the guy who pushed out food trucks (which JC residents enjoy) for your own selfish business interests in Two Boots Pizza.

Anyone ready to sign this should know that the creator is the owner of Two Boots pizza, who famously collaborated with Jeff (drunk owner of the great establishments The Bistro and the Coffeeshop) to push food trucks out of Grove square, so there is a history of putting selfish business interests before those of his fellow JC residents.

Hmm... "hysterical rant"? That implies some sort of hysteria, I'm curious where you ascertain some hysteria from me typing calmly on my computer? Rant? I was merely pointing out the insane amount of unused parking spots in nearly every high-rise downtown. I guess typing something calmly on my computer is a "hysterical rant"? Regarding your second point, my silence should be construed as nothing more than me simply not caring at all about it. I am a car owner and wish there was LESS parking and more open space for pedestrians in JC. I could frankly care less if new buildings provided the X required spaces of parking. Not paying attention? Sure. I want less cars driving in the city, and don't care if those who drive everywhere ("gas guzzlers") go to another town, we will have more than enough people to take their space here. Comprende?

I'm curious, the gas guzzlers complain new buildings don't include parking, but many of the new construction I see around downtown does have parking. And of course the high-rises all have largely unfilled parking lots built in. Maybe we should just bulldoze the parks so we can make more parking? Would the chronic drivers be happy then?

Dear TBJC, We wanted to respond to your alleged benefit to the community, or lack thereof: 1. Do you have any idea why when JC residents get out of the Grove Street path station there are no food trucks there any more? Did the food trucks just decide to abandon that area? 2. Did the owner of Two Boots and The Bistro (Jeff) not petition local restaurants to help push out the food trucks? Several restaurant owners who refused to join your coalition have made this claim. Are they lying? 3. Do you think that the residents of Jersey City prefer to have less food trucks that are not accessible, or do you think the residents of Jersey City prefer to have more trucks that are easily accessible?

You can bet your bottom the owner of Two Boots has and will continue to do everything in his power to push vendors far away, so this year they were relegated to a small portion of Barrow Street. As Two Boots is not doing too great financially you can count on the owner to continue doing similar things which hurt the people for his own sinking business. My 2 cents: support businesses that don't try to push out cultural events and vendors that pre-date them (see: The Bistro, The Coffeeshop, Two Boots Pizza).
