Two Boots owner Aaron and his sidekick Drunk Jeff would never allow this. I'd try any other modern city.

TTP, you are correct, and what is it with these posters ? They must lose sleep wondering what 2 Boots is up to. These people have real problems other worrying about 2 Boots.


People complain about Two Boots because he lobbied the city to get the food trucks removed from Grove St Plaza so he could help his bottom line. At the expense of the public, who loved the food trucks.


And a bunch of other local businesses but because Two Boots was the only business owner to actually try to explain the reasoning to the deliberately obtuse posters on JCList they just harp on his business like it was just him. lol I'm sure their "boycott" of all those businesses really panned out and made a huge difference- that's why they keep up the bitching on here. It's their only outlet because in reality no one else gives a shit.


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.

Yvonne, why you always got to be so negative? Don't you ever get tired or depressed from being negative all the time? Does Jersey City do anything right in your eyes? Sad woman, I'll pray for you.


Once the land is gone you do not get it back, sorry I don't agree. There should be more open space. In the past, that was part of the requirements for large developments but we are allowing developers to dictate design.


What if the open space takes up street parking spots? You so passionately are against the tiny Newark Avenue Pedestrian Plaza which the many many families that utilize it would call open space.

i don't see a problem with other bike companies using a jersey city bike rack. It's not as if it were purchased by Citibike. The racks should be a convenience for all residents/visitors.


The problem is, the purpose of the racks is for local folks to have a place to securely lock their own bikes. If a private company brings over a bunch of their bikes in a van at 6 am and takes all the open spots in the rack, the people who should be able to use the rack are denied that opportunity; they most likely end up locking up in a less-secure, less-orderly manner (bad for them, and the other users of that public space).



also, if Citibike has a contract with JC (regardless of whose connection greased the wheels), then they've got a valid beef with a competitor setting up shop for free nearby.

like if a pizza truck parked right outside the door of Two Boots.

which is the only way a food truck analogy works, as the taco truck a block away DID NOT TAKE AWAY YOUR PIZZA BUSINESS, TWO BOOTS.

but I digress.


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.

My last message ended "this place will also live or die based on the skill of their bar staff". I sincerely hope that is true, because if so, this place will thrive. I stopped by yesterday on their first open-to-the-public night, and while the printed cocktail menu was just comprised of a few safe classics, one look behind the bar was enough to show that they know what they are doing.

Natalie was the head bartender (running the program at Archer, I believe as a consultant, though) and had spent time working at the Flatiron Lounge, Dutch Kills and PKNY. Despite being the first day, her and Chris, the other bartender, made off-menu drinks that were both creative and perfectly composed. On their first day, they were already punching well above Dullboy's weight class, and at the very reasonable price of $12/cocktail, far less than the $15-16 that drinks of similar quality cost across the river at D&Co, Attaboy, etc.

Environment was exceptional - dark, warm, booths/tables perfect for conversation (although I was busy nerding out at the bar). The small plates menu looked very good, game-heavy, but didn't get a chance to try anything. They'll be rolling out their full cocktail menu of both classics and originals in the next couple weeks, as well as an extensive whiskey list.

Open one day, and it's likely already become the best bar in Jersey City. Can't wait to see where it goes from here.


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.

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.

Well, you went on a hysterical rant against "gas guzzlers" and "chronic drivers" so maybe someone else can apply the appropriate description.

And I'll take your silence on the latter point to be an admission you haven't been paying attention to the parking situation with new construction.


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?

If Nike would like to put a regular shop (not an outlet store) in the Newport Mall, that would be great. It would also not violate any ordinances.


It also wouldn't apply as there are not enough Nike corporate stores in a certain proximity needed. But I am sure these facts will not change the mind of Mayor Fulop's biggest obsessor!

My recollection is that he actually filed a suit. No word or update since that original reporting, though.

I think Abbondanza is the closest to the crown for "coming soon" They were 2+ years in the making. As far as I know, Monty's has been 2 years in the making, not 3. Regardless, what is different here is that we can't lay the blame for this long delayed opening on the Buildings Department.

As much as I hate to say this, I think there should be a rule or law that limits how long a business can stay "under construction". It may sound ridiculous, but you could argue that a business that through negligence (or, lack of a coherent plan) is unable to open its door to the public, and remains a construction zone, is a blight on the area and the public. Newark Avenue has been coming along very nicely for the past two years, with new restaurants and other businesses opening it up. Monty's is taking up a prime spot and slowing down the revitalization of the area with a boarded up storefront that is an eyesore.


Does anyone know why the opening is delayed, though? How do we know who to blame?


Yvonne said it was Fulop administration... but I think she might be biased


Yvonne actually did a very thorough investigative low budget YouTube video explaining how Mayor Fulop is responsible for global warming, poverty, me stubbing my toe yesterday, any past and future power outage, the price of milk, the turmoil in Syria, and every single dog off-leash where they shouldn't be.

I'm just wondering what one would do if they were going downtown and the docks were already full of bikes of commuters before them? Excuse my lack of knowledge - just wondered what a rider would do in that situation?


This is definitely possible as they look at usage and tweak the system.

In these cases you go up to the console and they give you additional time to get to the closest docking station with an opening.

I just called them and relayed the ADA violation concerns described below to the Customer Service Representative I spoke with, who told me that calls and emails on the subject sent to the customer service email address linked above would be forwarded to the appropriate person in the Citibike organization.

If you too are concerned about this, please call or send an email expressing your concerns and maybe this can be corrected in a timely manner.

I don't happen to know who in the JC government would be best to address this to, or I'd offer their contact info, too--perhaps someone else can chime in with that?

If nothing else, Citibike and the JC officials working with them will not be able to say later on they were never told about this!


Which stations are actually entirely blocking sidewalk access? I've seen some that cut into sidewalks a bit but not making them any more narrow than some existing sidewalks.


No one is claiming that entire sidewalks are being blocked. The issue is that these CitiBike stations are blocking enough sections of sidewalks as to render them in violation of established state and federal guidelines. A sidewalk needs to be 60 inches across for a wheelchair to be able to turn a full circle, or for two wheelchairs to be able to pass each other abreast.


Precisely. And to add to that, the racks are blocking a wide swath of the sidewalk - also a possible ADA violation. You can scroll to earlier posts within this thread where the exact specs are laid out. Specifically, though:

"All utility poles, light posts, traffic posts, fire hydrants, and other manmade vertical appurtenances are located outside of the sidewalk path. If right of way prevents relocation of an appurtenance, the pathway width is at minimum 32? wide and the length of the restricted pathway is no more than 2?."

Remember, this isn't just about someone in a wheelchair - this is about folks using scooter chair devices; walkers; and also for the visually impaired who have to navigate that sidewalk rack. Close your eyes for a second and imagine navigating one of the longer racks with some spots empty and some spots containing bicycles.

I really hope the city takes a good look at this compliance issue and asks front-line folks who are physically and visually impaired and their advocates for input as well.

I'm certain the Height's based Concordia Learning Center would be able to add their expertise to the discussion as well as the folks from JC Medical Center.


Soooo, are any actual stations in violation of this, or is it more speculative/looking for something to complain about Citibike?

1. We were a proud sponsor of JC Pride. (We support many local groups.) We fed over fifty of their volunteers. They never asked us about outside food vendors and we never asked them to keep food vendors out. Nor would we have. Similarly, we have never objected to the outside food vendors who come to Newark Ave. for "All About Downtown" or indeed for any other occasional event.

2. Business has been great thanks to our many passionate customers and the throngs of people that our new, neighboring restaurants have brought to the street. Like us, they've made huge investments in the neighborhood, pay taxes and employ lots of Jersey City residents. So, we're incredibly excited about the Downtown restaurant scene and economy. As you should be too.

TBJC


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).
