prices are high given the location is not waterfront or even next to grove path.
cant speak for construction quality seems to be better than the junk that is the gannon. given how hot the market is, they will probably sell it though.

You need a car living around that area. I am not trying to be cynical but it is NOT safe especially after dark if you walk around. All it takes is 1 unlucky encounter to ruin your life. Majority of the people living in the beacon zooms in and out in their car/jitney to downtown jersey city.

Majority of stuy's admission is based off test scores unlike this 25/25/25/25 nonsense. But they do also have some sort of exception system to let some kids in who otherwise didn't make the cut. It's pretty obvious who they are, everyone knew - when you have 80-90 percent of the class scoring 90s on the tests in various classes, and always the same few kids who got 60s and 70s and have no clue what's going on in class. Look back now it's actually a disservice to those kids as their gpa is much lower than if in a normal hs, which in turn hurts their chances of getting into a good college. I graduated from stuy in early 2000s not sure if they changed it after that.

tried it, it was alright, food slightly better than the average chilis or applebee, and service as well.
Go once a while as a guilty pleasure? sure. Waiting 40 mins for it? no thanks. Does anyone know what is opening up across the cheesecake factory?

how do you know there isnt an example? what defines being the best? - There is a clear academic definition of being the best, it is being tossed out in favor of the color of your skin. My perception is based on the school's policy, where as your perception of what i just quoted is based on absolute ZERO fact but your own made up fantasies.

it's sad if you truly believe that. Imagine if the NBA/NFL did that, taking 25% of each race because it takes the "top" players from each category. Or if the military did that - have a quota of 25% for each race to qualify for their top programs. Or if NASA did that, must hire 25% of each race to be a scientist or astronaut. The list goes on. There is absolutely no justification for the racial quota system. The country is built on competition and rewarding the most talented individuals REGARDLESS of race. Not this sad distortion just to have the appearance of political correctness. And this is a school that suppose to teach and education our next generation.

yes it is, and it is sad. Instead of fostering competition and the spirit of best man wins for the top schools, now it's about the color of your skin. Why should individuals from one race who are better qualified in term of academics / test scores be disqualified in favor of individuals from a different race who scored less and have lower academic records, simply because their skin color is different. How is this not racism, where are the outrage?

the fund only went up ~15% since beginning of 2014, meanwhile the jc market has been on fire since then, they also buy properties at significant discount vs the normal appreciation gained by homeowners who just buy at market price.
something definitely isn't adding up.

Your immediate streets become a swimming pool for your cars when it rains. And the building is a structural disaster done by the friendly folks at Toll Brothers, go check the lawsuits filed against them Talk about missing the checklist when buying a real estate....condo culture...lol....

Yes, it's not so much the food is better/more nutritious or not. It's the chemicals, antibiotics, hormones etc.. that are injected or laced on it you consume along with non-organic food. It wont instantly make you sick, but you consume them for the next 30 years and it will have an adverse effect on you. Environmental is an added benefit as well. The way things are produced now, everything is pretty much chemical engineered and lab-driven to get it done cheapest and fastest. No matter if they are animals or veggies/fruits. I know a friend who's a third generation butcher and deals directly with those animals also. And the process to be certified as usda organic on the beef is strict. Besides it's not like i am mortgaging my house to buy organic, or without it i will die. But if it's available and you pay just slightly more to avoid ingesting all those chemicals and nasty stuff that's on the food or ingested by the animals before they are killed. To me that's a small price to pay. Anyway to each of its own.

It is far from a buzz word, it has very strict standards to be certified as organic at least in the US (usda). Veggies/fruits must be grown on soils not containing the banned chemicals for at least 3 years. Animals has also strict food and movement requirements, cows/beef for example can only be usda organic if previous 2 generations are raised as organic, on top of the current one that is being certified. Not to mention no gmo. You are what you eat, and it makes a big difference over time. In other countries like china organic doesnt mean as much because the standard is very loose and it's a buzzword. Not in the US.

no thanks, it's just fried chicken people...geez. I even checked their website and after all the marketing bs, the quality of chicken they use arent any better than the lab monsters we normally have at supermarkets. They dont guarantee anything and forget about organic. At least cosi guarantees their chicken to be antibiotic free.

i hate tipping, not because i am cheap, but because it's just so damn annoying.
I have no problem if they just included a flat 18% service fee to every receipt and call it a day. I mean the original idea of tipping is for good service but in the US it's as mandatory as your bill. So what's the point, just include it in the bill and save everyone the headache.

is this true for the newport mall location? i thought the mall has strict requirements that all stores remain open during mall hours, as part of the contract the stores sign when they rent the space. The fast food court space in the mall is highly desirable and there is certainly no shortage of chains wanting to move in, so i doubt the mall will agree to let chicken fill a close on sundays?

So i went for dinner...$13 a person.
The place was PACKED, we waited for 20 minutes before getting a seat. The food is better than expected (for 13 bucks), they had a grill station where you can pick as much shrimp/steak etc..as you want and they will cook it for you. There are also about 4 different large islands of self serving hot/cold foods, all fresh, along with dessert / ice-cream. And finally a sushi island. In term of seafood, there is steamed blue crabs which is surprisingly fresh and well done. Raw oyster - looked ok but i wasn't brave enough to try it. There is also crawfish, shrimp, and a few types of fish. All looked decent. No crab legs or lobster though, but for 13 bucks you can't complain. If they keep the quality as it is, it's worth a visit to fulfill your guilty pleasures once a while.

For the 5 years I rented out in a 15 year old higrise condo by the waterfront, my average total upkeep cost was less than $1000 a year. My math factored in 1 month of rent profit a year for upkeep cost.
