Re: Downtown: Williamsburg's Barcade (Bar Arcade) Coming to Newark Avenue

Liquor laws in New Jersey limit the number of liquor licenses granted based on population; a given municipality may issue only one license for on-premise consumption (bar or restaurant) per 3,000 residents and one for off-premise consumption (liquor store) per 7,500 residents. Thus, few new licenses are issued. But if you want to open a restaurant or other establishment in the state that will serve alcoholic beverages, it is possible to get your license
We need more input from the local municipality. We need to make it easier for establishments to open on Newark not harder. These establishments are the catalysts for growth of emerging neighborhoods.

I've been watching this thread from afar and have to agree with Brewster on this one. Half an hour is way off. I walk 3 blocks from Dixon to Grove path and it takes me less than 10 mins. I can walk from Dixon to the waterfront in half an hour. How do you think it takes 30 mins from CP to Newport path?
I'm all for more puff pieces about JC, bring it on. We need all the good PR we can get. There is so much bad press about JC from the corruption to the gang violence etc. People need to loosen up. Soo much negativity on this board lately. I know people that have given up on jclist because they are sick over of the petty back and forth banter.

And if it matters I think the Bayfront would be a great addition to Jersey City. People downtown want to see the rest of the city blossom.

What are you rambling about? I don't have abated taxes and neither do a lot of people I know who own downtown. Fact is not as many building have abatements as you would believe.
I work in NYC and I shop in Downtown where I live. I spend the vast majority on my money in JC. You are painting broad generalizations about people that live downtown and work in the city. Where are we supposed to work? Last I checked a lot of people that live in Journal Square work in NYC too. If there any shops worth going to elsewhere in JC I'll go to them. I've spent my money at places on 440. Where are all these shops in Greenville and the Heights that you keep mentioning. I've eaten at the Indian restaurants on Newark. Give me a list of all the terrific places to shop and spend my money in Greenville. You're barking up the wrong tree my friend. I just don't see what you are mad about. What exactly do you propose? Want changed? Let it go.

Baby steps people, baby steps. It's hard enough to get NY'rs to cross this side of the Hudson.
If the goal is to attract NY'rs to move to JC, you need to start with something that they are familiar with. They are trying to show NY'rs that you can get luxury and amenties for much cheaper than you can in the city. They are trying to increase the profile of downtown as a "neighborhood" such as those that exist in Brooklyn. They are playing up the hip factor. When they write articles about Brooklyn they don't talk about the whole borough, they talk about specific neighborhoods. Once you get these people to cross the Hudson some will venture further into JC and settle down. It takes time and with all due respect more people downtown with higher incomes means more revenue for the city and all those in the Heights, JS, Greenville, etc...

They are cancelling it because Macy's is going to have a bigger and better show right in front of Jersey City. Don't give me this BS about trying to save money. Do these idiots really believe that we are dumb enough to believe this crock of Sh!t?

You can't bring a dog into any restaurant, it's a health code violation. You can sit outside with your dog at any of the JC restaurants that have outdoor seating OTHER than Marco and Pepe.
They used to allow dogs until there was a dog fight about a year ago. Not that kind of dog fight Michael Vick :) It's unfortunate as we go elsewhere for brunch now and miss Marco & Pepe. Don't like leaving the dog home alone when it's nice out.

You usually just have to pay them a flat fee. Haven't seen the double meter plus toll lately. I think I may actually prefer that method though. Depends where you are coming from in NYC. If it's downtown 45 bucks is about what I've paid.

Look at the boat house in Central Park, or the Ice skating rink, ballfields, etc... LSP really doesn't have anything to do activity wise.

That's the same exact place I thought we be a good spot for an Irish Pub. The city makes it so damn difficult for anyone to open a business. Look what happened to OX, Atomic Wings, the guy from Port-O-Lounge has been trying to finalize his license to serve food for almost 3 years. 3 friggin years is absolutely CRAZY TALK. This area will never reach it's full potential unless they lighten up on the permit process and actually help small businesses open instead of making next to impossible.

54 units is too much. You may also have issues obtaining mortgages on a self managed building with that many units. 8, 9 units maybe but once you go above that some lenders may have issues.

You're entitled to your opinion but I would like to add that all fees quoted have zero tolerance as of Jan 1st. Once you receive a GFE from a broker or a bank they can no longer change. Zero tolerance for any broker or bank fees. Title fees have a 10% tolerance. Many of my clients originally went directly to a bank and got the run around some had been waiting months for their loans to go through. All the major lenders offer the same Fannie Mae product but if you are looking for something outside the box or a true jumbo loan those vary drastically from bank to bank. A good broker knows where to look and a good broker will get the job done quickly. I have time and time again gotten lower rates for my clients that what their bank had offered them. There have also been times where the bank has given a client a better deal. Make a few calls and speak with some banks and speak with some brokers and compare apples to apples.

Went last night with my lady. We had a great time, the food was really good and the prices were extremely reasonable and affordable.
It was a little busy and we waited about 30 mins at the bar around 9pm for a table. We didn't have a reservation so that's what I would expect on a Friday during peak dinner rush. The hibachi chefs were very entertaining with the typical hibachi jokes. lots of large groups celebrating. +1
