Almost 30 years downtown. This place is a true neighborhood gem. Few places with actual fresh food and family recipes, and this place is one of them. If you haven’t been, go.

Apparently they the land lord is raising the rent and another hotpot restaurant with terrible lighting is moving in. Very sad to see a quality restaurant leave downtown.

New Jersey has approved a new rule limiting preschool screen time to 15 minutes per school day. The goal is to encourage more hands-on learning, play, and social interaction.

They may open this weekend or the next. Central Ave near Thorne St-ish.

took the train between newark and journal square yesterday. my apple wallet notifications said it’s from path but my transactions say it’s legoland LOL. if i press call merchant it even shows the legoland number. i thought this was funny but WHY

Today, I had the pleasure and luxury of rolling my 800 pound body into the newly opened ShopRite. The clean, polished escalators paired PERFECTLY with the brutalist design of the interior 🥵🫃🫃🫃

Truly…. It was 💋 CHEFS KISS 💋 perfection…

Now, we as a city can rightfully claim that our ShopRite is superior in size, luxury, and strength to the inferior and much dirtier Hoboken ShopRite, and our glorious Jersey City grows ever closer to pillaging and conquering our pathetic tech bro neighbors. 😍😍🔥🔥🫃🫃🫃🫃

As it was written in the ancient Jersey City prophecy, Solomon, who was the third and final ruler of holy lands, is destined to be the final ruler of Jersey City 😭😭😭💅👁️👄👁️🫃🫃🫃🫃

This can be seen by Solomon’s ABSOLUTE FAILURE as a mayor, which was foretold eons ago. His disregard for public safety and sanitization by removing the public trash cans 🚮 signals that his supple and tender flesh is ripe for sacrifice under the next blood moon 🌕 🩸🫃🫃🫃🫃

Very soon… 🔜 by the pure and testing RAGE of Jersey City’s inhabitants, we will storm the hollow mayors office and feast upon is supple flesh 🤤🙏🙏😭💅💅🫃🫃🫃🫃🫃

SOLOMON WILL beg for our forgiveness through a pathetic pre-recorded PSA….. but we will provide none. 💦💦💦🥵🥵🥵🙏🙏💅💅🫃🫃🫃🫃

After Solomon is finally consumed… our frenzied thirst for blood will spill into Hoboken, and soon we will FINALLY conquer their weak and fragile city, and turn it into our vassal of pure PLEASURE 😍😍😭🫃🫃🫃💅🫃🫃🫃🫃🫃

As a dog owner myself, I love seeing so many dogs enjoying the wonderful park we’re lucky to have in our neighborhood. However, over the past couple of weeks, it’s become increasingly difficult to walk my leashed dog due to the growing number of off-leash dogs. My dog loves other dogs, but after some scary experiences with off-leash dogs, we no longer allow him to interact with unfamiliar dogs in public. Having unleashed dogs throughout the park that do not have reliable recall has really impacted our ability to enjoy the park and I have noticed it with other leashed dogs/owners as well.

By no means do I want to prevent dogs from meeting up with their doggy friends and I enjoy seeing other dogs play together. In the past this has not been an issue as many off-leash dogs and their owners gathered toward the top of the park, which allowed me to comfortably walk my dog along the perimeter and give us space.

Just a friendly reminder to please be considerate of those walking leashed dogs and anyone who may be uncomfortable with unfamiliar dogs approaching them. We all want to enjoy our beloved park, and being mindful of one another helps keep it a safe and welcoming space for everyone.

Weird to have the space and not use it for so long.

As we prepare for hibernation, let us not forget the Butter Garlic Noodles.

Hi guys, I moved to jersey city about a month ago and I live around journal square. Today at around 6:30 pm, two teenagers (there might’ve been more, I’m not sure) rang the bell and claimed they were electricians. They looked pretty young, especially the one that rang the bell, well dressed too but he didn’t look like an electrician.

Anyway, he rang the bell, said he was an electrician and asked me to give him access. I didn’t but he still tried opening the door. He tried around 3 times and then he looked at his friend and just walked away.

I’m not sure how to feel about this since I live alone and my living room faces the main road.
All I know is I never called for an electrician and something seemed off.

Has this happened to anyone before?

Hey everyone! I’m considering moving to Greenville near Danforth Ave and would love to hear from people who live in the area. I’ve been hearing a lot of mixed reviews. For context, I’m a 26-year-old woman planning to live on my own.

Specifically South Greenville near Danforth Ave and Bayview Cemetery, around the Ocean Ave/JFK Blvd area.

I currently work in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, so I’d be commuting to NYC regularly. I’m curious about the safety, walkability, and things to do nearby. I don’t have a car at the moment, so being able to get around easily is important to me.

I found an apartment I really like, but I’m trying to get a feel for the neighborhood before making a decision. Would you recommend living in this area?

I’d appreciate any honest opinions or advice!
Thanks!

Okay technically it's not Metro Plaza anymore it's Hudson Exchange and I went late 10pm to check out the store on opening day.

and it was nice. Bigger. Taller inside slightly. But it definitely seemed larger. it smelled slightly of fresh paint.

Here are some pics.

First pic is the shopping cart escalator down which is out of order.

Second pic is a wide shot of the lower level interior.

There's an olive bar which IMHO should have matching clear plastic lids that cover these ginormous buckets of olives.

And some pretty baked goods.

It's nice. The floors are polished concrete, and the aisles are mostly a lot wider. you could see how they're sort of riffing on the same layout.

fruit and vegies when you come in just much wider. dairy on the far wall. freezer sections right before that. soda before that. but now other drinks are broken out to a different aisle which is now simply 'soda'.

I originally liked that metroplaza's SR was smaller then the bayonne shoprite but whatever.

life is change.

Anyone know what's coming? Looks like a booth. Maybe another pizza spot 🤦🏽‍♂️.

253 5th Street, will take down the list if I walk by and see someone grabbed it. Looks like great condition

I’ve gone to events there as recently as last month and I’m trying to find their website and all that comes up is website for Jersey City Theater Center https://jctcenter.org

Is there new ownership?

Got $5 Shoprite coupon + free 79 cent yellow Shoprite bag.

I meant, better than nothing 🤣

A lot of seniors got in line and they were talking to each other saying they expected $25 Shoprite coupon.

Following the Shoprite opening, Everton is now fully open. And the Modcop location opening is aiming for mid 2027. Not sure about the Japanese restaurant.

(also yes I know the rent prices are high, but these are market rates for new "luxury" buildings downtown, and no you cannot find similar amenities for these prices in Manhattan. Brooklyn/LIC yes).

Hey everyone! I’m currently based in the Detroit area and looking to relocate to NYC or Jersey City. I have a master’s in electrical engineering and experience in electrical project engineering, utility SCADA systems, industrial automation, and controls.

My background includes coordinating engineering projects, developing scopes, working with vendors, and collaborating with cybersecurity, gas control, and measurement teams. I’ve also worked on real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance projects.

I’m interested in Electrical Engineer, Project Engineer, SCADA/Controls Engineer, or Field Engineer opportunities in NYC and the surrounding New Jersey area.

If your team is hiring, or you know a recruiter who works with these roles, I’d appreciate a referral or introduction. Happy to share my resume and discuss my experience through DM.

Thanks for any leads!

Guy loses a tire in the middle of the road.

Does anyone know where the new new treehouse is going to be in Jersey city? Just saw their post tonight and so curious
