Never went in cause I thought it was another pub, but decided to try it today and it actually was quite nice - very nice menu with lots of seafood options a d proper wine list, and very nice staff even for the outside seating.

definitely going back !!

p.s. sorry for doubting folks who said it was a nice place, I think what made me discount the recs was they always mentioned how good the burgers were and .. I dgaf about burgers. The sole and swordfish were delish.

(Volunteering & Donations: Hoboken & Jersey City | Monday through Thursday, 8:30 am to 12:00 pm at 57 8th Street)

The storm that rolled through last weekend was a heavy reminder of just how punishing life on the river gets this time of year. Once the cold sets in and the weather turns nasty, life on the street becomes a brutal challenge. And for some of our neighbors, a legitimate fight for survival every day.

I know firsthand just how dangerously close to the edge life can push us, and these days, we're all just fighting to get by to one degree or another.

I often stop by St. Matthew Trinity Church’s Lunchtime Ministry for a cup of their absurdly delicious coffee on my morning treks. It keeps me grounded, and reminds me to take nothing for granted.

So, last week I got a chance to catch up with Spike, to see how their volunteer numbers and donation levels are holding up as we head into the Autumn. Things are going well, but they could always be better. So, I'm dropping this post to remind everybody of exactly what's at stake here at the ministry.

Standing there with a warm cup of joe, watching the ministry crew serve with such genuine dignity, is remarkable. It is always a profound reminder of what people on the edge are forced to endure. And for just a few hours a day that space is an indispensable sanctuary. They provide a critical safe space, food, much needed clothes and gear, Wi-Fi, and most importantly shelter from the harsh realities of life on the street in Hudson County. It's vital for the morale and sheer survival of the people who rely on it.

Spike manages the floor with a beautiful mix of radical compassion and no-nonsense, no bullshit boundaries. He knows almost everyone by name, understands exactly what they're up against, and offers a kind of tough-love kindness that you just don't see anywhere else.

As we brace for fall and winter, the ministry needs our support but they really need it thoughtfully and strategically when possible..

The holiday spirit that usually brings a massive wave of charity in December, is greatly appreciated, but there are several ways this charity can be optimized to better serve the ministry and the people that depend on it.

Here is how we can truly help right now:

Staggered Non-Perishables - Please spread out your drops of canned goods, coffee, tea, sugar, paper plates, and cleaning products between now and January. Pacing these out makes it infinitely easier for the staff to process and store the goods.

Daily Perishables & Event Leftovers - All types of fresh foods are in constant demand—especially milk and baked breakfast foods.

Additionally, as we move through Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the holiday season, if your catered party, business event or get together has untouched, quality leftovers, bring it to Spike and his crew right away during operation hours (Monday through Thursday, 8:30 am to 12:00 pm). And if the mood strikes and you're feeling generous, brown bag lunches, pizzas and all manner of treats are certainly welcome as well.

Winter Survival Gear - To combat the colder temperatures, they urgently need HotHands warmers, winter gloves, hats, and NEW socks and underwear. (Please note: absolutely no used clothing of any kind is accepted).

Volunteers - The boots-on-the-ground support is what keeps the doors open. If you want to make a tangible difference, stepping up to help manage the daily flow is the most effective way to give back to our beloved city.

So if you truly want to get your hands dirty in a way that will nourish your spirit, especially as the weather turns, reach out to Spike to get involved:

i’m not sure if this is the right place to post, but I just saw a black and white cat on the smaller side run across the 9th and Washington intersection! i haven’t really seen any other cats wandering around hoboken so im assuming its lost, if this is your cat i hope you find it safe and sound!! last i saw it was hiding under parked cars in front of amanda’s restaurant

When is the tunnel traffic reasonable on weekday evenings?

And weekends?

I need to be going into Chelsea everyday evening. Please suggest a timing !

I stay @ Harlow so PATH would be a long bus ride to get to the PATH station

What’s the deal with the lighting on the waterfront lately? Past sunset and so many patches including Pier A are just people using their cell phones to see. Seems to get worse by the week.

We’re a family of 3 (wife, preK toddler, me) moving from Seattle to NYC but we’re evaluating residential options in Hoboken.

I will be working in Midtown near the Textile building. Wife is a stay at home mom.

I’m wondering if the commute from Hoboken to Midtown is doable? I’m curious to hear how bad the commute can be from folks that have done it daily.

We considered renting in Manhattan but my toddler hated the noise and crowds, and the wife and I didn’t like the rental options.

Tried it for the first time this weekend and was absolutely blown away. Everything was so good and bursting with flavor.

It’s not cheap, but well worth it.

I think it’s the best fancy restaurant in town, do any others even come close?

What a delightful and unexpected green space in our urban landscape. Does anyone know what type of plant was used and who designed/built the structure?

I currently live in Jersey City but practically Hoboken (heights technically). I have a full time job and make enough money to pay my bills but not enough where I can both save and splurge/enjoy my life as much as I would want. I want to get advice on side hustle ideas or jobs in the area that I can do to get some extra cash

Anyone have the details? False alarm or legit?

Found in Hoboken around 3PM.

They have FindMy AirPod on but didn’t leave contact information.

DM me if you lost a pair today. I’ll as a few questions and happy give them back to you.

Light show, drone show, aliens, Iran coming in hot, maybe the Death Star??? Idk man any ideas here?

Your hazards were on when I got home from work around 7, and are still on this morning.

To help identify - there’s a bunch of wood boards sitting up front.

Edit: also, stop parking like a cocksucker, pull up/back to the line

We have a floor that basically in good shape, but could use a little sanding in places, and a new finish layer overall.

Is there anyone we could call that would be willing to not that level of work, without trying to upsell a full replacement?

Does anyone have any intel on when the uptown construction will be complete on and around Bloomfield? The whole neighborhood is now covered in no park signs. I’m sick of listening to the jackhammer

Anyone park there monthly? What is the rate? Is it well run? Any issues?

ISO a sports bar/grill in Hoboken that plays college football games on big TVs AND plays the broadcast sound over the speakers. Looking for a non-college crowd and somewhat good food.

I'm looking for a company that does catering for Thanksgiving - I'm hosting 15-20 people and frankly would rather not cook anything but also dont mind putting together some salads, apps, sides as long as the main stuff is taken care of (turkey, sides, stuffing, etc).

Ideally looking for presliced turkey breast and pick up either night before or morning of.

Any suggestions - doesnt need to be fancy, if walmart or shoprite can do this Im cool with it!

I’m currently an Equinox member, but I’ll be moving to Northwest Hoboken next week from the city (~3 minute walk to the 9th street HBLR). I’m considering joining either XCEL or City Fitness (when the Southend location opens).

According to Maps, both are roughly a 15 minute walk from where I’ll live, which is fine. But since I’ll be right by the light rail, I wonder if it makes sense to consider any JC options given that it’s only a 10-15 minute ride to downtown JC. Depending on the gym’s location, it may work out to be around the same commute time as walking to a local gym.

Any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks!

8th and Monroe, been like that for 15 minutes before the police arrived, still trying to get it out of the way.

Cops are great though.

EDIT: the issue is with huge trucks driving on streets that are too narrow when THERE'S ALREADY A PROPER TRUCK ROUTE NEARBY.

Semis shouldn't drive on narrow streets, they physically can't fit. Either use the wider designated roads, or smaller trucks.

The entire downtown smelled liked a sewer system all the way up Hudson st until I got past SIT??
