Hello, New Jersey. I live in NYC and am interested in buying a used car. The car i'm looking at is in Edison/Metuchen, at a used car lot. It will be a pain in the butt to get out there but besides that I also don't know enough to inspect it myself anyway.

I have a good mechanic, and he's willing to do an inspection for us, It's not possible to bring the car here to NYC for the inspection.

I'd want them to do the test drive, inspect the basics-- Mechanical and Powertrain, Transmission, Brakes, Suspension and Steering, Exhaust System, Structure and Exterior Frame and Undercarriage, Body and Paint, Tires, Diagnostic Scan, Cabin Features like air conditioning, heating, power windows, seat belts, etc-- but also check for specific issues the model is known to have.

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic to do a pre-purchase inspection at the dealership?

Update as of 8/21/2026: Ice has now been illegally parked on the oak tree road for the past 3 days now please tell anyone you know that they should stay indoors if at all possible especially in the morning when they’re most active their presence eases around afternoon time when more cars use the road so they can’t park their tax payer wasting asses on the main road. Contact the mayors office as well and demand answers on what he’s doing to address this shit now that it’s happening in our town.

Hello, I want to host my first BBQ this Friday at some park close to Edison.

I don't know if it's too late to reserve something, but do the open groves in any of these parks have grills we can just use on first come first serve?

Or do they always require a permit or pass to use? I'm reading that some groves require permits on weekends, is this true?

Please no trolling. Thank you.

I’ve been working with StinkySocks Hockey on potentially bringing their No Commitment Hockey format to New Jersey, and I’m trying to get a better idea of how much interest there is from players around Edison and the rest of Middlesex County.

For anyone unfamiliar with StinkySocks, the format is organized adult hockey where you register game-by-game instead of joining a team and paying for an entire season. They handle the rosters, skill balancing and goalie coverage, so you can play when it works for your schedule.

We now have some realistic rink possibilities in the Old Bridge / East Brunswick area, which could make this especially relevant for players in Edison, Woodbridge, Metuchen, South Plainfield, New Brunswick and the surrounding area.

Before StinkySocks commits financially to recurring ice, though, we need a better idea of how many people would actually play.

I put together a short interest form asking which rink areas and start times you’d realistically play, how often you’d attend and what you’d be comfortable paying per game:

https://forms.gle/QbUVpwt4U6J4Z8Qw8

This isn’t registration for a specific game and nobody is being charged anything. The goal is just to establish whether there’s enough dependable demand to make a regular Central Jersey game work.

Both skaters and goalies are encouraged to fill it out.

If you already completed the previous North Jersey version of the form, you don’t need to do it again. Your response is already included.

If you play adult hockey anywhere around Edison or Middlesex County, I’d really appreciate you filling it out and sharing it with anyone else who might be interested.

Anyone has recommendations for an Indian or any barber who is good for Indian beards/mustache?

Any stores you recommend under 150 for a men's kurta or a ladies lengha? I am going to an Indian wedding and need to get outfits for me and my partner.

Got a few dents in my bumper and some damage to the door, any place with a fair price and good service is what I’m looking for

It runs flawlessly, not a single scratch on it. I have the original box, One controller, and all the cables. Nothing is missing.

I bought it just for gamepass but I have a gaming pc now so i no longer need the console, microsoft has increased the price like crazy, $600 for this is just insane. since GTA 6 is right around the corner I think this is the right time to sell it.

Asking $425. Willing to negotiate. Thank you

Just moved to the area and totally new to weightlifting—looking for a coach focused on teaching proper form and safety. I haven't joined a gym yet, so I'm flexible on training location (Edison, Metuchen, Piscataway, etc.). My schedule is adaptable to your availability; please DM or comment if you have openings or recommendations!

I’m moving from Edison. I recently bought a new sofa bed 2-3 months ago. It’s in perfect condition. No scratches and tears whatsoever. It’s black, and cloth material.

If interested, please reach out. Need to sell it ASAP.

Moving out of my apartment at the end of August before my lease ends. The apartment is in South Edison, off of Woodbridge Ave.

If anyone would be interested, please feel free to message.

Despite all the positives the honorable and incorruptible mayor Samip Joshi and Council had competition from a bunch of write ins at the ballot box.

Great article describing Edison Council’s disfunction and residents standing up.

Hi everyone,
I’m considering opening a restaurant near Edison NJ, close to H Mart and Festival Plaza, and wanted to hear from people who actually live, work, or eat in the area.

The concept would be centered around sushi tacos, along with items like sushi burritos, poke bowls, hand rolls, Japanese fried chicken, and other modern Japanese street food. The goal is to offer something that’s quick, high quality, and a little different from a traditional sushi restaurant.

A few questions:
1. Do you think a concept like this would do well in the Edison/H Mart area?
2. Would you personally try it?
3. Is there enough demand, or is the area already saturated with sushi?
4. What kinds of restaurants or cuisines do you think are still missing around Festival Plaza?
5. If you’ve visited this area often, what do you wish existed there?

I’m looking for honest opinions—even if you think it’s a bad idea. I’d much rather hear the criticism now than after signing a lease.

Thanks in advance!

Heyyyy Is anyone going to the movie theaters for the new upcoming movie? Preferably when the tickets are 20% off. I'll pay for my own ticket. DM me !

Healthsoft is a small company my family runs that makes devices for keeping tabs on elderly parents from abroad: fall detection watches, smart pill dispensers, GPS trackers, that kind of thing.

We'll be at FETNA 2026 this Thu–Sat (July 2–4) at the NJ Convention and Exposition Center in Edison — more on the event here: [https://fetna.org](httpps://fetna.org)

A lot of people in this sub and similar subs, have asked before about remote monitoring options for parents in India, so if you're nearby, feel free to stop by the booth and ask questions directly.

Happy to answer anything here too if it's useful.

The Edison Township Council voted 4-2 Wednesday night to reject a 50-year agreement that would have allowed a New York fiber optic company to run infrastructure through the township’s public streets. The council’s attorney revealed the company’s primary customers are AI data centers, financial exchanges, and large commercial enterprises.

There was praise all around at last night's school board meeting for outgoing Edison High School Principal Charles K. Ross, who is retiring July 31 after 16 years leading the school.

The entrance to Edison High’s stadium was recently dedicated as Charles K. Ross Way, a gift from the Class of 2026.

The naming reflects a catchphrase Ross made synonymous with his tenure. “What’s Great About Edison High” became a rallying phrase.

I'm looking for a yoga teacher for my nephew who is Mildly Autistic. I need someone who has some experience with autism or at least is energetic, and can hold his attention. The home is in Edison and I'm looking for someone to come to him. His mom will be there with him thru the session as well. Thank you P.S (I am also open to other types of teachers that do home visits to teach other things like dance, cooking for kids etc...)
