Nice, will be done by 2029

I guess I have some affection for Stop and Shop because when I lived in the neighborhood, it was that or the C-Town on Central, which was far and away worse than any of these other options. Probably should have gone to North Bergen! I often used to take the elevator down to the Hoboken Shop Rite.

How were you able to determine his cause of death?

Super excited to check it out in the 2030s

It’s going to be a two floor store. They are converting some of the parking garage to more floor space.

Hate to say it but all of the produce I’ve ever bought in JC at those little outdoor stands (not farmer’s markets, the small partially outdoor markets that are common in the McGinley Sq area) is either already bad on the shelf or goes bad within 2 days of buying it or the taste is awful. It’s not saving money if you have to re-purchase the same stuff twice in the same week because the quality is so bad. Same goes for Central Square in JSQ. After 2+ years of crappy wilted lettuce and soft onions, I gave up entirely on buying produce in this area outside of the farmer’s market.

I was walking by Wholefoods this morning, and saw a couple of folks working on what looked like an escalator. This makes me also wonder if the store will take two floors or if this would be just a path to the parking garage.

Bet bet is to buy everything but produce at one of the suggested supermarkets and get your produce at a fruit stand if you want to be cost effective. Think 6 limes for $2 vs. $5+ at the supermarket.

The stop & shop on central is absolutely awful. It’s never fully stocked and they have limited options and it’s super over priced. If you already in the heights you might as well go to the shop rite in north Bergen. It’s larger than the Hoboken shop rite and easier to navigate.

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Sending my sincerest condolences.

There is more of a correlation between COVID and blood clots than between vaccines and blood clots.

My deepest condolences on your loss.

Sadly, I have to agree on this one

You're going to need a size C.

i know...i am not anti vaxx but definitely sketch.

Maybe pick a hobby that’s less dangerous and doesn’t disturb the entire community. Go find a parking lot.

I always preferred the Columbia Park (North Bergen) Shop Rite to the Hoboken one. Trader Joe’s is great - as is Lidl

I lived in the Cambridge/Somerville area, and was never a fan of Market Basket or Star Market

Acme on 440 near Society Hill is our go-to

Check out McGinley Square - we just bought there and it's a 20 min walk/10 min bus ride to Journal Sq. 87 bus is fairly reliable

it's so reasonably priced!

Yea and with all the incentives right now there's a good chance it could be less than that. I've seen as low as $500 deposit and one or two months off (usually the first two full months) recently. Jersey City is not New York City. You shouldn't be paying a broker fee there unless you're trying to get something super specific. Most of the newer buildings are managed buildings especially downtown, Newport, Journal Square and Paulus Hook areas. Those are typically simple to move into. Much more like what you're used to elsewhere. Similar with Edgewater or Weehawken or the new developments in Bayonne.

Be careful with your movers though. The NYC area is notorious for movers jacking up extra costs for availability of truck parking, walk-ups, distance the truck has to park from your place, availability of an elevator (I've seen companies charge because they had to use an elevator which is crazy). Assume at least $1000 in contingency for stupid fees. I know one company that charged extra because they tried to take the Pulaski Skyway which doesn't allow trucks and had to be diverted onto surface streets. (The only way in and out of JC is either toll roads or the skyway).

Also if you're bringing a car, Jersey City is much much cheaper to park than Manhattan but not cheap. The surface lot on Montgomery and Marin near city hall I found deals for $180 because of an internet special (but it's uncovered which sucks when it snows) but you could easily be in the $250-$350/month range to house your car (which is still half of what it costs in Manhattan or Brooklyn). Also beware the tolls are ridiculously expensive so learn the surface streets and trying to drive into Manhattan via the Holland Tunnel will cost a small fortune. PATH train is your friend so the closer you are to a station or a ferry the better. The ferries are awesome and my favorite way to get across, however they are expensive. $8 one way which is almost triple what the New York ferries cost.
