Wow. Another one? That’s just crazy.

Great clips off harborside light rail is $20. Always been happy with it

Razza is good pizza. But lets be honest, it's pizza. Not life-changing pizza. There are a lot of good recommendations here.

Theres so many gays here

Whenever i walk my dog several couples used to stop us to pet him lolll

Maybe just anecdotal evidence though

Wow even $30 can’t get you a professional haircut in jersey city. It is kinda crazy to me cause in 30 bucks I used to get a lot from where I moved.

I wonder why people are breaking their leases (there).

LOL!

It could also easily be a movie set in war-torn Syria, they would need very little set dressing.

Plot twist. This post is from the other guy....

Better deal than the other guy!

That’s just laws and policies as the article notes.

I know someone who left for Brooklyn a few years back because lack of business diversity. Some LGBTQ, like the person I know prefer to patronize and work for LGBTQ businesses (vote with your wallet and all). It’s apparently pretty exhausting finding nearby everything that satisfies that around here. Doctors, dry cleaners, groceries, etc. Brooklyn makes it easy apparently. Sometimes just not being visibly hostile isn’t enough.

Bro go to R&R barbershop near by JSQ. 20 bucks. Parking is rough. Been a JC resident for 20 years

You could book a haircut with one of the apprentices at Virile barbershop. There are 2 locations in downtown. When you book with an apprentice, the haircut is free because they’re still in training. I usually do that when my usual guy isn’t available and it’s always a great cut. Tip generously though.

I understand their concept of being a combination of many food trucks.. but by trying to have everything, they’re not great at anything.

Haircut inflation is like 30% from 2019

Let me clarify, this post does not mean that we are only interested in making gay friends. We are very social people and we know we will make friends, in general, anywhere we go. But it is typical human nature to have a subset of your friends being those who have shared similar life experiences and can connect at a much deeper level. I have friends with very different backgrounds than mine who I love and admire. But I know they have subsets of friends with which they share experiences that I will never understand and will therefore never be able to provide them with the safe space they need, and it doesn’t offend me that I’m excluded from their gatherings and activities every once in a while. When it comes to make other gay (or lgbtq in general) friends, location typically matter as we tend to congregate in certain areas, primary, as a defense mechanism to keep each other safe. If you think we live in a perfect society already where it’s all unicorns and rainbows, read this article

I just got to Great Clips now. Used to go to V's Barbershop but they're just expensive and bad imo

Vs Barbershop is $38 which is a little over but right by a light rail stop

I meant days where both sides get swept on the same day.

And my bad, Jackson, lol

You meant Jackson right 😝 and every street in JC has alternate side parking.

Probably people who don't have a car.

But also, OP seems to think that both sides of the street have the same days. They don't.

MLK has both sides, same day. But I doubt they have a house on MLK.

Adams on Hutton and Summit. Solid haircut, reasonable price and plenty of attitude. Perfect for JC.

I'm gay, live in JC with my spouse, and most of my friends live in Manhattan. I don't think this is a jersey city problem though, it's just that I met most of my friends in grad school in NYC and it's hard to make friends as an adult! Personally, I still find it worth it. I live in the heights, so I can live in a three bedroom apartment with backyard access for the price of a one bedroom on the upper west side, where most of my friends live.
