Their wifi also doesn't work either when the gym is packed (essentially all the time)

There’s a gym on every other block in Manhattan though, have to imagine retail rent is more expensive there.

The ones who are real restaurateurs will definitely benefit. The ones who have relied on artificial scarcity and have put zero effort into creating a restaurant/bar people actually want to go to will likely have to find something useful to do with themselves.

From the looks of it the drain may be the city’s responsibility

El Sazon has some pretty good options, including daily specials that are at / around $10. I'm also a fan of their Cubano sandwich which is on their regular menu.

>but I doubt it due to folks benefiting from the current system blocking any change

As is the case with almost everything in NJ. Whats crazy to me is that those same people would stand to benefit way more than the current system.

Lol true!

ftfy

Milanos sandwich. $10 and Will feed you for two meals.

I want this to happen, but I doubt it due to folks benefiting from the current system blocking any change. I hope the folks holding onto their liquor licenses and locking potential new restauranteurs out of the industry in NJ realize if and when a work around is figured out that makes your licenses worthless, there will be no sympathy from most of us. These Gen Zs seem to be very opposed with the Dumbo House, social club model, and I’m pretty sure that doesn’t require regular licensing. But keep being short sighted and greedy. Worked out for medallion taxi cab holders.

Why does 99 Hudson have such a huge overground garage instead of underground?

ibby's falafel / falafel station

kimchi guys has a lunch special that is like $12 but i'd venture to guess is more than 1 meal for a lot of people

venti sandwich truck is like $14 but DEFINITELY two meals if you can find a buddy to split

chipotle is decent quality for decent price

sky thai lunch special

some else already said little sandwich shop

I thought this would have been the first comment.

It's nothing like the Empire State Building which despite being very tall still integrates well into it's surroundings. Over half of 99 Hudson's footprint is dedicated to cars.

When that much space is spent on being a parking garage instead of filling the ground level with retail you end up with streets that are much more lifeless than 34th and 33rd st. in Manhattan

Walking by much of 99 Hudson feels like you might as well be walking by an industrial warehouse since large stretches/entire sides of it are just unwelcoming walls with no windows.

Many of the buildings in the surrounding area aren't great but they still manage to do more to help create a neighborhood. While a neighborhood full of 99 Hudson's would be a bleak place.

What are peoples general thoughts on this area? Not the park, the surround area

If you insurance is progressive then sad to say your fuk’ed this happened to me with a pot hole and they labeled this on my claim as an at fault accident , you have to take pictures and send it to city hall so they can reimburse you this is on the city not the property

Healthy or cheap? Typically those are mutually exclusive.

It’s changed a lot over even the 3 years that I’ve lived here

I’m a woman who has lived near this exact area (between 55 Jordan and the PATH) for a few years now, it’s overall very quiet and there’s really not much to worry about beyond occasional typical city nighttime shadiness, and that’s really not until very late at night. The area is rapidly coming up and there are a few pretty nice restaurants that have opened up there now (Cafe Alyce, ITA, some others). It won’t phase you if you’re moving from Brooklyn or Philly, it might feel a little edgier if you’re moving from a suburb. But overall, I feel very safe here 95% of the time. It’s a very residential area outside/around Bergen & Montgomery. Hope you find this helpful!

And that water fountain has broken twice in the last few months…

Why are you worried about the Carfax for a car that apparently smells terrible?

Hope there’s additional parking planned, it’s already brutal for park goers

New licensees are vetted by the local police department to ensure no one shady like the mob is buying a liquor license.

In my town they have been selling for $50k because it is an older, urban municipality and at one time there was a bar on every corner. There are quite a few pocket licenses that owners have unsuccessfully tried to sell. In rural municipalities, licenses are more scarce and can command six or seven figures.

Hours are actually set by the municipality, not the state. If you want the sales time extended, speak with your Mayor and Council.
