The sonesta hotel used to be an extended stay hotel. Call and ask if they still offer the special rates since I’m sure the rooms are still set up with kitchenettes

I went through the same thing when I was due. My mom stayed for a month. She ended up finding something on Airbnb and then reached out to the owner directly and negotiated the rate since she was going to be there for a month. It worked out really well.

Silverman does short term, fully furnished units too. They’re nice but on the pricy side.

The new Residence Inn is a decent option too, if they don’t need a lot of space. It has a kitchen and is basically a studio apartment in a hotel setting. But definitely go in person and talk to the front desk manager. They offered us a rate lower than what could be found online.

Kitchen Step is great, but call to see if you can get a table that large.

Urby does short term leases. I found their listing on Airbnb, but if you contact them directly, it’s slightly cheaper than going through Airbnb. You can email them at abode@urby.com.

$99 for the year and can use it for acme, target, CVS, etc

Been using Shipt since the pandemic. Life changing

A friend used it in Chicago before he bought a house there. Discounted because of the length of rental. You’ll get better pricing.

Well, there’s also that guy desperately trying to unload his overpriced 1-bed lease at the Hendrix - only $3.7K and a two-minute walk to Grove St.

You can try leasebreak too. Usually folks moving for one reason or another and trying to transfer the remainder of their lease so they minimize fees and whatnot. Often price is negotiable.

No. Fuck that. I don’t want no New Jersey-branded Whiskey.

The little beet in Newport mall is great

I don't necessarily want to switch, just to see what else is out there. Thanks to all for the replies!

It ain’t bad, but it ain’t great either. I def would consider something closer JSQ path or downtown/Hoboken if that’s a concern of yours.

Just curious - why do you want to switch away from Amazon? I think their Whole Foods delivery is top notch. The few times I’ve had issues their customer service has been very way to work with

Hiya! Personal chef here and I’ve used instacart for not only my personal groceries but also for my clients.

They do have higher fees but the experience is great. In my over 2 years using them, I have only had 1 order get canceled by a driver, every other single order was delivered with little to no incident. They also have the widest selection of stores and items available. You can save on fees by getting instacart+ which does work out math and saving wise if you are doing an order a week!

Only major complaint I would have is if you get one of the few and far between poor shoppers that are disorganized and wrong items can end up in your bag but again this doesn’t happen that often

I instacart almost all of my groceries and have very little problems. There are delivery and tip fees, but I did the math out and because I can go to a cheaper store with instacart than i can if I had to go myself (when I'm limited to walking/public transit distance) the prices are about the same in total

Fresh Direct is definitely more expensive than shopping IRL but I’ve never used another online delivery service so I can’t compare apples to apples (lol). But they have great customer service, decent selection. I think the produce is fine. On rare occasion something is spoiled or damaged, you can get a refund easily. (I’ve also heard they treat their employees well but can’t confirm firsthand.)

Toros is amazing. Way better than rumi or efes

Samakmak is legit.
