We used UBL because it was clear from their videos (and later confirmed in person) how much pride they took in their work. They're transparent about the whole process and also really fun and friendly people. They were upfront about it being a pricey job, but I knew they weren't taking shortcuts or throwing band-aids on things (like the previous two roofers did).

Wing places are notorious for this, loads of those wing shops are actually just pizzerias and fried chicken places running fake wing shops. Even domino's and pizza hut do it

Kind of excited to try the bagel place that is opening in the house next to Raine and River. I think it's called City Bagels? Anyone know when it opens?

So far I haven't found a knock-your-socks-off bagel (in terms of just the bread, not necessarily an entire bagel sandwich) in JC. Yet I retain hope...

Edit to add: city bagels is at 301 Grove St. And it looks like Google maps is saying they're open. I haven't tried them yet but it looks like they're hyping a quality bagel on their website so might be worth it to try!

I had a bad experience with s&s where they were asked to fix a flat roof and couldn’t find the source of the leak. One night a literal flood came through the roof while he was working on the job and he never called us back. The issue was too big for him to handle and instead of stating this he just never returned the call and we had to find another contractor to finish the work. I also had just had a baby, so this was incredibly stressful. I would personally not recommend but maybe for a smaller job he would be okay.

Very true. I used to get j and j bagels in cliffside park and when I moved to JC no bagel I’ve had came even close. One would think we’d have a half decent bagel shop and a Trader Joe’s by now in a city right outside of Manhattan…

I usually love the soups at the Little Sandwich Shop downtown at 333 Grove St by Newark Ave.

Their chicken matzo ball soup is great + their tomato soup when they have it

Wasn't a huge fan of their New England clam chowder, but it's also not one they frequently that from what I've seen.
