What are the best diners in JC? Which is the preferable destination, Journal Square or Grove?
(No ulterior motives this time, just curious.) I'm getting accustomed to the PATH. It used to freak me out a little.

I'll e-mail the people I ate Cuban with to determine just where the hell I am talking about.

Hoboken? Loads of good restaurants along Washington St. , but I really don't like the Clam Broth House. I thought they were coasting on their reputation last time I was there. That was three years ago, though.
Enjoy!

and forget about "on the waterfront." that hoboken is as dead as sinatra (which reminds me, hoboken's got this weird sinatra fetish even though he got the hell outta there as soon and as fast as he could).

Are you talking about La Isla, on Washington St.? I miss that place more than I thought I would.
I just miss being able to walk a block away from my apartment and grabbing a hot roast beef sub from Vito's Deli. Some of the best fresh mozzarella on a sandwich I've ever had.

Jersey City Councilman Steven Lipski
A drunken Jersey City councilman was arrested for urinating on a crowd of concertgoers from the balcony of a Washington nightclub, police and club sources said Saturday.
Councilman Steven Lipski was caught relieving himself onto several revelers at the 9:30 Club during a concert by a Grateful Dead tribute band Friday night, club sources said.
"He was very drunk," the source said, noting that it wasn't the first time Lipski had caused a ruckus at the popular concert venue.SEE: SPITZER WON'T FACE CRIMINAL CHARGES
"We've dealt with this man before," the source added. "He's never peed on anybody, but he gets really belligerent and drunk."
Lipski, 44, was hauled out of the club about 9:50 p.m. after staffers spotted him in the act on the concert hall's second-floor balcony and called the cops.
The crass councilman, who is serving his second term in office since getting elected in 2001, was charged with simple assault, police said.
Attempts to reach Lipski were unsuccessful Saturday night. His aide, Irina Zaki, said the councilman was in Washington Friday night, but she had no knowledge of his arrest.
The lurid incident marks the second time in recent years that a Jersey City pol was caught with his pants down.
Photos showing Jerramiah Healy, still a councilman at the time, naked and passed out on his front stoop were widely circulated in 2004 days before he was elected mayor.

No way, are you serious?

Yeah, I take that particular train almost every morning. I'm thinking of all the people I see on a daily basis who would've still been on it at Hoboken. All strangers for the most part but some of them I've been seeing for years and they just start to feel like a small part of your life after a while, kind of a typical NY commuting thing I think. I'll be looking out for my usual conductor tomorrow.

Yikes. Glad you aren't part of the majority that rides it all the way in.
We heard enough sirens this morning that we got curious. And on the main road in Hoboken when sirens grab your attention it means something significant is going down.

official death toll apparently still at one, many critical injuries

“The train was going very fast,” said a transportation official. “There are structural concerns about the facility."
