Seriously, Comfort is better than any place I've tried in the South, including the "legendary" Mama Dip's in Chapel Hill.

1) Lombardi's -- seems like sort of a best kept secret. AMAZING italian deli and gourmet pizza
2) Dosa Hut -- in the little India section, very tasty dosas, (as featured in The Voice)
3) Rasoi -- a good standard Indian restaurant

That asshole proprietor of Dosa Hut kicked me out last Sunday because - in his words - "you are taking too long to eat and I need your table". Mind you, I had my dosa all of five minutes and the place wasn't even full. I had been a steady customer of the place since they opened, but the fool decided to single me out. Never again. I left my food and walked.
― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 06:25 (nineteen years ago) link
Snap. I've never tried those places.
Madame Claude (French) and Marco and Pepe are both pretty good, but they're not cheap and everyone already knows about them. Ibby's Falafel is ok if you're looking to eat for 3-4 bucks. La Congajuita (Cuban) on Manilla is better than Hard Grove but kind of uneven.
That story about Dosa Hut is ridiculous.

Yes, it is.
So I guess the majority of you live in the Grove St. area? Lucky. I love Hamilton Park (that's what that little park surrounded by brownstones is called, right?) and wish I could afford to live down thereabouts.

Definitely.
Is the Vietnamese place over there better than the one on Newark Ave. more towards downtown? Cause that one was a little disappointing -- food was ok but everything was a bit sweet and bland.
― Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 19:28 (nineteen years ago) link
The Ethiopian cafe I also mentioned is tiny but theirs is the best Ethiopian I've had yet. And hella spicy.
― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 20:56 (nineteen years ago) link
That is so key. The waiter at Wild Fusion (Thai) on Grove admitted to me that they don't actually use lemongrass.
I dig Ethiopian too -- Makeda in New Brunswick was pretty awesome, so I'll be impressed if it beats that.

Yes, I have a rather unusual/unorthodox living situation and the rent is much cheaper than market for the area. The Grove area is ok but seems a little deader than it should be. Bars close too early (12pm in some parts).

As disappointing as Jersey City is in terms of music, nightlife, etc., the food situation has become really good.
Within walking distance of my place now I have very good Vietnamese, taqueria Mexican, Italian deli, and decent Greek, Cuban, and falafel/shawarma, all cheap, plus a couple of good coffee places, an excellent tea shop, and two mid to higher price-range places I like (Marco & Pepe, Madame Claude). One PATH stop away (Journal Square) there are a bunch of good Indian restaurants, both Northern and Southern, as well as the Egyptian fish place, and in the other direction (by the waterfront) there are a couple of very good, not-too-expensive sushi places. I don't really like the one thai place near me, but another one is about to open a few blocks from my apartment.

The area from Grove Street to the water is getting more and hideous every day. I kind of assumed as more money poured into the area they'd at least build nicer buildings, but the whole thing just looks like a mid-level finance worker storage area (which I guess is what it is) - like I expect the buildings to be full of cryo-freeze compartments instead of actual dwellings.

Food update: The Little Sandwich Shop, which just opened on Manilla, is a very good, inexpensive deli.

JERSEY CITY (CN) - Parents say an Alcorr Transit bus driver showed hardcore pornography to 28 preschoolers on a field trip to the Land of Make Believe. Apparently it was inadvertent, but it continued "for several minutes" until the driver responded to "the screams and shouts of the parents." The preschool, PRR Corp., says it hired Alcorr to take 28 children, ages 3 to 8, on a field trip. Apparently the bus driver watched the movie while the kids and parents were at the park, then left it on after the children returned for the ride home. "As the bus was traveling, the children and adults were subjected to the graphic images and sound of said hardcore pornographic movie," according to the complaint in Hudson County Court. "The passengers were subjected to this for several minutes before the driver turned it off as a result of the screams and shouts of the parents. "As a result of this incident, numerous parents removed their children from plaintiff's preschool, causing plaintiff a severe loss of income. Further, as a result of word of the incident spreading throughout the community, plaintiff suffered numerous cancellations in its enrollment and a great decrease in the number of applications for future enrollment, resulting in a severe loss of income." Plaintiff is represented by Lonny Hirsch.
