So we're moving to Jersey City

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

:cry:

It's only temporary so we can knock down the debt and buy a place maybe in Brooklyn or Harlem in a year or two. I'm gonna miss Manhattan but Jersey City seems ok so far.

1. I lived in exile in Jersey City for Six Years

Two by Grove Street and four by Journal Square. Favorite diner - the VIP on Sip. Plus if your into Taekwondo at all, there's a great school by Journal Square.

8. Near the Sand Bar? Are you on the Light Rail line?

I love the Sand Bar.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

12. Right around the corner from the Light Rail on Monitor ST

[bettyellen]

17. ah hah, well, there's some galleries and stuff springing up there, not as

yuppied out as it's getting by the courthouse of course. but that rail line is speeding up the changes.
the Sand Bar is down Grand past the Hosiptal and hang a right on to Marin. Which is where the Marina and Park/ Ride for the Ferries are.
afternoons and early evenings it's just a grungy pleasant outdoor bar, very odd mix of commuters and boaters. i guess it's still a serious night club too, but it's great for happy hour this time of year.
