zooropagm Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 Ok let me tell you about the real Jersey City. I have lived there since Jan. 01 and i moved from the burbs. First of all the Grove st. area is sahdy as hell. AS a 23 yr old women i would never walk there alone at night. Secondly, there is little to do in the actual city itself. There is a great club called the Sand Bar. IT has a 20 conver on saturdays but it is always packed and if you like the club scene it is the only one to go to in JC. There is a bar called the iron monkey off of mongomery st. around the corner from the post office. Thats about it. Oddfellows on Mongomery st. was supposed to open months ago but now they are saying sept. 11. I know this becuase it is being built into the bottom of my building. Well Good luck!

mikeyinblack Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 I don't know about you guys but the Hoboken back streets like Jackson and the one beyond are real shady too. I'm never a big fan parking there(but I always end up having to) Grove is late night ok as long as you leave with the exiting PATH crowd and keep on going. But I recommend avoiding the ever tempting 24 hr Mickeys D's at grove with one worker. It attracts all kinds of wasted people looking to start something because they can't get there big mac fast enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J here is going to be my roommate and you guys are talking J-City up pretty well. Keep the comments coming. I had my doubts about this place, hiding in the shadows of Hoboken and NYC, but it looks promising.ThanksProteus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctwarrior Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 Let's try for a meetup after Labor Day. Its seems that a lot of us have plans and are rather busy up to this date. I wouldn't mind in helping out organize it, if a couple of others are willing to help. I propose that we try to meetup in a bar so we can all grab a beer and sit and chat. What do you guys think?

jasonct5 Posted August 24 Author Report Share Posted August 24 I'm down. Pick a place. Lets do it the Thursday after Labor Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trikki Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 There are some great little spanish restaurants on Jersey Ave. that serve rice, beans, etc. for little money but you get a lot of food for $3.00. Also, if you like polish food, try Tania's right down the block from Dunkin Donuts....great food. However, don't venture too far up Montgomery, because you will run yourself right into the projects. I don't know if I would walk alone anywhere in Jersey City at night. Oh, and if you have a car, careful where you park it. I know some friends who's cars have been broken into multiple times & sometimes the window is just smashed and nothing taken as if people have nothing better to do than to walk by and just break things.

SPYGIRL3 Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 I have been to a couple of good bars in Jersey City. I have friends that live there, but I'm not sure were the frequent. Sandbar is good on Fridays, and then there ia always Hoboken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
