Welcome to Jersey City, NJ!

If you have, what was your experience? I’ve been thinking of attending at least one of these events, but would like to hear people’s perspective and experiences they’ve had at them, assuming they have attended. I have attended some of their free events like the coffee and walk, but never a speed dating or singles mixer.

Thinking about moving into Urby in a few months, the apartment is on the 64th floor.

Besides waiting for the elevator and great views, are there any pros/cons being up that high (almost to the top!)

New parents looking for favorite daycare options. By the time we are ready, our baby will be about 4-5 months old.

We have some close options to us now and will do the open houses but curious on any strong leads or ones to avoid. Hoping to hear some insight from the community.

New to the area. I’m trying to plan a dinner for Valentine’s Day. 21M and 19F. Both in college so we’re (I’m) looking for something that won’t break the bank either. Ideally in the downtown area of JC, but open to anything. Thanks!

Please no breeders. I want to adopt a kitten. Mostly as a companion for my older cat. She loves kittens, and I want her to have a life long companion, and I know that human companionship isn’t cutting it for her.

I’m also open to fostering.

I’ve recently been thinking about starting a car detailing business in JC. But I don’t want to buy all the equipment just to make no money back. Do you guys think it will work out?

Thinking about all the new Chinese restaurants which are very much catered towards people more familiar with the food. I’ve been eating much less meat and looking for new options but many menus are pretty impenetrable.

I suppose also other East Asian cuisines as well

Live in journal square and the apartment forbids residents smoke indoors. But I don’t like to smoke weed in the designated smoking area outside since it’s cold out there, and there are no beautiful views. So is there any place that I can stay for a while and smoke my weed comfortably? I don’t have any friends cuz I just got here for months… So there’s nowhere to go for me…

Seeking movie groups in area. Fellow cinephiles who get together at least once per month for movie and maybe dinner too

I submitted this to Traders. If you agree with the proposed location, copy/paste and maybe a bunch of submission will actually get them here.

**I tried for short and sweet: Journal Square Station is the perfect spot for Trader Joe’s to finally grace Jersey City with its presence. It’s got everything you love—a terrible parking situation and at least 50% inconvenience for shoppers. Plus, it’s a major commuter hub, making it ideal for all JC residents.

Right now, our only option is the Hoboken Trader Joe’s, which might as well be in another timezone. The round trip eats up at least 2.5 hours of our lives, and quite frankly, that’s offensive. It’s time to end the suffering. Please, make Jersey City your next stop. We deserve better.**

What the question says. My partner and I are looking to do a small elopement style marriage ceremony and want one of our friends to officiate the wedding. I read a few blogs about getting ordained but not entirely clear if after getting ordained using ULC or AMM online process, do they need to inform the local municipal or clerk office that they have registered to be an officiant to actually host the ceremony?

We are getting our wedding license in Jersey city and the clerks office said they don’t need anything but not sure if the state will when we apply for the marriage certificate.

If someone went through this and has any insight, it’s greatly appreciated.

I'm signing the lease soon but saw some comments two years ago complaining about roaches in East Hampton, not sure if it's still happening, wonder if anyone can share their experiences here, thanks!!

Found him near Monticello and Brinkerhoff. Just contacted Animal Control but they’re on 2 other emergency calls right now. So far I’m third in line. Hopefully this cutie looks familiar to someone here.

Hey folks! With the Super Bowl this weekend (I know a bit last minute), I wanted to know if anyone else is aware of local business to JC doing any Super Bowl catering specials? Really want to support a business in the area but would be okay venturing out to Hoboken, Bayonne, etc.

Looking to feed 5-7 people with a variety of apps and sandwiches. Something that offered veg and non-veg options would be great. Thanks in advance!

There is a guy who is sleeping in a small sedan for couple of weeks now in this extremely cold weather.

Is there nothing that can be done to help this guy out. He may have fallen on hard times.

What are some good bars for the Superbowl? Any Eagles bars? I just moved to JC from Union City and I don't know anyone here yet.

Has anyone know of any new condos coming for sale in the area ? I was searching but most of condos look old with crazy high HOAs. Was looking only the Canco lofts are newer but very far from path

I’m considering moving to 235 Grand but have seen some comments about poor noise insulation and ongoing construction within a few blocks. Is it really that bad? Do some units have less noise pollution?

Suspended only until 10a today, so everyone move your cars. Just FYI if you call the public works number (201-547-4900) it is NOT automated. In the future for anyone with phone anxiety, just say, "Hi, I'm calling to check if street cleaning is suspended for today?" They might forward you to another person, just say the same thing and they'll tell you.
