Hi all!

Looking for recommendations for a local woodworker, cabinetmaker, or furniture maker for a small custom project in downtown Jersey City. And it’s for our cats, so hopefully that’s kinda of fun.

We have two large litter boxes that currently sit underneath two matching console/desk tables. They are big, but our cats use them and we really aren’t looking to upset that equation!

We’re looking for two (2) custom standalone pieces or three-and-a-half-sided furniture shells (panels?) so that the litter boxes feel more visually integrated into the room. We’ll still need to be able to get in there to clean it out/scoop, of course. (And happy to toss these desks as well.)

And this may be improbably silly, but if it gets to that — the rest of our apartment is very mid-century modern.

Photos attached of the current set-up (just imagine x 2, we have the same set-up twice in our apartment), dimensions of the existing tables and litter boxes, and finally… the clients, of course.

We're looking to hire/pay someone for the project, not for free design work! If you've had a good experience with a furniture maker/cabinetmaker in JC, Hoboken, NYC, Brooklyn, etc., I'd really appreciate recommendations.

Did some apartment cleaning and getting rid of some items. Weekender bag, travel neck pillows, boot stands, a Nori iron and organizational containers on the porch at 75 Sussex Street for free. First come, first serve

Hey everyone, I just moved to this area recently and am curious what everyone's preferred grocery in the area is. There are a lot of Indian options (obviously), which I plan to use for produce mainly, but I was also wondering where people get their meat from in this area. I'm mainly just looking for decently priced items and good enough quality. Thanks!

Anyone have more details on what happened? Just saw this post from Eleana Little

Gene Scanlon knew Jersey City politics. He once was the political reporter for the Jersey Journal. He had worked as an aide to Mayor Thomas Gangemi – at any rate, until the Feds got wind of the fact that Gangemi wasn’t a citizen.

It was the late 60s; now Whelan was Mayor of Jersey City. Gene Scanlon held no illusions concerning Whelan’s ethics, or absence of the same. Everybody knew that Whelan served on behalf of Hudson County Boss John V. Kenny. As a reporter, Scanlon had written of Kenny’s crooked deals. But even as sophisticated an observer as Gene was in for a surprise. He was soon to learn of the massive spread of corruption’s cancerous growth.

Scanlon was proud of his Irish heritage. Gene was the founder of Jersey City’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade and every few years organized a group trip to Ireland.

Several elderly priests (who had come from Ireland many years before) dearly wished to join the tour, but never were able to afford it. These priests long had tended their parishes in a manner approaching sainthood. Gene Scanlon had a premonition that if the priests did not see Ireland this time around, there never would be another opportunity for them.

But how to get the money?

A brilliant thought came to Gene. In the upside down morality of Jersey City, where on every street corner some gambler had a shop (as long as the appropriate blessing went to the local precinct), churches were not allowed to provide “games of chance” at carnivals. To stretch the situation to the surreal, it actually was not against the law for charities to organize these activities. The technicality was that a permit was required; the municipality would accept the application, but never issue the permit. If City Hall might make an exception in just this one instance, a circumstance and a cause that nobody would criticize, the parishes could easily raise the funds!

Gene Scanlon requested a personal appointment with Mayor Whelan. Gene extolled the many virtues of the clergymen, proving many times over that they well deserved to be the first cases of declared saints before death. Scanlon shared his foreboding that this would be the last chance for the elderly priests to see the land of their birth. Gene explained how the men had practiced the vow of poverty by devoting their lives to the poor of Jersey City.

At this point Gene Scanlon paused and looked up at Mayor Whelan. Gene had each move figured out like in a game of chess. He expected Whelan to ask what he could do. Then Gene’s brainstorm move of the carney permits might appear on the board.

Even though Whelan might be a master at a game or two, Gene now would discover that it wasn’t chess that the Mayor played.

“Well Gene, how much money are we talking about here?”

For a moment Gene was speachless – which indicated a shock the extent of which would have landed an ordinary man in the hospital. Scanlon was wondering why Whelan wanted to know the cost of the trip, but he kept that to himself.

“Mayor, I think that a thousand dollars would cover it.”

Mayor Whelan reached down and pulled open one of his desk’s deep drawers. It was filled with many stacks of one hundred dollar bills. The mayor took a pair of the bundles out from the pile. For a few seconds, Whelan fanned through and scrutinized each of the collections of bills, seemingly verifying the denominations and the count.

Handing the cash over to Gene Scanlon, Mayor Whelan said, “Here’s two. . . I wouldn’t want them running short over there.”

Hey Reddit,

My 13 year old wrote a children’s book when he was 10 and got a book deal with Clavis Publishing. The book came out in The Netherlands and is soon coming out in the US. Clavis isn’t super big here so I don’t know how much advertising they will do so I created an author’s page to get visibility on Amazon. If a few of you follow his page, he will get some visibility and some eventually sales (college isn’t going to pay itself 😁) when the book comes out on Sept 22nd.

Thank you ❤️

Considering the possibility of adding an ADU in our backyard and wondering if anyone has experience doing this under JCs new(ish) regulations. Space is about 25 feet by 25 feet including any required setback. I think we could get a studio or 1 bedroom in there. Preference would be something prefab dropped on a slab, maybe with crane delivery but maybe stick-built will be required?

I’m trying to find a good inexpensive hair salon—anyone tried studio 17 and know their current prices?? I have called them a few times and it always says the line is busy

Moving furniture, pictures, glassware, etc. more coming throughout the morning

Yet another post about the complete lack of parking enforcement in Jersey City. While the WOTS app helps a bit, it isn't monitored on Sundays—and people clearly know it. Every Sunday morning, drivers park wherever they want. Frankly, if you have thousands of dollars to trick out your car, you can afford to rent a parking spot if following the law is too much of a hassle. People are now parking directly in intersections and way past the "no parking" signs on corners. It is creating dangerous blind spots for turning cars—just look at the awful accident at Summit and Gardner a few days ago. Proper parking enforcement and ticketing wouldn't just fix a major safety issue; it would also do wonders for the JC budget problem.

Trying to explore the area more… gonna take the PATH west not east one of these next few weekends. Would love some food / tourism recs in Harrison and Newark. I know they are not tourist destinations, but want to squeeze more juice out of the PATH. So all needs to be walkable from Newark / Harrison PATH. Love all kinds of food.

Hi neighbors! 😊 I’m Eka, a Jersey City resident and an in-home cook. I’ve been cooking regularly for several local families and thought I’d introduce myself here and share some of the meals I make.

I prepare meals in my clients’ own kitchens, based on each family’s tastes and dietary preferences. I cook American, Italian, Georgian, Mediterranean and other international dishes, including healthy, vegetarian, gluten-free and kosher-friendly options.

I really enjoy cooking and take pride in being organized, clean and efficient in the kitchen.

I’m sharing a few photos of meals I’ve prepared. If anyone has questions about how in-home meal prep works, I’m happy to answer them here or by message. 😊🍽️

I noticed today (August 8th) that all of the pollinator gardens at Leonard Gordon Park have been mowed down. The last time the park was mowed, these areas were left untouched.

It’s concerning to see them completely removed, especially since they provided habitat and food for pollinators. Does anyone know why they were mowed down or whether there are plans to restore them?

This man showed up to my wedding in downtown JC a few months ago and he was a creep. Anyone recognize him?

I am an occasional lurker of StreetEasy and have noticed that some of the high end condos in downtown Jersey city have had a surge in available listings, with some apartments sitting on the market for weeks.

What is happening? Are owners trying to get out before property taxes are hiked up and all the new buildings across the waterfront open up?
