As opposed to good!?

Been here all my life. If you weren’t raised here you won’t understand this but if you mind you business and keep your head down and don’t make eye contact then you’re good. Nothing I hate more than making small talk with strangers.

Correct, the owner of Brownstone Pancake Factory’s sister runs Life Pancake Company, and it all stemmed from the OG family diner in Jersey City. Won’t expect too much of the fun as BPF and not as expensive, but it works like a charm.

Agree with others here, the hours are a bit wonky for a diner restaurant like this, feels like they’d miss out on business if they only opened a bit earlier (maybe 7-8 AM some days), and/or did dinner service.

4PM or 5PM, so not an option if you're craving late night diner food or are visiting a patient late nearby.

The daughter who took it over did a complete re-brand, not for the better.

Cut portions + raised prices + shifted menu (no more combo for example and added avocado toast options), wanting it to not be a diner any longer. The one in Edgewater still has the same offerings and I believe her brother runs that.

These buildings are gonna collapse in 15 years.

Her parents ran it better. The renovation took away any character that place had and the food? Okay at best.

Dumbass scumbag. Truly the stupidest thing I've read today.

Yes! Sage is amazing!!

It’s the same people who ran it originally, just with a nicer interior

ive noticed this for years, my shower doors rattle and same with my oven racks, vases, etc.

It is. The original owners sold to their daughter and she rebranded

It's 151 Bay by Toll Brothers. There is a section of floors in the rendering that appear to jut out which aligns with these floors that have the slanted columns.

An 11 year downtown resident here (and a year back in the day but in jsq) and the only frequent crimes to me are the bad drivers / messenger bikers. Some property theft issues here and there. Otherwise it’s standard issue NYC area bad behavior — fare evasion, double parking, general assholery.

I’ve been feeling it too but I’m no where near downtown. Thought I was crazy.

My girls had beans

Fire is slang for 'great'

fire?

The data only show Crime Rate 1999-2018. About the 70s and 80s, I heard it was much worse. The city was less diverse and had so many crimes against the minorities that many families had to move

Their mudslides are god sent

Place ain’t bad at all, but yeah… kinda wish they stayed open a bit longer. I think the whole place usually closes up by 3 or 4 most afternoons.
