I've always liked their bagels. It's just the ordering system that is aggravating. Some person taking your order and preparing it is archaic. One person designated to the register. One to taking orders. One for sandwiches. One for cream cheese. It's simple and efficient.

You have to get a referral to willingly overpay at their properties? Wow that is shocking.

>The Sip Ave location really has gone downhill. Stale bread, incorrect orders, poor hygiene and soo much more going sideways there.
So... they finally caught up to the DT location.

That’s because they don’t sell PECs. Just THECs 😉

Reply to comment by Jersey-City-2468 in Is the bus really more expensive than the PATH? by Jersey-City-2468
Nah talking about transit app it looks like a lowercause un merged together. Its has a green logo. This app has been a life saver for me. Live bus tracking and is free. I take the bus sometime between 7:30-8 and most days i can get a seat. I’m by the Pershing field stops. During the summer the bus would be packed and i ended up taking the 123 but recently the 119 has been chill. maybe cause of the cold? Idk your luck can vary

Bagels there are so-so. There are a few other good items. Jersey Ave location is favorite if there’s no line. Bergen ave location a close second.
The Sip Ave location really has gone downhill. Stale bread, incorrect orders, poor hygiene and soo much more going sideways there.

Reply to JFK Blvd pedestrian safety by gigiwasabi_jc
Regarding their corridor report: Anything undertaken by NJTPA or Hudson County traffic engineering must be taken with a grain of salt. Daylighting, curb extensions, and tallying past crash data and reasons are of course all great. But otherwise they simply don't have a pro-safety or modern approach to street design, especially in comparison to Jersey City and Hoboken.
One of their recommendations for improving safety is adding slip lanes, what they call a "channelized right turn". But dedicated right turn lanes and slip lanes are known to be quite dangerous for pedestrians because they are about speed and driver convenience, not safety. Jersey City has looked to eliminate them where possible. This is one of many good articles on why they are bad: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2019/11/5/slip-lanes-would-never-exist-if-we-prioritized-safety-over-speed
Another problem is the lane widths they have continued to use and even recommend in long-term concepts. Car lanes should be 10ft and bus/truck lanes can be 10.5 or 11ft. The 12ft lanes that exist along many JFK straightway segments tell drivers 50mph is safe even while the posted speed limit is 25mph.
Overall, Hudson County needs to adopt Vision Zero and pilot safety improvements regularly and quickly instead of always waiting for grants. Some of their safety projects are from Obama-era grants, and it is not an effective way of getting things done.
Here is the project website for improvements in the vicinity of Journal Square: https://www.jfkblvdproject.com/ The front page shows the JSQ bike rack. The public comments are pretty pro-safety and pro-bike facilities but of course the final plans provide none. Here's a recording of comments from one of the public meetings: https://www.jfkblvdproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/JFK-PIC-Minutes-07-15-20-Comments-Responses-FINAL.pdf
There has been an effort for traffic enforcement on JFK by JCPD West District that appears to have had some effect, but it's tough given how high the design speed is and how much bad driving occurs on the Boulevard.
It would be nice if there was regular release of stats on locations, times, severity of injuries for crashes but right now, the only regularly reported public data is the state police fatality data: https://nj.gov/njsp/info/fatalacc/index.shtml
SafeStreetsJC regularly posts/forwards about crashes in Jersey City, but it is based on citizen activity and is not comprehensive in any way: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23jccrashes

There’s a lot to explore in the area. Hillside itself is pretty dull, unless you’re into the sex shops on 22. If you can deal with the cold, South Mountain and Watchung reservations are nearby. Cranford and Westfield have nice downtowns worth waking. Elizabeth has more of an urban feel.
If you like to hang out at bars, there are plenty in the area. Liberty Tavern in Union is my favorite for a place that’s a bit of a dive. Short Hills Mall isn’t too far if you want to do some high end shopping.
