What new spot does the heights need that’s currently lacking? To really make it a stand out neighborhood. Restaurants, grocery, retail, bar, etc.

I’d rather not have Trashford clones in the Heights. 512 Quantum Sound was an absolute shitshow every weekend before they started at closing at midnight.

This is the answer. I don't live in the Heights, but there are some spots that look very cool. Fuck me if I can figure out a good way to get to them.

I feel like we have a decent number of murals, but yeah more public art is a good one.

This part is a culture problem - there's nothing inherently wrong with nightlife and a decent amount of people (like myself) are dying for REAL nightlife with real people enjoying real DJs playing real, good music. That gets ruined by the weird alcoholic booze culture people have going on around here.

An old school pizzeria anywhere along Palisade. It's a pizza desert except for LoFi which I don't count.

Curious what kind of people you're talking about
reddagod t1_jd8kx8q wrote
Yes. People such as myself who grew up here. I’ve seen way too many fam and friends be priced out
kittyglitther t1_jd8l2lc wrote
There's bread and salt, but that's not especially old school
caroline_elly t1_jd8mioy wrote
I mean your parents / grandparents probably moved here too. Which is fine. Jersey City welcomes immigrants.
Blecher_onthe_Hudson t1_jd8n3l2 wrote
Correct. I'm talking plain old slice joint like is found almost anywhere else in town. There's at least 4 places to get spanish rice & beans plates along Palisade, but no pizza.

A poutine spot would be ideal. It’s such a good late night snack

I’m not upset at people who move here, but at the processes that make it difficult to stay.

A lot, and close. At one point where I live in HP we had 6 slice joints within a 5 minute walk! If Delenio's doesn't reopen we'll be down to 3. Shudders....

where are you located? I just counted like 19 free-to-use spots (all of which are utilized) on my short small block. hardly missing from the neighborhood.
now, safety features that aren't speed bumps...things like corner bumpouts....those are largely missing

Not on Palisade. And if you're in the southern Heights, it's a real hike to any of the Central places. It's astonishing there's no pizza by Christ Hospital, you'd think that would be a slam dunk!
Jersey-City-2468 OP t1_jdcd8y9 wrote
Yeah you’re definitely correct there. When you compare to downtown or Hoboken. There are very few pizza places in the Heights.

Personally I feel lofi quality of food/drinks has dropped. Last summer/spring I was in the backyard area, the seats and greenery was not kept up.

An authentic/good east asian cuisine. I've tried many if not all the places here and all were very disappointing.

I walk by that place nearly everyday. I was getting worried because, once the neon went up, literally nothing was happened for at least 2 or 3 months. Started to wonder if it was ever going to open. But the last 2 weeks or so have been nothing but activity so it looks imminent. Looking forward to trying it
