Historic Downtown:

Seconding a few that were mentioned above - a good salad place would be great. I’m also craving good Chinese food. Also while Pauli’s Hook has sushi in spades, I have not seen any good sushi takeout in the area though I love Scale.

Also wouldn’t mind a craft or thrift store that wasn’t high end, especially on the pedestrian main area.

I really wish the former bank (Trust Company of Jersey City) that’s on Newark & Jersey Ave could be repurposed into a community space that’s either a food hall like Chelsea Market or a space for local retailers like Artists & Fleas.

I’d love a used bookstore in the area, Word is great but I also go in far less now that it’s moved over to Hamilton Park.

In one of the former dollar stores, would love to have an Ace Hardware store equivalent Home Depot requires a drive and wouldn’t mind a place to have within walking distance.

Is the church on Erie and 2nd doing the used book sales again? Know they paused during the pandemic but used to do it every Sunday and I got some great finds there.

Again, on the hardware store front, just go to Central Paint on Montgomery.

For really good sushi takeout try the Wisp food truck.
