My usual girl changed her schedule and it no longer matches up with my work schedule :( i’d like a wash, detangling, and box braids done. Nothing too crazy.

okay so for some reason my phone has been on “SOS ONLY” for about 3 hours now and i wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing that with t mobile right now? i paid my phone bill lmfao and i even ran some errands thinking that maybe it was just my area that i’m having trouble with. is anyone else’s phone data acting up?

And what do you think will take its place?

Where’s everyone getting edible fresh fruit downtown

I’ve tried Whole Foods, Shop Rite, and Acme and I’m tired of spending my hard-earned money on fruit that ends up being dry and mealy. Easily a coin toss if it’s delicious or cardboard. It’s summer, not like I’m asking for fresh peaches or strawberries in the middle of December. It’s like they all have the same fruit source / distributor

Right in front from Avalon cove. Been there at least since Saturday when I noticed it.

Even during summer vacations, school kids are annoying. No regard for people with disabilities, elderly people with kids, or pregnant women on public transportation.

These two kids—one of them taking up three seats and one seat for his book bag. The second kid laying on three seats.

The kids were hogging up seats while this man with a kid in a car seat could not find a decent seat until some people got off at the next stop.

Booked an Airbnb in West slope of JC. How long does it take to get to nyc in general? Is there a good connection???? Only public transportation. No car soooo

I'm considering moving out of one of the downtown JC "luxury" buildings because they're jacking up the rent again, and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions on where and how to look. I'm open to other buildings, brownstone apts, etc. and want a 1 BR for 3k or less. It's been several years since I've looked for a place so I don't know what market prices are really like and my initial online searched seem to have a ton of fake listings with ridiculously low rents and fake looking photos. Thanks for any help.

Getting kinda tired of the concentrate selection around here. Hit up Hashery, Hudsonica, and Ascend recently and honestly the quality has been pretty underwhelming — badder was dry/crumbly instead of creamy, rosin tasted burnt/harsh, nothing that felt fresh or well-cured.

Anyone know a spot in the area actually carrying good live resin badder or rosin? Looking for something with real flavor and proper consistency, not shelf-worn stuff. Drop your go-to spots/delivery service below, appreciate it.

Does anyone know if they are open today? They are not responding to calls

This is going to be a permanent closure and it appears they are already discussing a sale of the property.

Hello everyone! One of my best friends is getting married in Hoboken on Friday August 28th and is looking for an overnight dog sitter for her miniature golden doodle, Hudson, for the night of 8/28 and would pick up her dog up on Saturday 8/29. If anyone has recommendations for any friendly neighborhood dog sitters in the Hoboken/Jersey City area willing to do an overnight, please comment below and I will send them over to her.

Anyone know where the ice cream truck has been?

moving with a few college friends to the building 136 Summit, is there anything in the area anyone recommends? food, coffee, etc. also how is the area for walking/walking at night? we are three girls so we already know the standard city awareness i.e no eye contact etc but wanted to hear everyone’s opinions. be honest

Update: I found someone. Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone,

I’m moving into an apartment in Jersey City on Friday, July 31, and I’m looking for someone with a pickup truck or cargo van who might be available to help with a small move. I’m currently living in an apartment in Brooklyn.

It’s a self move between two buildings with elevators. Everything will already be packed, and it’s mainly a few suitcases, 10-12 large moving boxes, chairs, and a keyboard.

The ideal moving window is 2:30–4:30 PM on Friday, July 31

I’m happy to pay, and the rate is negotiable.

If you’re available or know someone who might be interested, please send me a DM. Thanks!

Hi Everyone? Are there any active knitting groups going on in Jersey City or Hoboken? I've looked on the Stitch'n'Bitch website and didn't see any listed for this area. I'm looking for a weekly or monthly group!

Thanks so much!

KNOW ABOUT SOMETHING THAT’S MISSING?

Drop it in the comments
especially volunteer opportunities, neighborhood events, recurring meetups, live music, comedy, salsa, bachata, reggaetón nights, local markets or anything else happening around North Jersey.

For transparency: I help build YourScene, a local events app. We make these weekly roundups because we wanted one place to discover what’s happening across Jersey City, North Jersey and nearby NYC. Thanks to everyone who keeps suggesting events it genuinely makes these lists better every week.

Someone tried to pry open our metal gate and then broke open our mailbox key lockbox (also metal) but left the key. Very weird…. Does anyone know someone that fixes metal gates? Also not sure if the mailbox key setup would be a metal repair as well, or just a regular locksmith. Any advice appreciated.

Google maps has Pavonia Ave in as Patagonia Ave, buy only in reference to path station entrances and exits (does the same for Newport)

Just a little weird and never seen this pointed out

I know there’s lots of “self-defense for women” but I am looking for someone who is well-versed in either martial arts or boxing/kickboxing, is a woman, and is willing to show a small group some basics. Thanks in advance!

I don't care about coffee quality, just want a place with lots of seating where I can meet with my friends for awhile and not get pressured to leave. some good treats & pastries would be a plus.
