It looks like they have a new menu and a liquor license now. And I hear rumors that there are new owners – can anyone confirm? I haven't been since they closed down for a few weeks to "remodel the kitchen".

By the way, they're today's Groupon.

Creme Brulee at a Japanese-Thai Fusion joint? For shame!

Give it another week or so.  They are still trying to get things smoothed out and make...interesting mistakes.  The more amusing one was was putting a layer of salt on the creme brulee rather than sugar.  My wife told me that I *had* to try it after she did and I didn't clue in to the mischievous glint in her eye.

I missed it.  Did anyone go? How was it?

I will refrain from second-guessing the owner of three successful downtown Jersey City restaurants (i.e., Sawadee, More and Sky Thai) in his choice of grand opening time or his opinion of whether DTJC can support yet another Thai or Asian fusion restaurant. *Clearly*, he thinks it does.

On a Tuesday.

But if I've got nothing else going on tomorrow night (and as of right now, I'm all clear), I'll probably check it out.

From Ox to Box . . . I actually thought the sign was a prank.

Am I the only one who thinks "Box" might not be the best name for a restaurant?

"I'm hungry for Box tonight"

"Did you see Box last night? It was packed!"

"I tried to get into Box's opening, but it was too crowded. I had to wait on line."



I could do this for hours . . .

I saw the owner of Sawadee coming out of the space the other day. It looks like he's behind this new venture.

Are you referring to the bums that hang out on that stretch of Newark.


I hope they do something soon. Between the old Ox and the new Barcade spaces, Newark Ave is looking/smelling quite repulsive.
Darna: could someone please splain to me why a person in a gang is called a gangbanger but a gangbang has nothing to do with gang activity?

shahaggy: can't believe I'm saying this but +1 jehu

[02:58 PM] MCA: it's not stalking, it's caring enough to find out things she won't tell you herself

[01:35 PM] shahaggy: fine but jehu's correct

TheFang: as much as it pains me to say, jehu might be right.

One time, I hired a monkey to take notes for me in class. I would just sit back with my mind completely blank while the monkey scribbled on little pieces of paper. At the end of the week, the teacher said, "Class, I want you to write a paper using your notes." So I wrote a paper that said, "Hello! My name is Bingo! I like to climb on things! Can I have a banana? Eek, eek!"
