Belgian beer....check. Mussels....check. Fries with a number of dipping sauces....check. Get there early to grab a couch or table area. Its dark inside and the bathroom line is constant, but they serve Kwak and Leffe Brown (which negates almost…More »

It's rated the best bar in America by Esquire. I didn't know that until I got there, but I could instantly see why. The rosemary garlic fries and mac and cheese are must haves, their Belgian home brewed beers (Resurrection and Ozzy) are $4.50 for a…More »
Is there always a Flyers game on in here?
This place has an impressive beer list and features my 3 favorite beers: Kwak, Leffe Brune, and St Bernardus 12. Nuff said!
One of the most expansive world beer menus I have ever seen. Its centrally located, making it an easy compromise for anyone (near 33rd Path station, LIRR, Grand Central, MSG, red/green subway lines, etc). Try to settle into a couch in the back -…More »

My Venn diagram for a great bar includes:
- Great beer selection....CHECK. They have a few LCD screens above the bar showing their craft / Belgian beer selection - they even have Leffe Brune
- Attentive bartenders....CHECK. Nothing is worse than…More »

If I had to rank how much I love pork belly on a scale of '1' to 'pork belly', I would have to give it a 'pork belly'.
We came here on a mission - 3 of us were going to take down the entire pork belly ($45). I ordered a Kwak and we went with the…More »
Things I hate:
- Sweat moustaches
- Rorschach drawings made out of sweat on my back
- Beads of sweat having relay races down my neck / chest
I love this small hole in the wall bar, but their air conditioner must have come out of an '89 Honda Accord (it…More »
It's very rare that I find 3 of my favorite beers in the same place:
- Kwak
- St Bernardus 12
- Leffe Brune
Le Pub Saint-Alexandre seems like such a weird fit - a pub in the middle of quaint idyllic Old Quebec. They have over 200 beers available, live…More »
I live in the neighborhood so its one of my go-to places (especially when I receive a complimentary wine bottle offer in the mail) and one of the first delivery menus that I grab. I have my constant favorites:
- Chorizo, Wild Mushroom, Smoked Gouda,…More »

The funny thing about this place is I always think there is nothing that I like on the menu and there is a ton of great stuff that I rotate between:
- Chicken Breast Sandwich
- Braised Beef Slides (heaven)
- Chicken Wings with lemon chili sauce - great…More »

Wow, I've now found my favorite sandwich at Fresh Salt:
- Pork with melted swiss, avocado, jalapeno relish, dijon on seeded roll
Need I say more!? If you really want to make your mouth water, get the salt and vinegar chips....gulp.
Its a very laid back place with a rustic appeal - the inside has exposed brick walls, early pictures… Read more »
This place is somewhat of a conundrum (a confusing and difficult problem) - I like their food, love their "gourmet flair", but I don't eat here a lot (couple times a year and I live in the neighborhood).
After going out on Saturday night, I had no…More »
Do you drink beer?
Do you drink wine?
Do you drink liquor?
Do you hate NJ's antiquated Liquor laws?
If you answered yes to any of the above, than this place is for you. This place has just about anything (Belgian beers, microbrews, obscure regional…More »
My supermarkets of choice in Jersey City are A&P/Target, but occasionally ShopWrong has some pretty good sales (you can't beat $0.40 pasta).
Good

Me: Hi, where's the whole milk?
Guy behind the register: *mumble, mumble* out of stock.
(How are they out of stock on whole milk when they sell coffee?)
The only reason I come here is when I don't want to drive all the way to Target to pick up milk (and…More »
