And 350k Marriott points!

We all do a lot of dumb things in our 20s that we don't repeat in our 30s. The best thing to come out of any Smorgasbar is the Corn Kid.

> Almost certainly not. Pretty sure the Lutze was named after the grandfather of the CEO of Mack-Cali, who was forced out by a new board and is no longer the CEO.

Ah, that certainly won't happen then, but they could call it "shitty place to have a drink" and I would still go every nice night in the summer. In fact, I hope they re-name it to that so people who don't know stay away.

Wonder if Smorgasbar will go back to the Lutze branding they had when they first opened. I don't care what they call it, that place is awesome. Smorgasburg was a waste of time and money.

I may be in the minority here, but I never really understood the hype about Latham House, everything was just so basic and bland on the few times I gave them a try. There are already plenty of restaurants in downtown that have similar menus with better execution, surprised they lasted as long as they did.

> I've seen many people doing endless HP laps

That sounds so incredibly boring, but I guess if you live nearby and can't go too far away from home for whatever reason you have to make do with what you've got.

This sub needs a counter on the banner: "r/jerseycity, it's been XX days since the last tables in the Hudson post"

Ah, yes, you have to take multiple elevators or schlep your bike up stairs/escalators to get to street level at WTC, but there’s nothing stopping OP from wearing a backpack and putting their shoes in there once they change into their rollerblades while already on the HRP path.

> Not sure how to exit the PATH station to the street though, this is a constant battle

Are you serious? Can you not follow signs or crowds of people also exiting the PATH and going to the same place? I don’t mean to sound like a jerk, but this is hilarious.

>Did you mean VYY?

Or perhaps VYV?

Ubers are going to be annoying from Brooklyn/lower Manhattan overnight for the next few years with the WB Holland Tunnel closure, probably best to take an Uber to WTC and use the RidePATH app to judge when to actually go to the station so you're not waiting on the platform for 30+ minutes.

Their poor daughter, I don't know how you cope as a 14 year old having just witnessed your father shooting and killing your mother. I hope she has a strong extended family support system, such a tragic loss.

Clear also ran that idiotic “give your friends the gift of Clear” promo over the holiday season where members could gift Clear access to their friends and family for 1 trip, it led to a bunch of inexperienced travelers bogging down the lines from Thanksgiving—New Years, I ended up just going through the normal Pre Check line to save time.

Lots of sushi places have lunch specials where you get 2 rolls (plenty of vegetarian options, you don't need to get fish) and soup or salad for ~12-$15, a little higher than $10, but still a good deal to mix things up from the usual sandwiches.

shhhh...don't blow up my spot!

> you get one free personal workout with a trainer

Unless you have very specific items you want to address with a trainer in that one session (i.e. form checks), I'd suggest skipping the free session altogether. They're just sales opportunities and you'll likely get a very hard sell on signing up for recurring sessions, both during the free session and afterwards (in email and whenever you'll see that trainer at the gym).

Grilled or fried? For grilled, O'Hara's actually has a really great version (it's on the menu as the deluxe burger, just select grilled chicken as the protein and add blue cheese and buffalo sauce). I haven't tried their chicken cutlet version so can't speak to the fried, but Left Bank has great fried chicken sandwiches in general and could probably hack a buffalo chicken sandwich for you.
