Will NY Giants Sugar Cookies enable a Super Bowl Win?
The girls over at Ganache Cafe uptown (15th & Washington) have a perfect treat just in time for next weekend’s big Super Bowl: New York Giants sugar cookies! I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact Hoboken resident Eli Manning makes frequent pit stops at Ganache and happens to live just a few feet away!
$3.95 apiece, they’re sure to fly off the shelves, so pick yours up and be the hit of your Super Bowl party! If you want to call them now to secure your batch of cookies – give them a call at (201)792-0999.
It’s nice when local Hoboken businesses reach out and help charity organizations in New Jersey.
In this instance, Via Mode(404 Washington St.) is holding an event this Sunday, January 29th (12 to 3pm) – in which a portion of the sales on that day will be donated to K.I.D.S. (kids in distressed situations) a global kid’s charity.
They have over 30 locations in the Northeast (including two in New Jersey – Short Hills and Paramus).
But one thing we discovered last week (as I was buying yet more “shrinking bling” at the Short Hills Mall) is that Legal Sea Foods – besides being a tasty restaurant – also has a separate menu just for those that suffer from Celiac Disease.
While that ailment is not pleasant by any means – it’s also an immediate opportunity for people living the low-carb life to get an easy menu to order from.
Burgers with no buns, meals with no wheat, and anything else that is gluten-free. Either way – Legal Sea Foods, despite their chain status, is a fantastic place to visit and eat. Recommended by Hoboken411.
Simple Hoboken business update – we received word (kind of a long time ago), that Anthropologie is indeed confirmed coming to the old Blockbuster location at 412 Washington Street.
And to remind everyone of the big question at large: Will this help small local businesses – or just turn Hoboken into “The Giant Mile Square Strip Mall?”
Gosh – I need to spend more time on Second Street in Hoboken! I somehow missed that D & G Interiors moved into 163 2nd Street(formerly a group practice psychotherapy office) recently.

Sol Caribe: Finally, a winner at 518 Washington in Hoboken!
Lots of things have been said about the previous restaurants that have occupied the spot at 518 Washington, people often used the phrase “revolving door” due to the lack of sustainability in this location.
The primary reason other restaurants didn’t last long is that it’s very hard to have a high-end / high-cost establishment succeed without a liquor license, which this space is missing.
Enter Sol Caribe, who finally found the right formula for what we hope will be long-term success. Read about our first experiences below!
Top 5 reasons Sol Caribe will thrive on the Avenue
Sol Caribe has all the ingredients to survive in this highly competitive (and often difficult to manage) city. Why do we think they’ll score a home run?
GREAT VALUE Like I mentioned above, many of the previous restaurants tried to be high end, which severely limits your potential clients.
Sol Caribe has two ways to obtain tasty & affordable meal options: The $7.99 all day special (see flier), where you pick a protein, veggie, rice and another side to round out your hearty dish. Those specials are mixed up throughout the week to keep things interesting. Next, most of the full entrees are between $9 and $13 (including two sides), with just a few hovering in the $18, $19 range.
That price point is perfect for most customers – from students at Stevens, all the way up to the high rollers in Hoboken.
BYOB In this economy, people who can afford “luxury” dinners, probably don’t care whether the restaurant is bring-your-own or not.
However, those who love BYOB restaurants – most likely also love getting a meal that is a good value.
