Shades: Repossession Notice
07
July
7/7/2009:
What now?
Shades of Hoboken, as well as the Monroe Center for the Arts (720 Monroe Center) has always been a bit of a mystery to me.. I’m not sure if they’re coming or going, or what the future state of the site and the business is. Like they say “I can’t get a straight answer…”
Last year, some bankruptcy news about the Monroe Center surfaced – and Shades was sometimes open, sometimes closed – some comedy events – but never consistent.
Now, Hoboken411 reader nacholibre spotted this “repossession” notice on the door of Shades. Your guess what will happen next.

I do not understand shades. It started as an upscale place to eat, then closed down, and now has concerts and events every once in a while. How do the owners pay rent or even support the place? It is crazy.

I found out today that “management” has resolved the issue, and that the repossession notice is no longer in effect.

Restaurants are good for laundering money.

Not hard to make enough money to keep this place open if you never pay your mortgage……ha ha.

Maybe they should change the name of the place to Shady’s.

I went to a comedy show there a few months ago. The show was good, but there was only about 12 people (inlcuding my group of 5) in attendance. I would go back but cannot tell when they are going to be open.

its sad… a more casual, affordable restaurant would probably have done alright there.

I agree, there is nothing decent in that part of town and a nice casual place with decent food and prices would be perfect.

I agree with you guys. An affordable place would have thrived back there.
Something was not right from day 1 with these people. Nonetheless, I hope they get their act together.

I did a lot of remodeling work for a couple of restaurants and the ownwers of these places told me it takes between 15& 18 months to tell if the place is going to do good. And at one point they owned 5 places in central new jersey, so I made extra sure That I got paid asap.

I went there for brunch a long time ago. Good stuff.
Don’t know what’s happened since then. But if Shades tanks, the establishment might make a good childcare facility. Not another Beyond Basic but you know…
