How about that? Pete Rose, the all-time hits leader in Major League Baseball mentions Hoboken in this kind of sad ESPN documentary which details his life as a minor act in Las Vegas. He said he’d rather be here if he could make the same money hawking autographs and memorabilia!
h/t to Logan for the tip!

Boy, the crew working at the Maxwell Place site uptown is plowing ahead at a record rate (although “management doesn’t think so” according to workers).
The site should be fully completed by summer of 2014.
In the photo below – your last glimpse of the elaborate under-belly of the new building – it will never be seen again once the concrete is poured.
And here’s a 60 second clip of the construction for those who have jobs and can’t enjoy watching the machinery in motion.

Not sure what’s worse. This highly promoted “WAHH Quantum Sensations” that has been making a buzz (no pun intended) on the internet lately – or the fact that a few Hoboken parents are actually concerned about this fruity spray. Hoboken411 received almost a dozen emails from local parents. Here’s the scoop:
“There’s now a way to get a buzz on in just a few seconds – and without the harmful effects (or delicious taste) of alcohol. It’s a mouth spray called “WAHH Quantum Sensations,” that’s emitted from a small lipstick-sized aerosol device made by American scientist David Edwards and French designer Philippe Starck, who unveiled the product in Paris last week. One squirt amounts to 0.075ml of booze, the minimum amount needed to make the average brain feel boozy. The rush only last a few seconds and quickly wears off, leaving you sober as a church mouse. Initial plans are to sell the spray in Europe for around $26, and each container is good for 21 alcoholic hits.”
OK, let me see if I understand this.
“The rush only lasts a few seconds.”
Isn’t that the same as holding your breath, or doing those “whip-it” canisters? Who the hell would pay through the nose for a buzz that lasts a few seconds? Would you ride a roller coaster that was 6 feet long? (that question doesn’t apply to midgets, sorry!) Even if you got a 10 second buzz per spray, you’d have to pay close to $500 for an hour worth of “buzz.” My call? FAIL.
Hoboken parents, you have nothing to worry about.

Extreme foodies know the importance of winning an annual James Beard Foundation Award.
Marciel Presilla – who operates Cucharamama, Zafra, and Ultramarinos – was named Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic. Which means she beat out all chefs in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and Washington D.C. for this prestigious award. It wasn’t the first time she was nominated, but she finally won the coveted title in this year’s ceremony.
Congrats, Marciel!
Are you an aspiring Chef in the New Jersey or New York area?
I spoke with a Senior Casting Producer at FOX again – and found out they’re seeking contestants for the next season of Hell’s Kitchen – and they want folks from New Jersey! Not sure if it’s the wacky cast of characters that have floated to the “top” of the TV spectrum these days (like Jersey Shore, Cake Boss, etc.) – but she said that “We’re casting anywhere in the greater NYC area, but we seem to find the best characters in New Jersey. Even if they weren’t born and raised, something just happens once they get to NJ!”
