Tribeca West comes to Hoboken

Just about a year ago – one of Hoboken’s older single-family properties (with a yard!) was leveled to make room for this: Tribeca West.

Tribeca West, located on the SW corner of 10th & Jefferson Streets, is a modern building featuring 14 one, two and three-bedroom units from 800 to over 1,600 square feet. Many have decks, balconies and even private roof-top patios.

The building’s tagline is “Manhattan Living Comes West.”

About Tribeca West condo in Hoboken, NJ

Here’s what they have to say about it:

“With convenient deeded ground level parking on-site, this elevator building is built with reinforced structural concrete for the ultimate in soundproofing.

Experience “Green Living” as the building will be LEED certified with many energy efficient features including a Solar Thermal Hot water system to greatly reduce electric and gas expenses.

At the corner of 10th and Jefferson St., Tribeca West is conveniently located within a few blocks of bus services, the lightrail, shuttles to the PATH and is just steps from Shoprite.

Live and enjoy all that the “Mile Square” city has to offer in this unique luxury building.

Experience Manhattan Living West of the Hudson at Hoboken’s Tribeca West!!!!!!!!!!!!”

From what I can tell – this looks like a fine building. The top units will set you back over a million dollars, though.

However – what I’m trying to figure out is the marketing aspect behind this project. Perhaps someone can clue me in exactly what part of this building resembles “Manhattan Living?”

I mean there are many modern, upscale properties in town. And the neighborhood this property is in doesn’t quite bring memories of NYC to me. But maybe I’m missing something.

Either way – if this helps them sell more units, good for them!

The Bacon Truck coming to Hoboken, NJ!

Bacon – whether by lunch truck, brick & mortar or hot air balloon – is God’s gift to the world of humans! And almost straight from the heavens we have The Bacon Truck, coming soon to Hoboken!

Owner Jeff Pinette dreamed up this business which is quite unique. Not because they focus on Bacon, but pork-related treats from “responsible hog-friendly” farmers located in the northeast.

Another great thing about The Bacon Truck (beside the bacon) is the fact that they’re anti-GMO. We won’t get into that now, but the drums are beating louder against modified foods just for the sake of corporate profits.

Jeff said, “The Bacon Truck supports sustainability and responsible practices. Over time, The Bacon Truck will establish connections with farmers who take pride in working hard to resist a system that taints our food every day. They overcome obstacles and industrialized process to bring you the best food. As a mobile vendor, we are thrilled to carry their product to places they normally wouldn’t able to reach. As a result, you get the best quality – actually getting food the way it was supposed to be. Even more profoundly? It’s served with Bacon!”

Good luck, and we cannot wait for bacon! Stay tuned!

Head Gear – Hoboken, NJ – 257 First Street

Here’s one business we missed here at Hoboken411. Head Gear opened last month at 257 First Street. I believe that scaffolding next door clouded my vision as I speed around at twice the limit. Gotta get my peripheral vision checked, I guess.

Anway, owner and Hudson County resident Shawny identified a missing niche in town: Baseball caps. Sure, while some stores have a small selection, there is no dedicated store for caps!

They have hundred of different styles – for both adults and children. Shawny said the reception has been quite good so far.

Also available is a small selection of various t-shirts as well (nice to know considering Solid Threads got flooded out a few blocks away.)

Welcome to Hoboken, Head Gear!

Waffle De Lys cart graces Hoboken waterfront

Adding to the growing list of “mobile” type food vendors in Hoboken is Waffle De Lys.

Waffle De Lys sells affordable “Belgian Waffle with a French Touch,” and was last spotted near the fountain at the base of Pier A Park.

Waffles start out at $4 bucks each – and can be augmented with various toppings such as chocolate, caramel sauce, Nutella, whipped cream, berry coulis, caramelized hazelnut crubms, chopped peanut butter cups (I could go on).

Cost per topping is $1 each, or just $0.50 each if you pile on three or more. They also offer “premium” type toppings for a bit more ($2) such as ice cream and fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas.

Not sure what kind of schedule Waffle De Lys is keeping in town, but I’d suspect it’d be quite weather dependent.

Regardless – good luck with the waffles!

Hoboken flooding slams residents after spring rain shower

This morning, a heavy spring rain storm arrived on the shores of Hoboken exactly at the same time as high tide. The result? More Hoboken flooding.

Many residents had Hurricane Sandy flashbacks – with basements flooded all over the city. The west side, downtown, midtown and even along the uptown waterfront.

Certainly not to the extent as the superstorm of last year, but still has affected much of the city with traffic delays and minor damage. Not fun by any means!

The water has mostly receded at this point.

Here’s what Hoboken411 reader Kristin saw near the Shoprite this morning. Nearby buildings had their lobbies flooded. Bring back memories?
