Not sure what’s going on here at the Calle 6 Cuban Deli at Park & 6th, but it sure looks closed – just about six months after opening. The website is still online as well as their Facebook page, but no notice of closure anywhere.
The food was pretty good here, too. Oh well – what would succeed at this spot? Is it just the lack of exposure and street traffic?

Hoboken NJLooks like Hoboken’s love affair with Falafel is showing signs of fatigue. A few days ago, Ibby’s Falafel at 614 Washington Street called it quits. The reason for their demise could be one or more of the following:
Perhaps it’s even the block they’re on – because Hummus Bar a few doors down also seems to be suffering a bit these days as well.
Why do you think they crashed?

Hoboken NJWhenever I walked past this dumpy deli / bodega at 1222 Washington St., I wondered “is this a highway or a deli?”
Regardless – they’re out of business now. Apparently involved some internal “disputes.” Some of the neighbors in this area are kind of glad, because any establishment that sells cigarettes individually for a buck usually attracts a certain clientele.
What would be good here? A place that makes good bagels? A juice bar? Gun shop?

Hoboken NJHoboken411 learned today that Hoboken Antiques at 511 Washington Street has closed after owner Dora Stern passed away back in March 2012.
Her obituary read:
“A resident and champion of Hoboken since 1976, she was born in New York in 1924. She graduated with a degree in Sociology from New York University and her career included helping to develop the nation’s first Scholastic Aptitude Tests, Public Relations Director for the Mental Health Association of Bergen County, and Truant Officer for Pascack Valley Regional High School. She was a talented painter with a keen eye for design, and an avid interest in antiques led to the establishment of her successful shop on Hoboken’s Washington Street, which she ran until shortly before her death. An informed and generous supporter of the arts, she was Docent at the Newark Museum.”

Hoboken NJBoy – if the Gaslight Bar & Restaurant closed down 10 years ago when times were better, people might have noticed!
But at the beginning of April 2012, Gaslight shut down, and Hoboken didn’t seem to miss a beat. Several people I spoke with said the downward trend started when “the father” wasn’t involved with the daily operations of the joint, as well as the change to try and make it a “trendier” place.
In fact – a couple years ago, the owners invited us down to sample their so-called “new and improved” menu – but we didn’t have the heart to publish our viewpoints at the time. Didn’t want to knock ‘em, and also didn’t want to dishonestly skip over their shortcomings. So we filed the review away with the expectation that we’d try again one day (i.e., second chance). Oh well.
What do you think would do well there? A bar / restaurant that actually tastes good and has fair prices?

Hoboken NJThis spot at 5 Marine View Plaza has been home to at least three eateries over the past few years. SaladWorks, Zebu Forno and Brooklyn Bread. All of those operations didn’t make it long enough. Some construction work is going on now, and the windows have been papered up.
Is there any kind of food service business that would make a killing here, no matter what the rent? Would it be fast food (like a Taco Bell), or something a bit more fancy? Or is this area just not high-trafficked enough?
