New! Zeni Day Spa in Hoboken, NJ

Wow, I thought Tantaztic tanning salon was coming back after Hurricane Sandy!

Well most certainly not, as Zeni Day Spa recently opened in its place at 400 Newark Street.

The new “day spa” is owned and operated by the folks that run Unique Nails a few doors down. Unsure if it’s also the same owners of a similarly named Hoboken nail salon uptown called Zeni Salon.

From what I saw, they definitely offer hair cuts in the front – and have private rooms in the back. I tried speaking with one worker who was there, but his English was practically non-existent. So, based on what the sign in front said, Zeni Day Spa also provides:

• Skin Care
• Waxing
• Massage
• Makeup
• “Stylash” (is that really something or is it a spelling error when they meant “eyelashes?”)

Regardless, welcome to the neighborhood, Zeni Day Spa!

Mad One Jacks opens at 22 Hudson Place in Hoboken

After more than a six-month wait – Mad One Jacks has finally opened their second location down at 22 Hudson Place.

One of the positive things I noticed about Mad One Jacks – is that they keep some of the most liberal hours. Tuesday through Thursday until 11pm, Friday until 10pm and 6pm on Saturdays. Not bad for those who work later than most. As an added bonus – you can book appointments online 24 hours a day.

Good luck downtown, Mad One Jacks!

Just 4 Kids Hair & Nail Salon opening soon in Hoboken, NJ

Opening soon at the Monroe Center (720 Monroe St.) in Suite E313 – is Just 4 Kids Hair & Nail Spa.

Touting the salon as a Hoboken first – Just 4 Kids owner Sandra is offering various salon services for your kids, such as “First Hair Cut,” manicures, pedicures, braiding and more. She offers natural and safe hair products (as opposed to the ones that melt your hair off?), toys – and even makes the space available for theme parties and more.

No word on what the pricing will be. But this could be the start of something positive. Maybe kids won’t bite their fingernails anymore if they get manicures instead?

As with every business in the Monroe Center – free parking is available in the rear lot.

Good luck, Just 4 Kids!

Little Town NJ – official grand opening April 18th

Located on the gorgeous Hudson River waterfront at 310 Sinatra Drive – Little Town NJ is set to officially be open on Thursday, April 18th – starting at lunch (11am).

Had a chance to get a preview of the menu over at Little Town NJ this week. Here’s our 60 second review:

• Little Town Rice Balls: A Jersey twist on the mundane. Risotto, taylor ham, American cheese, seasonings fried crisp. They said this is by far their number one favorite item on the menu so far. Hit the spot!
• LT Grilled Oysters: These had tremendous flavor – and I avoid seafood, so that means a lot.
• Frankie’s Clams: Clams over linguini done the the way “Ole’ Blue Eyes” would have eaten them. Had a nice kick to the sauce too.
• Grilled Eggplant Caprese: Their homemade mutz at Little Town rivals the best in Hoboken. On the saltier side, was packed with flavor and the pesto sauce was a subtle touch along with the balsamic.
• Hackensack Sliders: If you long for the taste of hamburger sliders like White Manna in Hackensack, these are for you. Only much better!
• Deep Fried Oreos: I’ve never had these in my life. All I can say is I was blown away. Once a year indulgence for me. Tip: Kindly ask the server for a tiny scoop of vanilla ice cream to enhance this experience.

What else is happening at Little Town NJ in Hoboken?

For one, check out their menus:

• Little Town NJ Lunch Menu
• Little Town NJ Dinner Menu

They have a wide array of offerings, while sourcing much of the tasty food right here in the Garden State.

I’m looking forward to trying their wings, tenderloin and chicken savoy dishes!

They’ll also offer weekday happy hour specials from 11am to 8pm – which is a bonus.

Starting at the end of April will be the “Farm to Table” Buffet Brunch – Saturdays and Sundays from 9am till 3pm. All you can eat buffet (again from local NJ farmers, etc) for $22.95. Not bad!

Want to reserve a space for your next party or event? Just email NJ@littletown.com and they’ll take care of you. You can also call (201)716-7070 for more information.

Enjoy the newest hot spot in Hoboken!
