Hoboken NJNot 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 NJ5/3/2012 Update:
A little clarification – you guys can be at ease. Nothing will change except the ownership, as they told me:
“The new store name is Aspen Market Place. Everything is remaining the same, products, employees etc. Just the name change and ownership.”
5/1/2012 Update:
Hoboken411 reader Pat found out today that the Garden of Eden market at 226 Washington Street has been sold, and within 2 weeks will be closing and new “management” will be taking over.
For those that were hoping for a Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods – you’re out of luck. It’s apparently set to become a Korean food market.
If true, I wonder why they sold. Profits not good enough? Rent too high? Too many homeless stealing oranges? Do they see something coming down the horizon that we don’t know about?

We mentioned The Crop Shop this past winter, with their great holiday wrapping services (one of a kind in Hoboken!) But we never gave them a listing since they moved from the inner studios of the Monroe Center (720 Monroe Street) to this awesome, bright street-level location in the same building a few months ago!
Here’s how owner Erica Jones describes her business:
“The Crop Shop is, what I believe to be, the best craft room ever! After being laid off from my terrific job in the financial industry (gag) , I had no desire to begin interviewing or working for “the man” again. I just wanted to sit in my awesome craft room and scrapbook all day. I mean, it was perfect! I had shelves and spinnie things and little nooks and jars for everything from buttons and ribbons to stamps and inks. But alas, I was lonely! At first I thought of opening my scrapbook store, “Nah, this isn’t going to pay the rent!”, but after receiving the support of my awesome boyfriend, my awesomer best friend and my awesomest mother, I figured “Hey, maybe I CAN open a store and create a place where everyone could come and scrapbook with me (and maybe buy some paper here and there to pay the bills)! And TA DA! The Crop Shop was born! I want you to feel comfy cozy sitting in The Crop Shop, browsing through our craft library for inspiration, perusing through our 200+ stamp collection, surrounded by over 300 varieties of card stock and art supplies, and sharing ideas and laughter with others!”
Descripion: Crafts, fancy papers, parties for adults, kids, plus art supplies, too!
