Jersey City Restaurants?
Discussion
Off to Jersey City for a few days on business - any recommendations on restaurants from anyone?
I'm familiar with Manhattan, but never stayed on t'other side of the Hudson - any cuisine goes, but I will need at least one night's worth of buffalo wings.
I'm staying at the Hyatt on the Hudson at Exchange Place if that helps.
All recommendations appreciated!

I used to love in Hoboken which is the next city along. There's a few decent restaurants in Jersey City to go to. Use open table app to book the restaurants as it just makes life easy.
Satis Bistro does good food but is bring your own. Light horse tavern is another decent place to eat. Up the road is Zepplin Hall which is better in the Summer as its a beer garden. But, you can still get a decent beer there.
Hoboken has some good bars and restaurants. When my colleagues stayed in Jersey city they would always go to Hoboken. On a Monday or Thursday night Teak is half price for food and drinks. It's probably too loud to have a relaxing meal but the Chilean sea bass is good as is their Peroni. Other than that get back on Open Table and find out where has availability in Hoboken.

Oh this is easy - I live 5 min walk from the Hyatt Jersey City along the waterfront. Its a decent hotel - I stayed there when I was moving to Jersey City. The bar and restaurant has one of the better views in town - make sure you walk to the end of the pier. My suggestions:
- Lighthorse Tavern - cnr Washington and Sussex Streets. About 7 mins walk away for you. Slightly expensive than most since food is very good plus atmosphere is great.
- Amelias on cnr of Morris and Warren Streets and - a block further west than the Lighthorse. Less decor which means cheaper prices but food is excellent
- La Conguita for Spanish on Grove street - more like a 15-20 min walk
- Merchants on Grove Street for just a good happy bar with decent comfort food.
- Sky Thai - Greene and Morris streets
- Bistro La Source if you are looking for a nice casual French meal and the ability to sit at a bar and watch the sports. Washington and Morris streets
- Satis is now licensed and is down the block from the Lighthorse Tavern
Also, you can just hop the PATH into Manhattan. Exchange place station is just outside the hotel and one stop to World Trade Center. Plenty of places in Tribeca 20 minutes away from the hyatt. I go in for dinner all the time.
If you want to meet for a drink one night then PM me (can you PM on PH? Never done it before...). I am around next week on Thursday and Friday nights and not travelling the following week.

Sent the team to Amelia's last night - they thoroughly enjoyed it, so many thanks again for the reccommendation. Alas, I was confined to the office in meetings until late, so didn't join them.
We're off into Manhattan tonight for beers and food - not decided where, I fancy clam pie, so it might be Lombardi's......
At least the weather is better today, although that wind is somewhat 'biting'...

Back in town this week, we ate at Markers list night, purely because it was raining and it's right next to office/hotel, OK, but cheap. Likely to go somewhere nicer tonight. Any thoughts?
On a separate note, I'm thinking of taking the guys up to the Mets/Yankees tomorrow night, is the best way from Exchange Place to take the Path over to WTC, walk to Cortland St (which I don't think is very far), then Line 4 up to the Bronx?

WTC PATH is 1 block from WTC E train. Take this, then transfer to the uptown B or D train which will take you straight to yankee stadium @ 161st st.Alternatively, take the PATH all the way to 33rd St, then transfer to the uptown B/D there.

Brilliant, many thanks for that!Alternatively, take the PATH all the way to 33rd St, then transfer to the uptown B/D there.

So we took the Path, then walked 2 mins to Fulton and took the 4. Nice and easy if a little packed going up there. Cracking game, Mets were 5 up in the top of the first. Lots of beer and some wings, got back very late as we stayed right through.
Last night we walked to Hopsscotch for snacks, beers and to watch the Mets claim the sweep. Food wasn't brilliant, but good enough, and a short walk back to the hotel. Next time I've promised I'll take them out to somewhere posh on Manhattan.
It's hot today!

Good shout - it's on the list, along with Bouley which isn't that far away - both easy to get to of course from the Hotel.
Next time/next month methinks
ETA: Hopsscotch wasn't clients - that was 'my team' - clients always get the posh treatment. However, when we sign the contract we've all been working on since December, one of the restaurants above awaits 'my team'.
So I guess I'm only a cheapskate with my own folk

Come on Had Ham, you need to go to decent places. Markers! Honestly....that place redefined mediocre. You should have gone to the Iron Monkey.
In Tribeca I would recommend you look at:
- Nobu
- Bouley (you know this already)
- Tribeca Grill (if you do not see someone famous here then you are not looking)
- Pepolino (West Broadway and Canal)
- The Harrison (Greewich and Harrison)
- Locanda Verde (Greenwich at Moore)
Another option - go to Stone Street in downtown financial district. Great street of bars and restaurants.
Across the street from Amelias is a really nice little Italian. Small but really good food. Can be difficult to get into if you are late.
If you are into a diner style meal then the Brownstone diner at Jersey and Grand ave in Jersey City is definitely good. Featured on TV once. Great breakfast/brunch place.
Marco & Pepe on Grove Street is a good choice. Skinner's Pub is a gastropub concept - works well. On Newark Ave so a bit of a walk.
As ever, I'm indebted to you and your advice,
Nobu has been done, once when I brought my wife with me on her birthday, brilliant night, possibly one of the best. Next night I took her to Tabla, which was even better, but that's gone now, then we went to Gramercy Tavern (same bloke as Tabla) which was utterly awful.
My list for next month is growing!
Thanks again, much appreciated.
