Fun neighborhood Speakeasy that opens at 10/10:30pm. You go to the sign that says "not an exit" and security checks your id. To enter the secret bar you are led down to a very cool brick basement with awesome brick stairs. The bar is a lounge on one side with comfy chairs and a full bar that is very dimly lit. The other side is a dance floor and they play a mix of rap, r&b, hip-hop, new jack swing, and some alternate versions of classic disco and 80s hits. A cocktail menu of 6 drinks that are all are good and strong. My Dark & Stormy of rum, ginger beer, and lime is a favorite. You can't go wong at Miss Wong's. Also a great place for women to not be harassed and have a good time.

Shopping
A nice a Target as any and I am a big fan of the chain- mostly because it's huge and seems to have more selection than most Targets. 5-minute walk from the Pavonia/Newport PATH station and light rail station, and close to the Hoboken train station. Clean and usually no lines, even on a Saturday afternoon.

Arts & Culture
The lending department seems small when you first walk in, little do you know that it opens up to more, much larger rooms. They have a great selection and I was able to find quite a few other books that I couldn't at other libraries. They also have a large audiobook and movie selection. The New Jersey Room is a room full of historic books and documents about NJ and Jersey City. On top of it all, your library card gives you access to online e-book / audiobook / movie libraries and apps. That includes Overdrive and Hoopla.
