Jersey City Register

Archive for the ‘Jersey City Food and Restaurants’ Category

Just heard from the news… Starbucks will give you tall cup of coffee if you tell them you voted! Unfortunately, there are only a couple of Starbucks in Jersey City - both in downtown.

Watch below:

Are you going to drive there just to get a cup of coffee?

Oh, inside this entry you’ll find the info about the Starbucks video… (more…)

McDonald’s. Photo taken a couple of days ago.

McDonald’s Journal Square moved just across the street and is now awaiting its official opening date. In the picture, you will see that the scaffoldings are now gone and the signs have been installed already. The franchise also has job openings, which are posted on the internet (mcnewjersey.com).

Streetview of Burger King (Montgomery St and Bergen Avenue, Jersey City)

Walking south (McGinley) along Bergen Avenue, you will find Burger King. This fastfood branch (also the MLK Branch) was reported “closing” last month because the operator couldn’t pay his debts. He was given until June 15 to settle everything or the two restaurants will be shut down. I guess he managed to pay off his debts in time, as this Burger King is still open.

If you have any updates, please feel free to post them in the comment section.
