Do you love having pancakes for breakfast at IHOP? Well, how about getting them for free?

Tomorrow – February 23, 2010 – is the National Pancake Day Celebration, and IHOP will be hosting its free pancake event from 7AM – 10AM as a part of their fundraising effort for Children’s Miracle Network.

I called up IHOP Jersey City and asked about it; they said the event will be from 7AM – 9AM only, instead of 10AM.

About National Pancake Day

February 23, 2010

Since beginning its National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP has raised more than $3.25 million to support charities in the communities in which it operates. While IHOP’s National Pancake Day typically takes place on Shrove Tuesday, this year the company will host its free pancake event on Tuesday, February 23, extending the fundraising window by one week to maximize donations for Children’s Miracle Network. With your help, we hope to raise $5 million in five years for Children’s Miracle Network and other local charities through your donations in 2010!

Known also as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras, National Pancake Day dates back several centuries to when the English prepped for fasting during Lent. Strict rules prohibited the eating of all dairy products during Lent, so pancakes were made to use up the supply of eggs, milk, butter and other dairy products…hence the name Pancake Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday.

Jersey City Food: Sip PIZZA

Del — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 16:11:52 +0000

Sip Pizza is just one of the local businesses that opened in the past month. It is located across various Delis near DMV-MVC Jersey City. If you’re coming from from the PATH station, just walk east of Sip Avenue on to Summit Av.

The fast food features .99c pizza, which seems to be an attractive price based on the number of people I see there everytime I pass/drive by the place. As for the pizza itself, I haven’t tried it yet.

Jersey City Food: Kultural Kuisines on the Boulevard

Del — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 04:16:14 +0000

Kultural Kuisines opened late November of 2009. So why exactly am I posting this restaurant? Well, it is because this place has been the home of two previous failed restaurants (can you guess without clicking the link?) in a span of 1 year. Makes me wonder: For how long will this business stay open?

[UPDATE] 7-11 Journal Square opened on the last day of the year 2009. Photo above was taken on New Year’s Eve. I went inside today and it looks like the management will be adding up more shelves.

7-Eleven at the corner of Bergen Avenue and Sip Avenue

Slurpee anyone? The spot vacated by Washinton Mutual (WaMu) last February will now become 7-Eleven. I saw some construction going on inside a couple of days ago (Christmas Eve). 7-11 is just one of the few businesses that opened/will open this month (will post some soon). Makes me wonder, how many 7-Eleven’s do we have here in Jersey City?

Free KFC Grilled Chicken Monday

Del — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:46:08 +0000

Kentucky Fried Chicken is once again offering their Grilled Chicken for free today (Monday, October 26, 2009). The first time they did this, Oprah Winfrey promoted it and it got a lot of hype. Have you tried this before?

If you are a new Journal Square or 07306 resident, you will not be able to find a KFC fast food within the area, since it was previously located on the square at the ground floor of the demolished hotel in front of the fountain. The closest KFC here is on Communipaw Avenue, Jersey City. Call them at (201)433-1151.

United Water Customers In Jersey City Must Boil Water

Water Pressure Returned To Normal In Most Of City
Harrington Park, NJ, Sep 01, 2009, 8 a.m.

United Water officials advise that the boil water advisory continues for customers throughout Jersey City. The boil waster advisory was issued earlier today following loss of pressure resulting from a break on 24-inch water transmission main.

Water pressure has returned to normal levels for most of the city. However, customers on the west side of the city will have lower pressure until the water main repair is completed. This includes the area starting on Broadway between Rte 440 and Tonnelle Avenue going to JFK Blvd and continuing south to Danforth Avenue. Customers in this area should conserve water while the repairs on in progress.

United Water crews are working to make the repair as quickly as possible.

Customers in Jersey City are advised to boil their water at a rolling boil for one minute for the following uses: drinking, cooking, baking, making ice cubes, taking medication, brushing teeth, washing food, mixing baby formula, mixing juices or drinks, feeding pets or other consumption.

The boil water advisory is in place until further notice.
