Boulevard Drinks in Jersey City Is Moving Across the Street From the Skyscraper Taking Its Corner
A high-rise is taking Boulevard Drinks' Journal Square corner, so the nearly 90-year-old hot dog stand plans to reopen in PATH Plaza, right across the street. I didn't know a hot dog stand could hold a grudge this well.
I've seen a lot of matchups, but never a skyscraper versus a hot dog stand.
Let's do the weigh-in. In this corner: a planned high-rise in Jersey City's Journal Square, tipping the scales at 840 apartments and a Whole Foods. In that corner: Boulevard Drinks, weighing in at a counter, a few stools and a takeout window about the size of a microwave door. Its corner crew: one guy with a squeeze bottle of mustard, looking way too calm.
And the tower is taking the stand's spot, so Boulevard Drinks is planning to move directly across the street.
