I'd skip Cellar. I've never been super impressed with them. Matthew's, Sushi by Bou, or the city. We haven't had a really great spot in JC since 30 Acres closed. Think of Gabriel Kreuther, Cote, Yoshino, Jungsik, etc.

Reply to Running routes DTJC? by TartZealousideal

Down Columbus to the waterfront is a pretty safe bet. You can also run up Erie and do laps of Hamilton Park. I've seen many people doing endless HP laps.

Reply to Morning flight from EWR - how early should I arrive? by CommunicationRough87

Arrive early and have breakfast. Being late sucks.

But if you have clear or airline status + pre-check, 1.5 hours is fine.

Reply to Do you think a $200 electric bill for a 2 bedroom is too much? by TechnologyPale329

It sounds about right.

Heading type, number of windows, insulation, exposure direction, floor number, etc will make a difference.

Reply to comment by thebusiness7 in Is CLEAR membership worth it for mainly usage of EWR/FLL/MIA/LAX? by thebusiness7

10 - 20 minutes. Clear + tsa pre-check. It depends a little on how crowded the airport is. I've never had it take more than 20 minutes and rarely less than 10. United will also pay the clear fee for 1k members.

It's worth it.

Not a lot happening there recently. I've been watching it for years hoping to see it finished.

Really cold is the weather we had here last week or the polar vortex winter from 5-6 years ago. I'm in Hamilton Park and stayed toasty with the heat pumps.

Yes I do. It's a ducted mini-splits. Fujitsu has a fantastic low profile air handler. I have one in a wall and two in the ceilings.

I have three heat pumps, one per floor, and had no trouble keeping the house over 70 even on the coldest days. They run on 20A circuits. My electric bill has been shockingly low. But we also haven't had a really cold day in years. My December bill (reading on 12/12) was $157. That's my highest bill. If I remember I'll post the next one

My vote is for cornhole. Bonus points if you can convince your team to name themselves The Cornholios.

Reply to comment by The_Nomadic_Nerd in Anybody else in a ground floor apartment having issues with their sump pump? by The_Nomadic_Nerd

Freezing pipes is super common when they are shallow. My brother (not in JC) is on a slab just above grade. The first few years after he moved in he had a freezing problem. So yes, in this weather you can definitely have freezing issues.

You could snake the pipe to see, or try to trace it through your building and see if there are any exposed sections.
