There is an appreciation for louise and jerry's locally. It has a great dive feeling and in Hoboken the laid back, oldies on a juke box type places are a mere handful. Here, DC's, Wilton House all attract the local's and never are there any fights. All great places to take $40 and enjoy your evening and have car fare money to get you home without the worry or out of towner's causing problems.

Please realize by patronizing this establishment you are underwriting Freeholder Romano, who is no friend to the Hoboken taxpayer.

What does it matter where Stick stands? I am the first to I love / hate every politician in this town, but this is a bar not an election. The atmosphere is great, the bartenders are quick and friendly, there is never a nuisance and the prices are great in a tough economic state. This is the same as saying you should not patronize a restaurant or retailer because they had a Zimmer for Mayor or Mason for Mayor sign in their window. For all the people that dislike Mayor Zimmer, should they not eat somewhere that had her signs? Anthony Romano might be under scrutiny for his beliefs but at the end of the day he is like every other business owner in town, he is trying to earn a living. Political threads I understand people's personal feelings but this is about a business in a city that is really feeling a crunch, many of us business owners are really feeling the hit. Anthony Romano for over 2 decades put his own life on the line to protect the well being of all of us, when gun fire erupted he was there to serve the city and risk his life, I don't hear anyone mentioning this ever?

I would not spend a cent in this joint. I've watched Stick hit on anything in a skirt and he's a terrible freeloader, ahem, freeholder.

Just the other day Leo's held a party for certain people and all of a sudden people on blogs won't go to Leo's. Leo's sadly took on about 75k in flood damage from Irene and insurance I believe did not cover it. It's very sad that many of you just keeping bashing away based on the beliefs of others, ruin their businesses because you don't like their opinions. It's one thing to address the concerns in a thread solely based on politics but when you drag people's businesses in to the picture it's unprofessional. I eat in a lot of places people i do not like frequent regularly, should i do what Leo's admirers do and not go there? If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say "I will never move to Hoboken based on what I read on blogs" I'd be a millionaire.

Leo's is in the hole from the hurricane, guy is a local staple of the business community. Guy has a family to feed and kids to cloth. You don't bring him down just because he wants to host a party! Leave people's businesses out of this bashing. You want to speak about the person then speak about the person and not his / her business.

Red, my reply is not directed towards you, it's a generalized statement. I donate to the homeless shelter, that's it. I don't give anyone my money, thats a lie, my girlfriend gets it all lol. I just think business and politics should remain separate. If i knew your name and slammed you or anyone else around about their business or what they do, I do not think it would be appreciated? There is a time and a place for everything. Because some guy hits on woman and has opinions doesn't mean his establishment offers bad service. If you want to go after someone go after them not the business. Aside from an owner, establishments have employees who rely on good business to pay their wages, shooting down a business because of who owns it effects everyone their, not just the owner.

Everyone with a business in town the donates prizes to Scott Delea for PWOP or to Tim Occhipinti for Hoboken Volunteers, should they be under the knife too? Both are either politicians and or want to be one.

More slash and burn from the so called reform crowd. Rory they will target you next you can bet your bottom dollar.

Heh, thanks. My problem with Louise & Jerry's is Stick OWNS the place. So that's me giving him money for his personal use. I don't want to contribute to his campaigns, his lifestyle or his politrickin'. I work hard for my dollars and I decide who gets the benefit of what I'm willing to spend in town. I'd rather reward Clinton Social, 340 Grill, O'Niealls, Pourhouse, McSwiggins, Mulligans, Tilted Kilt, Augostino's, Anthony David's, Hudson Tavern, Melting Pot or Trinity with my dollars than anything owned by Stick.

I agree with Red on Leo's. If he got paid, good for him, if he contributed, goodbye.

Just keep politics to the politics threads and keep businesses out. If you have a bad experience in town then there is a proper format for leaving your reviews. If they want to attack me then that's on them I just would love to have a great business community here in Hoboken and we can if people keep politics as politics and business as business. Everyone in town is struggling and it really sucks. I see friends go under every month and I feel their pain. Every last cent gone over a dream, that's hard to swallow for anyone. When people come out here and bash one another it only makes us look bad to those local and from abroad. If businesses flourish then maybe one day everyone will be in business for a long time, no empty store fronts, higher property values and so on. Bashing in any regard just puts a hurt on everyone, not just the establishment targeted. I don't really care about politics, i like and dislike everyone, I want to earn a living, that's it and the less hanky panky on the blogs the better, that's it!

I patronize L&Js to underwrite the best bartenders, and the best bar, in town. I don't agree with Anthony on a lot of things, but he's got one of the few remaining places in town that don't cater to frat kids and weekend Jersey Shore rejects.

I can't abide the 'I don't agree with you on local politics, so I'm going to run you out of business!' mentality, it's too small of a community to go around actively hating people. Sticking to your convictions is one thing, unreasonable stubbornness to the point of injuring your own interests is another. If you paint political opponents as the devil, how will you look when you have to work together on something? I think it was Tip O'Neil that said he and Reagan would get into screaming matches in the Oval Office, right up until 7 o'clock when then cocktails came out, then they'd sit together and get sloshed. Stick's a decent guy who's dedicated his life to the town, and I respect him for that, even though I disagree with him.

So, enjoy your overpriced beers and the 758 TVs over at Tilted Kilt. Enjoy being served by teenagers paid to dress like sluts specifically to keep your hairy, old, chicken-part-devouring ass there to ogle them for one more beer, guilt free. Revel in knowing money spent there goes back into the community, and by that I mean back to the community of their headquarters in Las Vegas. I'll stick with Hoboken's own Louise and Jerry's.
