Who’s NOT planning a BBQ this weekend? Here are new ideas for keeping your costs down. Sponsored by Home Depot.
Here at Patch, we like to be thrifty, so we talked to two barbecue experts and uncovered some really good ideas to help you save money on your next outdoor party. Here's their tips on how to save money on your Memorial Day feast. 1. Start with a marinade. This means planning ahead — say, Friday. But it’s worth it, says Rick Browne, host of Barbeque America on PBS, because you can pass up that well-marbled rib eye steak and buy a less tender and less expensive choice to grill like a flank steak or chuck steak. Just marinate it or brine for one or two days and then cook long and slow on the barbecue grill to break down tissues but maintain moisture. “You need to include an acid in the marinade, perhaps juice, vinegar or soy sauce, but …
There will still be a number of summer programs, such as theater and math.
In the wake of losing about $600,000 due to federal budget cuts, Dr. Mark Toback said the district will not be running a full day program this year. "We'll do the best we can," Toback said at a recent school board meeting, but he added that some programs would have to be canceled. Last year, the district ran a full day program. This year students can enroll in the academic program at the Connors School as well as music and theater camp at Hoboken High School. The theater camp will conclude with a showcase at the end of the summer. For exact times of the programs, check out the district's schedule.

Only about one person in a million suffers from adrenal cancer, according to Michele Gannon, Linda Gannon's daughter and the 25-year-old president of the ACC C.U.R.E.

Bwe Kafe is now open on Washington Street.
Although it has barely been two weeks, Bwe Kafe already has regular customers. Bwe Kafe, which is being managed by brother-sister team Dale and Evan Ryan, opened two weeks ago at Tenth and Washington Streets. With most of Hoboken's coffeeshops located downtown, Bwe Kafe is looking to fill the uptown need for caffeine between 5:30 a.m. and 10 p.m. Part of the proceeds from Bwe Kafe — which means "to drink coffee" in Haitian Creole — will go toward non profits involved in re-building Haiti since the earthquake. For example, said Dale, 26, the coffeeshop buys coffee from La Colombe, a company that uses coffeebeans from Haiti. Dale and Evan's mother — who is also the landlord of the space — started the non profit Love for Haiti The proceeds …
