4th ward residents welcome West End Station Restaurant



West End Station — Welcome to the Neighborhood!

With the West End Station restaurant now open for business, we would like to officially welcome them to the community.  Located in the Sky Club residential building, at the corner of First Street and Harrison Street, the West End Station is the latest creation of Chef Anthony Pino, who has also brought us The Dining Room at Anthony David’s and Bin 14.

As residents of the south-west corner of town, we are extremely excited about this new addition to an area of town lacking in dining options.  The food is a fun hip twist on Chef Pino’s concepts of modern American, with vegetarian and gluten-free options available as well.  The West End Station offers a relaxed atmosphere with beautiful exposed brick, plenty of HD TVs, and a large bar offering fun drink creations and a substantial beer selection.

As members of the Hoboken Democratic and Republican Committees, representing the 4th Ward, 2nd District, we would like to wish the West End Station all the best!  This establishment is truly a great addition to the neighborhood, and we encourage all of our neighbors to swing by, grab a bite and enjoy the atmosphere.  Hopefully this will act as yet another catalyst towards bringing folks together and enhancing our sense of community.

Here’s to much success!

Councilman Lenz asks again: Let’s have a clean election

Lenz for Council announces:



After a week of waiting for a response, 4th Ward Councilman Mike Lenz once again calls on his opponent, Timothy Occhipinti, to respect the voters of the 4th Ward and sign a Clean Campaign Pledge.  Councilman Lenz stated, “In this week’s Hoboken Reporter, Tim sidestepped, saying that signing a Pledge not to pay for votes and to submit complete ELEC reports was ‘silly’ and ‘not worthy of a response’.  He said that we should ‘talk about the Issues’ instead.  Well Tim, Corruption IS an issue here in Hoboken. As someone who has been in Hoboken for over 20 years, I am extremely disappointed that even after two of our last three Mayors went to jail for taking bribes, and the third Mayor hired a parking Authority Director who stole over a million quarters; Tim doesn’t believe that running a clean campaign is something the public deserves and has a right to expect.”

Voters in the 4th Ward have been used by ‘business as usual’ politicians and forgotten again until the next election for too many years.  It’s time in Hoboken to address the deep seated problems, legally and ethically, of paying for absentee votes.  Former Mayor and current Inmate Peter Cammarano has become the poster child of Hudson County corruption but he was not the first and he did not do it alone.   The refusal of Occhipinti to sign the Clean Campaign Pledge is disappointing.

Politics makes for strange bedfellows…

And nothing makes for stranger bedfellows in politics than the Hoboken scene.  Here is a screen capture of Councilwoman Beth Mason exiting the start of the Friday press conference.  Mayor Zimmer had just begun introducing her team and guess Beth knew she wasn’t in those notes.

Beth Mason makes a speedy exit at start of presser, stage right.

Ironically, even though Beth Mason isn’t on “the team” the mayor was announcing, she got a mention for being present anyway.

Here’s a link of the video someone was shooting for the Mike Lenz for City Council campaign: Read More...
