One does not save money by moving to Harrison lol. Newark, Elizabeth, Rahway are all cheaper without the problems Harrison has

My partner lives in the East Village so I'll be in the city a lot.

Yes, I'm well aware of that. If I'm out that late I'll just stay with my partner.

Sorry that other user is throwing a blizzard at your rainy day. One way or another I’m sure you’ll make it work and find joy where you can. ☀️

I'm no stranger to a bit of commute. It's nice that's it's not by car.

Bets of luck but I think youll discover why no one stays more than a year. The river walkway is nice though

Don’t they have a path station stop and NJ transit? Not saying it’s more affordable. Just mentioning another transportation method that may be missing from your list.

You’re right my memory was off, I went to the NJ Penn station stop. It was close enough to where I needed to get to in Harrison.

If there was a pedestrian bridge there it would be fantastic, but the walk right now is really out of the way
