Reply to Five Corners Ristorante is Soft Opened for Reservations by LateNightNewYork

Ate there last night and it was delicious. Drinks a little pricey but well worth it. You want a nice stiff strong drink? Get the Newark. You still want strong but refreshing drink, try the Mad Dog.

Happen to see the councilman Silva there.. wanted to approach him about the poor pick up by the city garbage men.. but I restrained myself. Argh.

It has nothing to do with the community. Neither the height which casts a shadow. It’s fugly as hell. And it’s not affordable for anyone in the community.

Don’t go to Great Oaks, they lost 4 teachers within 4 months and they filter out students. I’ve witnessed multiple times the principal pressure parents that their kid can be in mainstream with “supports” without proper SPED class like what their IEP says bc they didn’t have a SPED teacher.

Also don’t go to Lafayette street School, it’s corrupt starting with the principal and their vice principals. They don’t follow through their 504 and took funding away from a reading specialist. There were multiple 6th-8th graders that cannot read on their grade level. Multiple teachers have sounded the alarm but they are often threatened with bad performance evaluations. It’s really sad.

I’m literally about to eat some broccoli now lol this is sad AF. You know how many of my Portuguese neighbors want a ShopRite in ironbound ? I know more people go to get their groceries outside of ironbound then within which says a lot. When I can get a ride, I go out, but it’s walking distance for me unfortunately.

This is a fact. *I also never step into Adega

But that’s besides the point, I’ve ordered from xscape cafe, sabor unido, eat frequently at Sihana, Casanova grill either ferry or adams, Souza fit, taste of Brazil. With the exception of Sihana, which is great food, the others are low quality for the price. They ALL raised their prices. Sihana is either keeping the same price or shrinking their portion. Their salmon salad and anything salmon related look like they cut it in half. It’s literally smaller than a sponge. I’m like whereTF is the salmon at? It’s tiny AH. And now all these places, I’m looking at you Souza fit and Sihana, they put an extra 2$ for credit card fee. That wasn’t calculated in before!! If it’s not walking distance, I’m not ordering from Uber eats, because they ALL raises their prices.

The other places.. lord have mercy just high price and low quality.

And randomly fuck Seabras grocery store (all of them) bc they have a monopoly in the ironbound they charge 8-12$ for a block of Minas cheese, and you open that shit and its expired. It’s not the first time, you get something within their “expiration date “ and the item is bad or them keeping expired shit on the shelf. Or that incident that they found rats within their produce (heard it was the Seabra Harrison location).. not only groceries are really high but bad quality
