A New Jersey councilman ditched the tab for his wedding reception at a catering hall co-owned by reality TV star Dina Manzo’s embattled ex-husband, Manzo’s fuming former brother-in-law claims.

Liberty State Park’s Uncertain Future
Jersey Cityans have had roughly a decade to see their home vastly change. High rises, trendy markets, and the occasional quirky coffee shop are just some of what would have been impossible to even conceive of just a few years ago. As the city’s profile continues to grow, so too has the average person’s inability to keep up with Jersey City’s cost of living.

The DOE is struggling with banning phones in class because it’s already destroyed school discipline
Under a rumored city Department of Education plan to implement a cellphone ban across all 1,600 city public schools, students would be banned from using phones in schools starting in February 2025 and required to place them in school-funded lockers or magnetically locked pouches. Above all else, this is a damning confession that the folks in charge of city schools don’t think teachers can control their classrooms. Yet if they can’t do that, they can’t actually teach. Yes, making kids stow their phones is a challenge, but it’s not one that can be met by some bureaucratic fix: The teacher, for example, will...
