Carriage City Plaza tops 2008 stories

Blog readers voted overwhelmingly for the opening of Carriage City Plaza and the Hotel Indigo as the biggest redevelopment story of 2008.

Opening of Carriage City Plaza, 54 percent (37/68)
The slow pace of redevelopment, 19 percent (13/68)
The Savoy coming to a halt, 8 percent (6/68)
Reopening of the Union County Arts Center, 8 percent (6/68)
The fast pace of redevelopment, 5 percent (4/68)
Tabulation of the Rahway Survey, 2 percent (2/68)

While most readers pointed to Carriage City, there were almost a third of them who pointed to signs of the slowing economy, like The Savoy coming to a halt and the slow pace of redevelopment. Keep in mind that the survey is far from scientific at all.

The new poll will be up after the Super Bowl. It’s a repeat from last year but we have a few more readers so I thought it’d be interesting to take another look.

  1. I saw a sign outside Sebastian’s I think saying that they were now serving traditional thin crust pizza. Has anyone tried it yet? I will be this week I think but I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how it compares to Nancy’s.

  2. — Rahway Pizza is at the corner of St. Georges and Maple avenues, a few doors down from Beana’s Mexican.– Thanks for the suggestion on a poll. It’s just a matter of compiling as complete a list as possible of all the options.– Case in point, I left out Subworks. Use the comments section for any other “write-in” votes and I’ll include them in the final results. (I also forgot to offer an “Other” option as I did the last time, and the Blogger program won’t let you modify the poll without completely starting over.)

  3. How about a poll on favorite BYO restaurants in the area? Since most restaurants charge $30+ for their least expensive bottle of wine, I find I’m going to BYO’s more often. My favorites in the area are Louca’s and Bellini’s, haven’t been to Beana’s in a while but hope to go back soon. Would enjoy hearing about any other BYO’s in the area.

  4. Sebastians is no longer Sebastian’s. It is Valentina’s Italian Restaurant. I got their pizza and it is nothing special. I would def. try some of the other items on the menu (lots of seafood and traditional italian dishes). The pizza did come with this delicious herbed parmesan cheese which was tasty and different but the pizza was just meh. Crust was just ok, sauce was close to tasteless and too much cheese. Not knocking the restaurant as I have only tried the pizza but its a below average pie.
