Looking for women experts/speakers for a Jersey City Event

Hi! I run a women's social club based in Jersey City for women primarily in their late 20s through 45+. I'm currently planning a new event series for November centered around interesting, conversation starting talks in a relaxed social setting. I'm thinking less of a formal lecture, more like a TED Talk over cocktails. I'm looking for women who are experts in something genuinely fascinating and would enjoy speaking to a room of curious women for approximately 30 to 45 minutes, followed by an informal Q&A and conversation.

I'm especially interested in topics around psychology, criminology/true crime, relationships and dating, women's health, money, pop culture, sociology, history, law, careers, and behavioral science. BUT, I'm completely open to topics outside of those areas. If you know something people could happily talk about over drinks for another hour afterward, I want to hear about it. The event would take place in Jersey City, NJ. This would be a paid speaking opportunity, and we're currently looking at November dates.

If you're interested, send me a little bit about yourself, your area of expertise, the topic you'd love to speak about, and your speaking fee/rate if applicable. And if you know someone who would be PERFECT for this, please feel free to send this their way!

Tired of signing leases blind so I built an anonymous review site for Hoboken rentals

Like pretty much everyone who has rented in town, I’ve had my share of apartment surprises that no broker or StreetEasy listing would ever mention: paper-thin walls, $450 winter PSE&G bills, unresponsive supers, or management ignoring maintenance tickets for weeks.

Between Facebook and here people post asking: "Has anyone lived at 800 Jackson?" or "What's the noise like on 4th & Bloomfield?"

A few weeks ago I decided to actually build a solution for this: rentreview.us.

It’s completely free, and here’s how it works:

Unit-level, not just building-level: Because unit 2F facing the courtyard is a completely different experience than 5R over the street.
Anonymous: Reviewers get an anonymous token. No public profiles or names tied to reviews.

Verified reviews: Renters can verify with a quick photo of their lease or utility bill to earn a "Verified Renter" badge. The proof document is checked and deleted immediately. This step is also optional and reviews can still be left.

580+ Hoboken addresses mapped: Pre-loaded with buildings across town, from large luxury managed buildings to uptown brownstones.

Breakdown on what actually matters: Overall rating, noise levels, natural light, pest history, heating/cooling, water pressure, and landlord responsiveness.

Check it out, search your current or past Hoboken buildings, and drop an honest review (good or bad) to warn or help the next tenant.

Also open to any feedback or feature requests on how to make it more useful for renters in town!

Court St is actually a nice restaurant

Never went in cause I thought it was another pub, but decided to try it today and it actually was quite nice - very nice menu with lots of seafood options a d proper wine list, and very nice staff even for the outside seating.

definitely going back !!

p.s. sorry for doubting folks who said it was a nice place, I think what made me discount the recs was they always mentioned how good the burgers were and .. I dgaf about burgers. The sole and swordfish were delish.

Dear ShopRite Deli: Please start using the "take-a-ticket" system you already have

Every time I go to the Hoboken ShopRite deli, customers are served in order of when they show up to the deli. Because there is no obvious place for a line to form, it ends up as people standing around staggered behind the deli, each having to remember the person who they are behind. Sometimes a line does form, but it isn't necessary for us to wait in line at all when they already have the "take a ticket" system in place - its just unused. It's much more efficient for customers to take a number, do some shopping (if the line is long), and then go to the deli when ready.

Thanksgiving Catering

I'm looking for a company that does catering for Thanksgiving - I'm hosting 15-20 people and frankly would rather not cook anything but also dont mind putting together some salads, apps, sides as long as the main stuff is taken care of (turkey, sides, stuffing, etc).

Ideally looking for presliced turkey breast and pick up either night before or morning of.

Any suggestions - doesnt need to be fancy, if walmart or shoprite can do this Im cool with it!
