Sometimes there's leftover newspapers on the seats and ground. The shelter is partially open air so bundle up during the colder months. The surrounding area is bustling, with lots of restaurants and Rite Aid across the street. There's also a decent bar next door. Parking is okay, free overnights and weekends. There is permit parking during the day (not run by NJ Transit) that's $120 every quarter.

While it frees up some space around the streets it does feel like they're charging more than they used to (parking was free after 6p weekdays and free all Sunday... now that's not even clear if Sunday is free or not?).

By far the worst piece of engineering the world has seen in 10 years. No manual override for…read moretenants to be able to retrieve theirs car if the system is down (it's been down 5 times since I've been here). I have been using the garage for 2 months to give you an idea. And it's not the users that cause this. To give a quick synopsis on the last time the thing went down - I had a doctors appointment for Covid that I had scheduled a month out, 2 meetings with big target accounts. I essentially was stranded without my car for a day, had to reschedule both meetings and my appointment. No apology, nothing. And I wasn't rude to them they just simply do not care and chalk everything related maintenance issues up to "user error." They need to literally send maintenance to the location to make software adjustments rather than utilizing more expensive tools in the marketplace, that improve the users experience, that would allow them to fix the issue from a computer 200 miles away. The service is $75 a month. If you care about your families safety in an emergency do not park here. If you expect compassion when something you pay monthly for doesn't work, don't expect it. But it all comes down to the apartment complex and how they manage their relationship with Ultron. Stipulations include if the garage does down there are no decreases in pricing for that month. Basically if your apartment complex is like every other complex and tries to squeeze money out of you in a different facet every month avoid this at all costs. Oh yeah and you have 3 inches on both sides of the vehicle with no foam bumpers (which comes down to cost because they would have to replace them and are cheap) stopping you from absolutely destroying your tires, bumpers, rims etc. overall the system is outdated, a mess, constantly rolling back back new features, hotfixing a daily basis. For Christ's sakes use an actual feature delivery platform that wasn't made by your goofy engineers at the expense of your UX and ROI. Nothing makes me more mad than companies that simply go with cheaper tools at the expense of their users. And if it does go down....apologize....don't blow it off and get back to me 12 hours later with a simply text "you can get your cart now. If your complex won't hold them accountable which theCharli does not due to their rich white upper management who think they are business savants by screwing people out of their hard earned money. With stipulations and service costs for things that don't even exist at the complex. It's a unilateral contract; only one party has to hold up their end up the bargain. In this case Ultron gets paid in full whether or not their system works or not.

There are also many restaurants like Cheesecake Factory and True Food Kitchen. There's a ramen store coming in soon. In addition, you can enjoy some entertainment like AMC in the mall. Barnes and Nobles is another great place to visit for books and small items. Overall a great place to hang out for an afternoon or weekends. The staff are nice. It's very clean and spacious. Decoration is always sparkly.

There are times when I arrive early though like yesterday and the mall provides a very relaxing ambiance to simply walk and browse. One half of the mall has been redone and the aesthetic is chefs kiss! High end shops that all look like they could be flagship locations and peaceful water sculptures and lots of seating to lounge around and sip a nice coffee. It's typically not very busy in the mall area during the week but it does get busier on the weekend. A nice option for shopping and dining if you're ever in the area and if you want to escape the craziness of Garden State Plaza or something more upscale than Bergen Town Center.

This is one DMV in Bergen that has all the services. I have got my license from here, did several renewals, registered cars, did inspections, surrounded plates, brought family members for their licenses. In most occasions I got a friendly service from the staff. The place is relatively small for the amount of people that wait inside. Parking lot also gets crammed. Over the years, specially after covid they started to manage the visitors better. Still be prepared to wait 2-3 hours if you have any document related work.

I don't know if it's because of the Soccer World Cup 2026, the fact that it's Saturday afternoon, or the sweltering heat, but it is incredibly crowded. I came straight here after work to check it out because I have movie tickets for the cinema located inside. I arrived a bit too early, so I'm going to walk around and explore the place, and I'll let you know what I think later. The air conditioning is holding up well against the massive crowd. I'll share my thoughts on the other places I visit later on. I can see a variety of spots here, though--places like "Carlitos BBQ taqueria", as well as coffee shops, pretzel stands, dessert spots, a Macy's, ramen restaurants, and more.
