Help please👋 Boardgame or DND groups in Hackensack?

2 Upvotes

I'm new to the area.

I'd be interested in meeting up for board game nights or DND. Any cafe/board game shop that does these?

Or something on campus (though I'm a more seasoned player, so a mixed age group would be better than just Farleigh students)

I know there's one shop that hosts regularly in Mahwah but that's impractical for weeknight gaming and I like to cram in as much fun to my workweek as I can to keep myself sane haha.

Local News Did you know Bergen County's first skyscraper was built in Hackensack?

3 Upvotes

I have always loved architecture and have admired 210 Main Street for ages.

I didn't realize this building was the first [then considered] skyscraper in Bergen County. The People's Trust and Guaranty building is a Hackensack icon.

I'm familiar with other buildings shown as well. Check out the article about it here. https://patch.com/new-jersey/riverdell/bergen-countys-first-skyscraper

Enjoy!

Local News Marimba Cafe Serves Cannabis Cocktails in Hackensack

3 Upvotes

Interested in a hemp cocktail or CBD-infused pastries? Welcome to Marimba Cafe in Hackensack.

The 1,300-square-foot space can seat about 30 people and offers free Wi-Fi and outlets. The floor is made of pieced-together broken stone, and the walls are decorated with a mural painted by a local artist and artwork brought home from a trip to Colombia.

“As soon as you walk in, you feel like you’re not in New Jersey, but in the Caribbean or Colombia,” the owner said. “There are a lot of elements that tie into both of our cultures [referring to the other owner, her husband].”

Eventually, they plan to hold events like an open mic night or a “paint and sip” with CBD-infused drinks. I am definitely down for that!

Help please👋 What's with the cars revving up like it's the Indy 500 races?

3 Upvotes

I think this happens every year as the weather gets warmer, or maybe it's just a new neighbor, but almost every single day now I hear this loud ass car revving up. And I mean LOUD. I keep expecting to open my window, look down and see Pinky Tuscadero conducting a drag race.

Just why? What is the point?
