The pace of restaurant turnover in Hoboken is quite the phenomenon. One day, a restaurant is a thriving pillar of the Duckbills community, the next it closes for renovations and never reopens.

For this week’s Cuisine Corner, I was inspired by a couple of friends who were looking for something different. The original lunch plan was to get sandwiches at a local sandwich shop (review to come), when the idea popped into my head to stop by one of my favorite breakfast places, La Isla.
Hoboken is known far and wide for its variety of restaurants, a condition which leads to an interesting competitive characteristic. For every restaurant in Hoboken, there is typically another restaurant offering a similar, if not same, product in a different environment.
Since freshman year, Ayame has been one of the restaurants I’ve frequented most. It’s close to campus, they are one of the few restaurants in Hoboken with hibachi, and their lunch specials are absolutely phenomenal.

A very snowy welcome back to everyone, both to campus for the “spring” semester and to Cuisine Corner. Hopefully you’ve come looking for a decent restaurant in Hoboken in which to kick off the semester, so I reached back to another restaurant I somehow had not visited since Freshman year: Margherita’s.
