Art and Studio Tour this weekend!
One of the city's best events, and certainly most popular is this weekend when the Art and Studio Tour returns for a 26th triumphant year. Johnny has become very immersed in the JC arts scene, actually now hanging with artists at parties and quietly and politely nodding his head when they discuss art because Johnny's best artwork was the one time he really nailed the pirate in the back of the TV Guide "Can You Draw Me" section. Artists throughout the PAD and Harsimus Cove and all over downtown have really been kind in giving background to this city's rich art history to a noob.
Pssst, there's even a chance Johnny and the mayor will be rubbing elbows at an event or two this weekend. Relax, it's about the great work of our artists, nothing more.
You can get all the info with all the artists all over Jersey City and where they can be found Saturday and Sunday. Truly a gem in our city's crown.

Mathews Food and Drink to open tomorrow
Grove St. will get another restaurant tomorrow as it slots in at the site of the old La Conguita restaurant, gone now over a year. Mathews Food and Drink will open after many rumored beginnings it did look ready to take on customers tonight.
Looking forward to trying it. We'll see what magic the White Star owners can work at this new site.

It's a little heavy on the woe is Steve Fulop, but an excellent look at why he's not running for governor
Winner, longest headline.
Max Pizarro with PolitickerNJ has a great and in-depth article on exactly why Steve Fulop made such an about-face on running for Governor and deciding to throw his support to Phil Murphy and who exactly Fulop pissed off when he did make this choice. It's a good read and you should click here right away and commence to reading.
As a side note, Johnny wonders if today's Bridgegate bleeding into a possible Urban League Donation-Gate also might have had something to do with Fulop aborting liftoff.

Late night open thread
Gotta love preseason anything, it's the time to work out the bugs. Take tonight for instance, the Florida Panthers and Dallas Stars both showed up to the rink with only their white jerseys...and played that way.

Jets and Giants GAMEDAY!
The Jets, coming off a really bad road effort in Kansas City last week come home for a 1pm kickoff in the new Meadowlands vs the Seattles and their annoying bandwagon fans. Johnny doesn't need much analysis time on this one. The Jets can't move the ball and Seattle is good at stopping teams who can't move the ball....like the Jets. Those willing to head over to East Rutherford today and dodge rain showers on this dreary Sunday should get a special sticker or pin.

The Giants don't play today, they play tomorrow in Minnesota. The Giants laid one BIG egg in the 4th quarter last week vs the Redskin Potatoes, so bad they had to fumigate the field before the Jets played today. The Vikings are a surprising 3-0. This is one of those road games at the beginning of the year when you make the predictions based on game-by-game W's and L's you'd have given Big Blue a W and simply moved on. Not that easy, in fact Johnny doesn't think it will be a W at all. The Vikings have no injured players, and their defense is allowing only 13 points a game. Only if the Giants can go play-action and have big games from two receivers will they win this on the road. Trouble is the Vikes are almost as stout against the run as Big Blue. Hard to win on the road in the NFL...
