Grand Openings
January 5, 2009
Welcome to 2009!
It’s also the beginning of our third year as publishers of NJ My Way, the only free, daily, subscriber based e-newsletter that gives you the inside scoop on everything En Jay.
There’s plenty to look forward to this year on our side of the rivers—assuming these planned openings and happenings stay on track-- literally.
They call it Aces… to us it’s another Gambler’s Express. But to the ailing casinos it’s a lifeline that will help make them the winner. This new weekend train service direct to Atlantic City launches in February. The train originates in New York City and stops in Newark. Tickets start at $50 one-way for a coach seat.
This year’s biggest opening might be Xanadu, the 4.8 million square foot behemoth mall and “entertainment destination” in the Meadowlands. In November developers cited construction complexities, (the huge space features an indoor snow dome and aquarium) and delayed opening the 2 billion dollar complex to mid-summer, 2009. Stay tuned.
In the meantime, hard core shop-aholics can get their ultimate fix at Nordstrom Rack, in the new Bergen Town Center scheduled to open sometime this Spring. For the un-enlightened, this is Nordstrom’s super chic and cheap sister outlet, the first to open in En Jay. Also in late March, the Cherry Hill Mall welcomes a brand new Nordstrom store.

The Prudential Center takes center stage when it hosts Britney Spears “Circus Tour” in March. As of now, some tickets in the stratospheric $500+ remain, but likely not for long.
We’re also keeping an eye on Hoboken’s trendy W Hotel, which opens in April-- the buzz about this 25 story hotel and luxury residence is that it has it all; great views, a hot restaurant, lux spa, and a lobby/bar called the living room where you can hang out and drink it all in.
Lots more ahead 2009-- And whatever happens, we’ve got you covered!
