Is this list a joke? The point of restaurant week is to get an opportunity to try high end expensive restaurants. A few of the ones on this list of restaurant week deals are more expensive than a normal meal there. Like Hamilton pork for $39 is a deal??? Cmon

Not a joke, the JC & Hudson county resturant week has missed the whole fuckin' point for years.

I don't even have to pull up this year's to know it. Hamilton Pork probably follow the format of what lots of people do in years past: probably pick an app, pick an entree, maybe a drink, (all full price adding up to $39- and the funny part sometimes less if you buy individually from the normal menu), and then toss in a free half assed dessert that isn't on the normal menu like a brownie with a scoop of iced cream.

the "real Jersey city restaurant week" is even worse. In fact, I 100% blame that abomination as the main reason why Hudson RW sucks so bad now. It used to be that Hudson RW was actually pretty good, with a ton of participation by really good restaurants in JC and Hoboken with great deals (man, I miss the Edward's Restaurant Week deal) but once JC RW came around, most restaurants seem to have reacted by picking one or the other, or putting forth a crappy offering for both.
