I call them as soon as they accept the ride and ask them if they can take me to Manhattan. If they say no, MAKE THEM CANCEL THE RIDE. They will try to say no sometimes. Use Lyft or another app if they refuse. They can’t take another ride until you or they cancel but they also don’t want to cancel from their end because I think they have a quota. But make them cancel.

Net net theyre allowed to take you wherever if the ride originated in nj. They just can’t accept a new ride until they get back into nj. Not your problem.

I live on palisade up toward Union City and that is 100% not true. It gets pretty busy up past the supremo. People double parked, trucks blocking etc. would be pretty scary for an inexperienced biker.

Newark ave has a protected bike lane up the hill by Dickinson. I think turning on Palisade would be fine up until you cross 139 and then I would try to ride on Baldwin/Webster.

Do you have recos to share? Just recently bought a car so I’m down to explore the west side more

Lol we must have been neighbors at some point. I miss there and exquisite express on church and nostrand

Welcome fellow reformed Brooklyner. You will never have nasty Indian food ever again, but depending on where in bk you’re coming from, you’re really gonna miss good Jamaican/Caribbean food. At least I do but I came from Flatbush.

I love the one in the heights. Never understood why they get so much hate.
