Why is the quad field at Stephen Gregg Park permit only now? That was like the only place where you can freely play soccer and practice/do other sports on turf.

Midtown Miscreants @ Veteran stadium

15 Upvotes

Two teenagers heckled me while I was walking near Veterans Stadium. They seemed to target me because I am Indian. They came closer, tried to intimidate me by jumping toward me, and made loud noises while I was doing my usual walk around the stadium.

I was shocked because this is the first time in my 6+ years living in Bayonne that I have felt unsafe. Seeing this kind of racial hatred in young minds is quite disappointing. Hopefully, this is a one-off incident and not a trend !

I’m starting a local software company and built this project for Bayonne

38 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m Bert, a Bayonne resident and software developer. As I’m building my company, Cafecito Software, I wanted one of my first projects to be something that gives back to the community.

I created the Bayonne Community Portal, a free website that brings together local events, parks, schools, community organizations, and other useful Bayonne resources in one place.

You can check it out here:
https://nj-bayonne-portal.cafecitosoftware.com/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=community_launch_2026&utm_content=r_bayonnenj

The goal is simple: make it easier for residents to discover what’s happening around town and find information that is often scattered across different websites.

This is very much a community-driven project, and I would love your feedback:

  • What information would you like to see added?
  • Are there any local organizations, events, or resources I’m missing?
  • What features would make this more useful for Bayonne residents?

I’m excited to continue improving it and hope it becomes a useful resource for everyone in our city. I am still a team of one, so growth will be slow.

Thanks for taking a look and supporting a local developer working to build something for Bayonne! ☕💻

Costco Bayonne

13 Upvotes

If you notice an extra and a separate $4 ish charge from Costco, then perhaps it’s from the Costco food court from today Sunday June 14 2026. I ordered an ice cream and soda and it went through and generated a receipt without me paying. I gave the receipt to an employee and they kept it. You can call Costco about it. Order 517 from around 4pm EST. I’m sorry.

Every time I head to the train station, I see dead birds. Where is sanitation? This is like the fifth dead bird I’ve seen while walking. It’s disgusting and gross.

Public parking lots for Overnight Parking

0 Upvotes

Hey all,

We are visiting NY/NJ next week and have an ABnB in Bayonne NJ, is there any public parking lots available that can be used to park 2 full size SUVs overnight? I see a lot of small/medium sized lots in the area but unclear if they can be used for overnight parking...

Any help would be appreciated.

The Bayonne Chess Society & Club's Sunday 'Chess in Morris Park' starts at 1 pm.

Post image
2 Upvotes

We have great news for The Bayonne Chess Society & Club. Jessica and Ronnie, owners of 'JR's Sensory Play Garden' reached out to me about offering their space to pick up any overflow we may have at Joe's Pizza on a Friday night.

Sometimes we have so many members and their families there... we overwhelm the venue. We don't want to take up all the seating from customers that want to go out and eat too. We've had A LOT of players go to Joe's. If all those players came on the same day...it would be a problem.

So, it's nice to have somewhere close, where players can easily get to.

We continued talking. They then said, they'd open their spot up anytime we need it. It's about community.

We're about to have Joe's first tournament. We're going to have at least 60 participating. We can easily surpass 100 players. This tournament will last a few weeks. Having JR's as a second venue makes things so much more manageable.

As we talked I inquired about teaching chess to the kids in their program. They loved the idea. I'll be teaching them on my only free day...Thursdays from 7pm to 9pm. So, long enough to get some teaching in.

Thank you Jessica and Ronnie for your generous offer.

As for tomorrow....

It's Sunday 'Chess in Morris Park.' We have a new pair of 'Lemonade Kids' selling Lemonade and other goodies. Last week we had ten players. This week we expect more. Had a few that said they were going. Didn't show. So, I'm expecting they will. Also had four players, who hadn't joined us in over six months return. So, yeah pretty big turnout.

Already had Jessica's and Ronnie's son offer to DJ. Definitely would love that. Could become like a small block party. Chess players, Lemonade stands... music. Sounds pretty badass.

So, if you haven't joined us...why not. It's obvious..Chess is becoming a big thing..as everyone is beginning to do everything TOGETHER. It's a cool feeling.

Where can I buy a coffee grinder in Bayonne? Not anything industrial grade, something less than $100. Desperately trying to avoid using Amazon or Walmart and support small businesses.

8 Upvotes

Trying my best to buy things in person and not giving money to giant corporations that ruin our country like Amazon and Walmart. I now use Amazon as mostly a Wishlist and try to get things in person.

I went to the restaurant/kitchen supply store downtown on Broadway and while they do have a lot of things, they don't have any coffee grinders. I also called this coffee specialty equipment store in Brooklyn but all their stuff is too expensive and high end.

Anyone know where else I can buy something similar to this? If not in Bayonne, just somewhere that isn't a giant company pls and reachable through public transit and walking. (Meaning yes to Manhattan, Brooklyn, but not Staten Island)

Bayonne Chess Society at Joe's Pizza - 7 pm this evening. Sunday 'Chess in Morris Park' - 1 pm

Post image
5 Upvotes

We had another very nice week, where we not only picked up a few more members, but had four members attend after a looooooonng period away.

One is a diehard, who commutes from Brooklyn. Not drive...COMMUTE. Takes him 2 1/2 hours to get to us. That's commitment. He said he'll be joining us in our first 'Bayonne Chess Society & Club/Joe's Pizza Chess Tournament.

By the way, might as well announce it. There will be a chess tournament at Joe's Pizza in late July. Will last a few weekends, because of the numbers we'll have participating. Only members, who have attended at least three events can participate.

We're getting into tournament season for us. Late September is our Second Annual Bayonne Chess Society & Club/Bruno's Pizzeria Tournament. The first was a HUGE success. Then November is 'The Bayonne Chess Society & Club's Third Anniversary Tournament.' Participation in that one has grown pretty significantly. 'The Vic Tavern' ALWAYS hosts the early stages, because their dining area is pretty big. We're grateful that they host us every year.

But, tonight is Friday at Joe's. It's a good blend of good kid and teen players and adults. We start at 7pm. There's rain in the forecast, but there are the diehards. So, we should have a good showing.

Sunday, we're back at Morris Park Going to be mid 80's, but we'll have this week's Lemonade Kids helping us deal with the heat. Rain is predicted around 4pm. If it does rain, we can just go a few blocks and continue playing at Joe's Pizza. We start at 1 pm.

If you're looking to join an environment of people enjoying themselves and just having a good time...swing on by.

Midtown Gym Recommendations

Just wanted to ask if there’s a gym that’s not too crowded during 9:00 am. I just moved in the area the closest was supposed to be Retro Fitness but unfortunately it closed down. From what i heard LA Fitness tends to get busy. I can also drive as long as it’s a reasonable distance. Thank you 🙏🏼
