The Hoboken Terminal train concourse that has been closed since the tragic train crash in September is scheduled to reopen in June. The walled-off concourse creates traffic throughout the terminal, especially during rail disruptions like the recent derailment at Penn Station that drove thousands of commuters into Hoboken.  According to NorthJersey.com, the project to repair the entire station will not be completed until 2019. However, opening the concourse should improve the traffic flow throughout the station.

Ample Hills Creamery, the Zagat rated #1 ice-cream spot in NYC, is opening their newest location in Jersey City in the new Urby building. According to Jersey Digs, the first location opened in Brooklyn in the spring in 2011 and after four days of lines to get into the shop, they had to close for nine days in order to make enough ice cream to fulfill the demand.
