Nana, Papa, Ryan and Hannah came to Hoboken to visit and see our new place. We had great plans for dinner at a Latin place on the water overlooking the Manhattan skyline. At 4:45 we received a call from the restaurant, Lua. This is what the hostess said, "I am calling about your reservations. We might be closed tonight. The street just fell into the Hudson." I replied with, "WHAT!?!" She said, "Yeah I've never seen anything like it. We aren't closed yet, but we might be. I'll call you back."
We of course had to check out what she was talking about, even if we weren't going to go there for dinner. We walked down our street to the waterfront and this is what we saw....
The street right in front of the restaurant had sunk into the ground. The Hudson River is to the right of this picture and the restaurant is to the left. We decided to walk around to the other side of the building to get a better look and see if we still could eat dinner here!
Crazy! As you can see the hole was huge! Apparently the restaurant was going to open back up at 7:30. We decided to cancel our dinner plans and head somewhere else for dinner. A 7:30 start would have been too late for Mia to eat and get home for bed. It ended up working out well for us, not so much for Lua. We ate at the City Bistro instead and had a great meal. Hoboken has excellent restaurants so far. There is one every 5 feet I feel like.
