Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:36pm
Rob W:

On the dumpling front, enjoyed some pretty tasty veggie momo from empyrean indian kitchen, the newest Indian restaurant in Hoboken. They have a very Jersey City / Edison / Iselin menu if you know what i mean, catering to emigre tastes, which is a first for Hoboken, and the food is great but pricey owing I think to the high cost of doing business around here.
