I'm not sure, but it appears that the Don Alfonso Peruvian Restaurant at 402 State St has closed.
I saw some tables on the sidewalk last week and I thought that al fresco dining had come to State Street, but then I saw them being carted away and there's been zero activity since.
I hope I'm wrong (Alfonso still owes me a dinner). ;)

Sounds from here that some River Street polo is in order.

I think I'd rather have some pollo. ;D

Actually what Hackensack really needs is a Cluck- U Chicken franchise in town. Unfortunately the closest ones are in Jersey City and Hoboken.
That would be a real money maker. Put one by the Medical Center and another one on River Street.

Chicken Delight or Chicken Unlimited in Hasbrouck Heights were my go-to places as a kid. That, of course after Gino's (which sold KFC) closed

I agree with Homer....Cluck U.. I'm a student of that university. .
C.J's pizza Box in little ferry ...serves Cluck U Chicken ...chicken tenders and wings. ....all the way up to thermonuclear. ..
And they deliver. ...

The Chicken Magician will make them all disappear!

No chicken tastes better than Chick fil A. As a child, my family would go about once a month to Paramus Park, just for Chick fil A, and then maybe do some other shopping.

there is or was a Cluck you in Paramus at Kings Pizza

Was there ever a Chicken and Rib Crib in Hackensack? The closest one I remember was in Garfield

There was a Chicken Magician on Anderson Street a few years back.

..............and then:

After that, it occupied space at My China Cafe on Linden St and now has hit the big time on Main St.
Getting back to the thread's topic: does anyone remember what very different type of business venture came semi-close to taking over that space before the Don Alfonso Restaurant moved in?

The space had been vacant for quite a while before Alfonso moved in. Since It's directly visible from my LR, I could see what was(n't) going on.
One day, I saw some activity and a few people inside the building. Curious, I went over there the next day and met some people who were interested in taking over the space.
"For what?", I asked.
"A strip club."
When they found out that I was a photographer, lived right across the parking lot from them and had done some photography for the old Play For Pleasure store on Main St, I almost had an interesting new job. I was still shooting concerts at the time, so I was used to late hours and it was within easy walking distance.
Oh well...............maybe they'll come back.

When I shot the first picture a little over a month ago, I thought the truck was for the building next door, which has many businesses that are constantly moving in and out.
I now know better.
Apparently, the restaurateur never sent the memo to his customers, who are still looking for Waldo Alfonso.
