Hoboken Planning Board To Hear Application For Alfalfa Restaurant Downtown

HOBOKEN, NJ — The Hoboken Planning Board will hear an application next week for the Alfalfa salad restaurant, located in uptown Hoboken, to open another location at the site of the former Sobsey's and Ma's Gourmet grocery stores in downtown Hoboken.

Alfalfa, known for its salads, wraps, and donuts, has locations in California, as well as at the former Schnackenberg's Luncheonette in uptown Hoboken, and in Jersey City.

As with Schackenberg's, they are hoping to take over another space that held a longtime business.

The beloved Sobsey's Grocery at 150 Newark St. closed down in 2016, and was taken over by Ma's Gourmet, which closed last summer.

Alfalfa Downtown has proposed to open a Class II restaurant in the space, as reported first in Jersey Digs this week.

The Application

The matter can be seen on the agenda for the Jan. 17 Planning Board Subdivision and Site Plan Committee meeting, to be held at 6 p.m. The meeting will be held virtually.
