His and other non Hispanic students paid the same amount of money to attend classes and get taught in Spanish?. I personally witnessed my man and some of his classmates come out empty handed when other students came out with food to take home for them selves and their families. Other negative verbal comments have been said in the past couple months by the instructor to a student. This past week there was an issue that the students were being told to clip their nails with the same nail clippers without sterlization between each use. That's extremely dangerous and against health codes. I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to catch a disease from anyone. So if thats not enough to make you not want to come here i dont know what is..

Theater was clean and well kept. The theater space itself isn't huge but sound for our kids' show…read morewas just fine, and seats didn't feel crowded nor did the kids seem to have visibility issues in adult chairs even when adults were seated in front of them. Staff were organized and friendly. I had my purse searched upon entry; all bags were looked at. My ticket was purchased through Vivid Seats, and apparently they didn't provide me a legit theater-issued QR so I had to visit the box office. They were friendly and promptly issued me printed tickets. Lobby was a con because it's just small and cramped. This old building probably didn't have to house as much food and merch purchasing back in its day but the multiple concession lines were blocking people from just getting to the theater and accessing their seats. They have tons of low quality junk food for sale. The huge group sitting next to us had chicken fingers, fries, a ketchup smell that wouldn't go away... it was honestly ridiculous the food they allow in people's laps just to turn profits. I was surprised these people were buying full huge meals (that had to cost $40+ each for junk) at 3:30pm to hold it in their laps for a 1.75h kids' show. Whatever. Point is, if you haven't eaten and want to pay $40 for crap that will linger in your body, you will not go hungry here. Clean bathrooms were the right size to allow a packed house to process themselves in the 20min intermission timeframe. This includes the ladies room, which always takes longer, and it was for a kids' show, which adds even more time. I recommend pairing your visit with the Rutgers Zimmerli Art Museum if you have time. They are open until 6pm most nights.

Great night at THE State Theatre! I won tickets for a Ladies Night concert with Raheem DeVaughn and…read moreEric Benét, orchestra level, row P, seats 109/110. Perfect view of the stage, but I don't think it really matters much where you are seated due to the design of the auditorium. The opener was a rising singer/songwriter named Aniyyah, born and raised in New Jersey. Aniyyah's DJ had some technical issues loading her music at the start of her set, but wow, she has a voice on her. She, along with Raheem DeVaughn and Eric made for a fantastic show. They are all extremely talented vocalists, but Raheem DeVaughn without a doubt stole the show with his stage presence. Eric Benét however truly surprised me. His voice is absolutely incredible live. The State Theatre did a major renovation back in 2020 and the interior was previously renovated in 2004. It's as if we have a piece of Broadway right in the middle of New Brunswick, New Jersey. I felt like I stepped right into the 1920s with their vintage design and architecture. The acoustics inside the theatre are phenomenal. I'm not sure if it was my seating, but the sound was so crisp and well balanced. I can understand why any artist would choose this theatre as their preferred venue to perform in. One important note is their designated passageway to the closest parking deck which would otherwise be a long walk in the freezing cold. We were able to use the enclosed heated hallway as a shortcut which leads directly from the garage to the State Theatre located on Livingston Ave. We almost walked right past the entrance to the passageway, so I wanted to make sure I shared it with anyone who has read this far into my review : ) It's been many years since I've come to see a show here, and I had an enjoyable experience. I look forward to checking out any of their other events in the near future.

The store is tucked in to a little industrial park and easy to miss. There are no fancy cabinets or decorations, just popcorn. They are happy to give a sample of any of the popcorns before ordering. I walked in and one of the workers filled my popcorn bag once I ordered it. The prices are a bit high, but I love the concept of employing people who otherwise might not have a job. The popcorn is delicious! My favorite is Cookies and Cream, which has chunks of Oreos in every bite. They happily ship orders and they do fund raising gigs. Definitely worth a visit!

Parking is very small, but not that many people come and go when I go. Admission is $15. Why the low rating you ask? When I did this a year ago, they had you wait in the lobby and gave you a guided tour and explained things, made you hold a snake, and gave you items to hold and touch that aren't part of the free for all it is now. I asked if they can do the guided tour, and we were told they have staff along the way to answer questions...not one human in site! So unfortunate, you guys really need that element back! By the way, I kind of feel bad for the goat that has his pen right next to the trex as big as a house...I've seen Jurassic Park, they are not besties.

My girlfriend and I visited this shelter multiple times over the past two years because we…read moregenuinely wanted to adopt or volunteer. Unfortunately, every application we submitted went completely unanswered. We even spoke with a volunteer during one visit who told us that this lack of follow-through happens often, and that many of the cats have been there for years despite people applying. It's heartbreaking to see animals waiting so long for homes while potential adopters are ignored. We ultimately adopted elsewhere last summer after never receiving a response. When we stopped in again recently, the same cat we had applied for multiple times was still there, now fully grown after nearly three years in the shelter. I truly hope this organization improves its communication and adoption process, because these cats deserve better than being left waiting indefinitely in a dark attic. Read the other reviews, you'll see that there are many people experiencing the same thing here.
