As far as I know, the rooms close by Jersey City closed i.e. Willow, Herberts. Hi Tech in Weehauken is still open. Not much of a players room, but a poolhall none the less.
I would visit Castle Billiards, in E. Rutherford. It's right behind Giants Stadium and has a full bar, w/food. Also, they have a tight, tight table with the same pocket/rail cut as the TAR table. Good room.
In Manhattan (if you dont mind taking a PATH train), there is Amsterdam Billiard Club (which is nice, but nothing that extraordinary) or Society Billiards (I happen to like the Diamond tables) or a hand full of other rooms.
