Al Bundy aka Jay Prichett (née Ed O’Neill, had to!) has had a few fun dining experiences in Jersey City over the last few days (thanks to some reader submissions we’ve received). Most recently, he was spotted at Ani Ramen in Jersey City per its owners, and previously, at Luna downtown. So, why is he here? It’s all pointing to the new movie, ‘Bad Day,’ that he’s filming in New Jersey over the last few weeks.
Over the weekend, Ed O’Neill, most well-known these days as Jay Prichett in Modern Family, was spotted dining at Luna in downtown Jersey City. He posed with a local, and appeared to enjoy himself, according to restaurant goers.

Just this Tuesday, October 21st, he was at Ani Ramen, and even wrote “I was a virgin to ramen — this shit is magical! Gotta get the egg tho – Ed O’Neill” he signed in their guest book, which they shared exclusively with The Hoboken Girl team. (TBH, we couldn’t agree more, there’s nothing like a warm bowl of ramen with an egg on top on a cold day [or any day, really].)

But back to the reason he’s here: a Netflix movie. He and Cameron Diaz, who has been spotted in Hoboken + Jersey City in the last week or two as well, are working on the same project. She’s playing a single mom who works in a local home decor store, and the film follows one chaotic day in her life. The production is actively filming for Netflix currently, so spottings of both Cameron and Ed along with co-stars Danielle Brooks and John Higgins are likely.
