I have this route defined, but any requests made to it get\'s stuck on \'pending\' and runs forever.

Until you call mongoose.connect, your mongoose queries will simply be queued up.

Add code like this in your startup code to connect:

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test', function(err) {
    if (err) {
        console.err(err);
    } else {
        console.log('Connected');
    }    
});

In the connection string, replace test with the name of your database.
