Bringing people, places and events to life
Jersey City’s waterfront beach megabar reopens for the season tonight, Friday May 13th.
Soak up views of Manhattan and Liberty Island, indoor and al fresco waterfront dining and drinking, and a sandy beach with fire pits perfect for getting cozy.
There is a revamped food and drink menu, and 25 craft beers that will rotate throughout the season.

It is that wintry time of year again where restaurants beg for our patronage post-New Year’s and pre-Valentine’s Day: Hudson Restaurant Week. Hudson County’s begins when New York City’s ends, so as not to compete for capital.
From January 25th to February 5th, attend restaurants (that may be outside of your budget) to sample each menu at a set price.
Here are participating Jersey City restaurants:
Laico’s (pick up a hard copy of The Jersey City Independent for my lengthy review; this is not one to miss!)
View the full list of Hudson County participating restaurants, prices and menus here.

Oh the overcast sky, the chilly nip in the air, the fear of imminent Hurricane Joaquin…
All reminds us that Fall is well under way in Jersey City, which means that right now, your body craves snuggly comfort foods.
Thank goodness Jersey City has an endless supply of places to satisfy that need.

There are so many awesome restaurants in Jersey City. I’ve covered plenty more than these on my (this) site, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Foursquare/Swarm and for the Jersey City Independent’s magazine and website.
These are just picks for our impending weather.
And, if disaster strikes you and not me, do stop by and do refuel here as many did during Sandy.
Be well and warm on,

This Saturday, September 19th, is the all-out awesome All About Downtown Street Fair.
Stroll up or down Newark Avenue (between Grove St. and Jersey Ave.) to soak up live music, nosh on noms, sip adult bevvies, and shop from 11am-8pm. (Yay because I have to work until 5 and would hate to miss the best street fair ever!)
There will be over 100 local vendors, and plenty of fun activities for the kids, too.
FB info here.
Shop local. Support local.
