Bringing people, places and events to life
Mile Square Dates, an events-based dating company, is pairing up with other small businesses in the area for a crazy “singled out” event this Friday, April 4th at the Village Pourhouse in Hoboken at 6pm.
Think speed dating meets an in-person tinder.
Other upcoming events include beer pong, a workout, and a wine tasting.

It has been a long, cold winter here in Jersey City. Let’s break out of our shells and welcome spring even if only the calendar says it’s so!

On Tuesday, February 11th, Garden State Food Tours has organized a pre-Valentine’s soiree featuring cocktails and desserts.
What better place to host it than LITM? Love is the message, after all, at least when it goes into delicacies designed for your sweet tooth. Jersey City residents love an excuse to party, and here it is.
Tickets can be purchased here.

Superbowl XLVIII is happening here, Jersey City!
No, seriously, both teams are staying in our great city, and as part of the Volunteer Host Committee, I will be in one of those hotels on gameday…as well as participating in other activities during this week before the event.
The Media will start arriving on Sunday, January 26th. Fellow followers, grip yourselves: The area’s already overcrowded population will increase MUCH. Our small businesses are going to thrive and our citizens are going to enjoy all of the excitement (or be bothered by the influx of hyped outsiders) in the cold.
I decided, rather than do my usual personal research and write-up of everything, to make a montage of info already out there and put it here in one place. I’ll continue to update my site as I get more tips from all of you! Send to: jerseycitygia@gmail.com

Rhymes With Opera presents “Red Giant” to Jersey City this Sunday, January 19th at 2pm in the Barrow Mansion (83 Wayne St.). “Red Giant” is a one-act opera and a surreal story set in the future, taking place inside a spaceship on a journey to an unknown destination. As the sun slowly explodes and engulfs their former planet, the three humans onboard reflect on both the futility of their search for a new home and their need for a sense of hope.
Rhymes With Opera (RWO) is an ensemble dedicated to commissioning and producing new operas, and this fully staged performance of New Haven composer Adam Matlock and librettist Brian Slattery’s work will be presented in a brand-new orchestration, written especially for RWO’s house band, Rhymes With Orchestra.
The production also includes a special world premiere: a concert presentation of Baltimore composer Erik Spangler’s “Damascus Mix”, developed through a long-distance collaboration between the composer and RWO ensemble member Bonnie Lander. The live vocal part emerges from a cut-up of international news reports; the music stretches beyond our idea of “language,” while defining a unified field between the human voice and electronically generated sound.
Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Purchase tickets here.
