Naja Young
I met Naja about a year ago and as soon as I laid eyes on her, I knew she would one day be a superstar. She has that je ne sais quoi, an old school swag that belongs somewhere in the 70s… and then I heard her sing. I invited her to HQ when she […]

Easy Hummus Recipe
I love summer weekends! It often times means BBQ season. A great side dish to whip up if you are going to someone’s place or hosting is hummus. It goes well with meat for you carnivores, or even delicious Veggie Burgers for the “others”. The thing about store bought hummus is that it is full of […]

6 days in Barcelona, Spain
I returned from the most amazing vacation in Barcelona just a few days ago. I spent a week here and it was almost life-changing.

The Wild Rover
I am a Jersey City native, but in December 2014, I moved to North Hudson County. I remember feeling a bit displaced in the beginning because I did not know the area as well as I thought I did. During the whole process of moving, it didn’t hit me that I was moving to a […]

Firefighter and Singer Nick Fargo of MoTHER
Ever since my interview with Engine 9 I’ve had a slight obsession with Jersey City firefighters. They are the best of the best. Nick Fargo is no exception… but Nick leads a double life, well maybe a triple life. Nick is Jersey City Firefighter and welder by day and a huge rockstar by night. Nick […]

Summer is officially, finally, here. There’s nothing better than leaving work early on Fridays and heading to a friend’s barbecue.
