About a month ago, I made a call out on my social media looking for my next local stylish peep and someone tagged @arist0crat. Aris, was raised in Jersey City and has impeccable style, he actually does not fall into any category, he can basically pull off any kind of look and has no problem […]
The Farmers Market at NJCU
Last Wednesday, Julio Levia a local vendor with Café Presto and volunteer at the RTNA, reached out to invite me to the weekly farmers market at the NJCU John J. Moore Athletic and Fitness Center pavilion. It was a crazy Wednesday but at around 1pm I got hungry and decided what better place to eat lunch then […]
Quick Weekend Roundup!
So much for taking it easy this weekend! How could I not write about all the fun that I got to experience in Jersey City! That being said, Friday night I was planning on attending the Art House Productions Summer Blowout, but the couch won the battle. So I sent my newest and only ChicpeaJC […]
Charles & Co
I’ve known about SILVERMAN ever since I started my blogging career. SILVERMAN are not just developers, they are a huge part of the Jersey City community, always planning fun events, working and helping local businesses, non-profit organizations, schools… basically everyone. I always see Paul walking around, shaking people’s hands and saying hello. They are good people doing great things […]

The JCFD Unveils 6 New Fire Department Vehicles!
Today at Liberty State Park, Mayor Steven Fulop and Public Safety Director James Shea unveiled six new fire department vehicles. As some of you may know, I have a soft spot for the Jersey City Fire Department, especially after my Engine 9 and O’Leary’s Publik house posts…so when I got the press release from the […]
Hero Gawd
Months ago, I interviewed local rap group, The Designer Boyz at their studio, and before sitting down to talk they had me listen to rapper/producer Hero’s new single “Mama Rich” before it dropped. After listening to it , I told them “This song is going to be a hit”…. It had all the components of […]
Another Man’s Treasure Turns 9!
Anyone who’s been following this blog or my social media knows that I am obsessed with local vintage Boutique Another Man’s Treasure. I can honestly say that 75% of the clothes I wear are from this shop! I even dedicated 2 weeks to the store as well as over a dozen “what I am wearing” […]
Berry Lane Park
When asked what my favorite hangout spots are in Jersey City my answer is always one of the many beautiful parks. When mini-chicpea and I want a quiet afternoon, we go to Van Vorst (post coming soon), when we want more action and play options we go to Hamilton Park, when we want to go […]
Sugartown Bakery & Cafe
I’ve walked by Sugartown Bakery many times after hanging at my favorite hangout spot, Van Vorst Park with mini-chicpea. I never really thought to go into this adorable shop since I thought it was just a bakery specializing in cakes for weddings, bridal showers and various events. Little did I know it was an all-encompassing […]
Willow Benham
I’ve known Willow since before mini-chicpea was even born, she is the uber stylish toddler of one of my dear Jersey City friends. Every time I see Willow she is wearing a fun outfit; from princess dress, to super hero swag… this tot knows how to work it… and she really is one of the […]
Newark Ave Pedestrian Plaza!
It’s official friends, Newark Ave officially became a pedestrian plaza as of yesterday. The block going from Grove to Erie will be closed to all road traffic FOREVER, all day, everyday! I went to check it out yesterday and noticed that people who were walking on Newark Ave seemed a little confused, and this morning […]
Top 5 Things to do this Weekend in Jersey City
Over 30 events are happening around Jersey City! Which for anyone can be overwhelming, where do you go? what do you do?! That being said, I am sitting this weekend out. I might go to one or two things but I am in need of an actual weekend (I am probably lying). Anyway, I figured […]
Duchess Free
This Saturday the Liberty Humane Society is throwing it’s second annual Hamilton BARK Festival, at Hamilton Park, from 12-7pm. Hamilton BARK is a one-day community festival and fundraiser for LHS, including live entertainment and activities for children, adults, and four-legged family members! To raise awareness of this awesome event I thought it would be cute to interview a local […]
The Book of Helga
Alex Pergament is a photographer and artist who happens to also practice Law… usually it is the other way around, a Lawyer who does art as a hobby… but not in this case. I met Alex about a year ago around the Jersey City art scene, and have been following his work ever since. A […]
JCITFF Summer Blockbuster Party!
Last October, I attended the Jersey City Film Festival Opening night at Parlay Studios, it was the first time I ever got a Press pass and officially covered a local event with a red carpet and some of Jersey City’s coolest peeps. I had a blast! This sort of thing is so up my alley…. […]
A day at PS 22
A few weeks ago, at a local restaurant I ran into friend Joel (aka NemoBeatz) and he told me all about his experience as Principal for the day at Public School #22. He wouldn’t stop raving about Oscar (the real principal) and about all the students so I forced Joel to put me in touch […]
Mackienzie King
Mackienzie King is a force to be reckoned with, I give her a year before she becomes a Jersey City legend. We found each other on social media a few months ago and immediately connected. Mackienzie is 24 years young and has more experience under her belt than most of us…she is a talented clothing/graphic […]

Last weekend was a little intense…even for me. After covering what seemed to be around 1,000 different events for the Epic Jersey City weekend roundup, I needed an epic nap. This weekend, I decided to take it “easy” and chose 5 events that I wanted to hit up for myself, for the family and for […]
