A few weeks ago, bossman of Virile Barber & Shop Jersey City and a dear friend of mine, Andre Fersa reached out to me to let me know he will be throwing a special one year anniversary party at LITM. I immediately jumped at the opportunity and said to him let’s do a special one […]
“In Full Color”
Summer is a fixture in the Jersey City culture scene, she is a culture writer for the Jersey Journal, and is always out there covering the scene all over JC. I met her when I started this blogging journey and we instantly connected. We are both small and cute so it’s only natural we would […]
AMT Spring Trunk Show!
Last week we got a taste of spring, so it’s only a matter of time till the weather warms up and we can bust out those cute summer dresses! Another Man’s Treasure threw a fun spring trunk show at their shop last night for the ladies! I got there around 8pm and the store was […]
Virile Barbershop Pt 2
There is no secret that I am a huge fan of the Virile Barber & Shop on Jersey Ave. Ever since my week long theme week, I’ve been itching for an excuse to go back there and hang out. Since then I’ve become good friends with “Stylish Peep” Andre who is now running the JC […]
Ball!
“Ball” by T.I is one of my favorite songs to dance to, it’s upbeat and the choreo makes me feel like such a bad ass! I incorporated a little bit of the “crip walk” and of course a “ballin” movement. It’s a simple dance but really gets your heart pumping! I suggest actually trying this […]
The Brightside Tavern – Jersey City’s Cheers
Tom Parisi aka Tommy 2 Scoops is the most loved man in Jersey City. I heard about him many months ago when I started blogging. People in the community would tell me how friendly and hilarious he is so I knew it would be only a matter of time before we crossed paths. At the […]
Petey Ugly x Kraze Ugly
I heard about Petey Ugly x Kraze Ugly a few months ago through the grapevine, and the idea of a hip hop duo in Jersey City intrigued me…I did some internet stalking and listened to their music. Petey and Kraze are so talented, they rap about real life, which is relatable in comparison to some […]
“Sock Hop” Party
I love a reason to dress up, so I was so excited when I heard Union Republic was throwing a 1950’s style “Sock Hop” party in collaboration with my fav vintage shop, Another Man’s Treasure and party mogul Dancing Tony (post coming soon!). We got to Union Republic at around 9pm and the place was […]
Beats by Onhel
Since I started this blogging journey, I’ve interviewed many artists, especially in the hip hop genre. I do love all types of music and planning to explore a wider range of styles going forward, but hip hop music will always be what I connect to the most. The music industry in general is very intriguing […]
Yoga in the Heights
I heard about Yoga in the Heights over the summer when they were having classes at the Riverview Farmers Market. The idea of doing a class outside in a park with the most incredible view sounded amazing to me… I was not able to try it out so when Stephanie and Bridget invited me to […]
We Found Love!
Happy Wednesday friends! I’ve been feeling a little tired and sluggish these days, but so excited the weather is getting better. That is why I am bringing back this old Rihanna summer track “We Found Love”. The beat is very “dancy” so I love to start the class with it. We are wearing Faded Royalty […]
la vie en rose
A few weeks ago, I went to Jersey City Tattoos to interview and get tattooed by Adam Patterson, the owner and tattooer of this dope local tattoo spot. I got two pieces done; a bow which doesn’t really have any meaning behind it other than me just liking them because they are cute…. and a […]
Brunch Exchange
The concept of going to party on a Sunday normally does not appeal to me…. Usually by 4pm I am plastered on my couch in my jammies! A few months ago I learned about the “Brunch Exchange” through a social media friend and future stylish peep, Sonny Castillo. He told me it was a party […]
JC Fridays Roundup
It’s been a while since I attended any weekend festivities in Jersey City, and this weekend was jammed packed with events. I had a whole list of all the things I wanted to check out yet only made it to 10% of them. Can someone please clone me?! Another thing that did not help my […]
Chris Capaci
May 8th will mark ChicpeaJC’s one year anniversary. It’s crazy how time has flown by and how much this blog has grown in the past 10 months. I obviously couldn’t of done all this myself, I am proud to say I have a team of people who are a part of this journey and Chris […]
Busy Bee Organics
That day at the Farmers Market, after taking in all the amazing foods on this counter, I looked up and saw Michelle. Miss Busy Bee herself, girl boss and chef of this bad ass startup, smiling and talking about the food. She is like a ray of sunshine! Michelle is so sweet and incredibly passionate […]
Loyal!
Happy Hip Hop Hump Wednesday! So Chris Brown is not the nicest person, but I do like some of his songs, especially this one. The choreography is easy and fun, and anyone can freestyle to it! I teach every Wednesday at Base at 8pm and will be guest teaching tomorrow at THE SPORTS BARRE so if […]
THE SPORTS BARRE
I am a fitness fiend and ever since I can remember I’ve been on a quest for that perfect tush. That is why for months now I’ve been waiting for The Sports Barre to open…. I met Jacey and Danielle a few months ago, and we had a fun boozy lunch at Marco and Pepe. They […]
ChicpeaTV Episode 3
Here it is, Episode 3! The first two were centered around food and hot chicks, this time we wanted to do something a little different. Nizz Sentine and Vincent The Owl are rappers and best friends, and they are hilarious! They are definitely the funniest guys I’ve ever interviewed. I knew that doing an episode with them […]
ChicpeaJC goes to Tel Aviv
ChicpeaJC is all about my journey of discovering Jersey City in all its glory, but this blog is also about me, my voice and my experiences. That is why it is important to me that I share a side of me that makes me who I am; my background, my culture and heritage. Israel. I […]
