After lunch with David the District Manager of Central Ave SID at Noodlefan we went next door to Jersey Cycles to talk to Luca, bossman of the shop. After eating so well, I was tempted to grab a bike and take it out for a ride. This shop has everything you need if you are looking to get […]
Noodlefan
After my lunch with David, the District Manager of Central Ave SID at Rumbas’ Cafe about a month ago, we made a pact to meet every month for lunch at a new spot and to also check out a new shopping spot on Central Ave. After interviewing the guys at Faded Royalty, they mentioned that one of their […]
Ass Drop!
A few weeks ago we shot 16 new dance videos at Base and they are so dope!! The first video of the series is Wiz Khalifa “Ass Drop”. This song is pretty self explanatory….”Drop it down on it. Made me get a couple bands drop it down on it. Make you get a couple friends drop it down on […]
Ernie Paniccioli “The Photographer”
The first Hip hop album I ever purchased was The Notorious B.I.G’s “Ready to Die”. That is when I fell in love with Hip Hop music and the culture… so much so it became a huge part of my life; I started breakdancing, I bought turntables and records and also DJ’ed for a while…. I have […]
Steven Santander
I first met Steven months ago at a JC Friday themed party at the E.Tittlemouse store. As soon as I laid eyes on him, it was like a neon sign lit up on top of his head with an arrow pointing down that said “Stylish Peep”. He stood out with his tailored suit, top hat […]
ChicpeaJC Goes on Vacation!
Since I started ChicpeaJC I haven’t really taken a break, even when I went to Israel in September for my cousins wedding I was still blogging every day, I even sent my girl Kyra to cover the Street Fair and a Film Opening because I didn’t want to miss out on anything. It was rather stressful and […]
Martin Strange
In the summer I interviewed local rapper Vinny (The Owl, formerly known as Verbal Phantom) and as part of the interview we decided to walk over to an alleyway by Hamilton Park to shoot a video of him free styling… out of nowhere an entourage of people show up; rap group Piss MOBB and “content creator” Martin Strange. […]
Designer Boyz
A few months ago, I heard about Designer Boyz…. I checked out a few of their YouTube videos and for a split second thought I was listening to an old Cash Money Millionaire record. I couldn’t believe they were from Jersey City. Generally speaking, there aren’t that many Hip Hop groups around, and to see […]
Zoey Ramone
Jess, aka Zoey Ramone, is a tattoo artist at Jersey City Tattoo and has tattooed some of the most stylish JC people; menswear fashion blogger Denny who also works at Another Man’s Treasure, Carla owner of Balance Salon (post coming soon), Kari my stylish peep and “girl crush and so many more… Jess is the ultimate babe, she […]
Jersey City Tattoo
10 months ago, I led a seemingly normal life; I was a corporate working mom living a quiet laid back life…and then I had some sort of quarter-life crisis; I decided to start a blog (that would end up changing my life), and also get two new tattoos… I heard through different locals that JC Tattoos […]
The Vintage Show
A week ago, on one of my many visits to my favorite Vintage Shop, Another Man’s Treasure. Meika and Warren my stylish friends and owners of this local business gave me a ticket to The Vintage Show. The Vintage show is vintage heaven, about 30 plus vendors from across the country bring their best vintage […]
The Colgate Clock Styles
A few months ago I teamed up with local artist Pat Massett to bring you all a little slice of Jersey City History combined with fashion! As part of my journey of discovering Jersey City, learning it’s history has become an integral part of this discovery process! So far we’ve covered Pershing Field, The Arch […]
The Bar at Union Republic
Union Republic was my second ever “Eats” post when I started ChicpeaJC. I will honestly say this, completely on the record, that UR is one of my favorite restaurants to eat at. Their food satisfies all my cravings; If I am looking for something light to eat I will have one of their seasonal salads, […]
Massiel Hernandez
It’s been a while since I did a post on a Jersey City “Stylish peep” which is essentially what ChicpeaJC was initially going to be centered around…fashioniable people. Massiel, a Jersey City native is an actress and plus size model….Massiel and I have been Facebook friends for a while, and the first thing I thought […]
ChicpeaTV Episode 2
Last month we dropped ChicpeaTV Episode 1: Lunch at the Hamilton Inn with Rachael Robbins. The first episode did great, people loved it and we we are so glad it was well received. Since then, we’ve upgraded a little and got new mics to improve the sound quality! Yay for low budget filming! When Kyra […]
“Raw Dinner” recap
I am sure those of you who follow my blog/social media have seen that I’ve been promoting for the past two weeks a “Raw Dinner”; a party that I was hosting with Chef David from Whealth along with DJ Reese and Chantal Lamour. After weeks of planning, tasting, anxiety…. the day finally came. I was so excited […]
BROA
I’ve been waiting for this post to happen ever since I first interviewed Liz, girl boss and owner of Feena Boutique. I met Michael, owner and chef of Broa cafe that day while trying on the whole store… Broa cafe which is right underneath Feena was still under construction at that time…I became fast friends […]
Bojangles!
Happy Hump day y’all. Another Wednesday means another Hip Hop Dance video! This one is a throwback jam. I am not the biggest fan of Pitbull but some of his beats just make you want to dance, like this one… Speaking of Hip Hop. This Sat night (Jan 31rst) I am hosting a “Raw Dinner” […]
Kid Kold
A few weeks ago, after working with and interviewing 17 years young prodigy/photographer Andy-Mac (which blew up my website btw) I realized that I wanted to interview more young talents, people who have a successful future ahead of them… I wanted to be there and meet them before anyone else and to follow their journey… […]
Modern Family Dentistry PT 2
Yes, I said it, going to Modern Family Dentistry with the whole family was fun! It’s been a few months since I interviewed Jen and Ari after they opened their new practice. It was time for my whole family to get their check up, cleaning and for me to get a cavity fixed (don’t judge […]
