#PowerOurPlanet and Stanford Reid
A couple months ago I sat down with actor, pop artist, music producer, screenwriter, inventor, former NJCU student and all around Renaissance man, Stanford Reid, to talk about his upcoming projects.

Indiegrove
I left my corporate job a little over a year ago and since then I’ve been dwelling local coffee shops, working from home or from wherever I can get a decent signal. I carry a huge backpack with my computer, camera and all my office supplies. At first it was fun because I was able […]
Pasta Dal Cuore
Photography by Greg Pallante Pasta Dal Cuore, a fresh pasta shop opened its doors on Jersey Ave almost a year ago. I remember walking by and always seeing the pasta in the window and thinking to myself “I must try it”. One day my hubby bought some sort of spinach ravioli from them and brought […]

Perfect Lives in Jersey City: Live Opera at Jersey City Venues
Imagine sitting dead center before a stage of opera singers as they are in their highest moment. You feel the chill of the auditorium go down your spine and become enveloped by the orchestra. You are taken aback by the crippling look on the main character’s face as they fall sick before you as silence […]
Citi Bike JC
It is no secret that biking is my preferred method of transportation; it’s good exercise, you don’t have to look for parking, and especially in urban areas it is, at most times, much easier and faster to get around. I bought “Bridgitte” as soon as I started ChicpeaJC and have been using it almost daily […]
Caviar Noir
The first time I ever came across “Caviar Noir” was at a local trunk show and that is when I met Julie Ramos, the girlboss and jewelry designer behind this uber chic brand. I remember putting on one of her head pieces and in an instant I felt fierce, sexy and edgy. I loved it […]

Carolyn Light
These days the music industry is so saturated with female artists that sing club anthems, are auto-tuned, wear body suits, and sing about things normal people can’t really relate to… I love Rihanna, but who is this girl that owes you money?! and why are you singing about her? Anyway, I digress. I love pop […]
Catherine Haggarty
I first met Catherine a few months ago when I volunteered for the “SeeCleanJC” effort. We bonded while picking up trash and cigarette butts (gross) on a beautiful Sunday morning. She is a super cool, down-to-earth chick that also happens to be an artist, art teacher and athlete. Her story intrigued me and it was […]

“Happiness” at Merseles Studios
Each person during one time or another will experience the utmost of grand happiness and the lowest form of sorrow. In most cases—it can be found that there is more focus on what makes a person depressed as opposed to what makes them happy. Yesterday evening was the opening reception for the Happiness art show: […]
Pictures by Nabil
I came across Nabil’s Instagram (@nvbilll) feed a little over 6 months ago. At first when I started following him, I had no clue he was a local Jersey City kid (anyone in their early 20’s are kids to me now), I thought he was this huge Morrocain photographer residing in the New York City area. […]
Montgomery Gardens Implosion
This morning marked the demolition of the Montgomery Gardens in Jersey City. The morning was quiet with the sun rising over the New York skyline. Directly below stood mere carvings of what the Montgomery Gardens used to be. Tensions have been running high since a thundering roar echoed throughout the streets. As the dust settled […]
